Lauten Construction

Lauten Construction repaired my foundation and reinforced the log floor joists in my 113-year-old cottage. They did an excellent, professional job surveying the issues and coming up with a strategy for repairs before starting the actual work to an atypical, not-average old house. Lauten has proven experience when it comes to this specific region of the country and older, historic homes. I highly recommend!

We hired Lauten Design & Construction for a multi-part renovation this spring 2019 (upstairs laundry room, custom mudroom, 2 new children bathrooms & playroom). It was the best possible renovation experience. Lauten is competent, meticulously honest, and great at staying in communication throughout the project. Drew and his team finished within our tight time frame, despite the fact that we added an exterior project partway through the renovation. Drew’s process worked well for us – a few initial walk-throughs, then he brought in his designer to hear our needs and ideas, and she drew up floor plans while Drew created the detailed budget estimate. We sourced many things ourselves (light fixtures, vanities, tile, etc), and Drew was flexible and helpful during that process. Project manager Lisa is a dream to work with throughout the nitty-gritty parts of a renovation – great at keeping the crew and subcontractors on schedule, and readily responsive to all our texts and emails with questions or minor changes to the plan. Lead carpenter Mike and the rest of the crew were excellent, and had the carpentry skills to do several custom projects as part of the reno that give our home a craftsman feel, including adding built-ins in the closets, making a door for a unique linen closet, an old-fashioned transom window in the bathroom, and a beautiful solid wood shelf in our mudroom. We had a great experience working with Lauten and his team, and plan to use them for our next renovation project soon.

The team at Lauten construction has been wonderful to work with this past year. We collaborated with them on a project they had to install one of our electric floor heating systems. They were great communicating all the details of the room so we could help customize the installation plan for them and their customer. Very professional and well-organized, would highly recommend working with them if you're in the area!

I thoroughly enjoy working with Lauten Construction on any remodel or design project as they are a well-trusted family-owned company. They take pride in their work and it shows greatly; clients are always thrilled with the end product. Talented, humble, and diligent!

We hired Lauten to take down a load bearing wall, and expand our family room. Lauten was so easy and enjoyable to work with. They are extremely professional, prompt, and reasonably priced. I highly recommend them, and should we need anymore work done on our house, they will be the ones to do it!

Lauten Construction renovated our kitchen; converted our garage into living space; added a front porch, pantry, mudroom and laundry room; replaced vinyl windows with higher quality ones; replaced roof and other exterior siding materials; and made various other changes to our home. It was an involved and complex project that impacted most of the rooms our family uses on a regular basis. Lauten did a fantastic job with the project from start to finish. The quality of work exceeded our expectations in all areas. The renovation was completed in a timely manner with as little interruption to our daily lives as was possible. The carpenters who did much of the work were extremely professional, talented, punctual and friendly. Regular weekly meetings took place to keep everybody apprised of the project's status and budget. Drew Lauten is a knowledgeable and kind person with a positive attitude. Working with him and his colleagues at Lauten was a true pleasure. We highly recommend Lauten Construction and look forward to working with the company in the future.

Lauten Construction constructed my house. And they did some design work for some exterior and interior features. I am very pleased with the workmanship of the house. Lauten didn't treat me like some business partner conducting a transaction. They are very personable and friendly. They worked with me to achieve the vision I had for my house. In fact I selected Lauten because I could tell right away that Drew (General Manager) understood the vision and potential of what this project could be and Mike (Lead Carpenter) constructed it meticulously well. Lauten never got stumped by any challenge on this completely custom house. He communicated frequently and consistently throughout the life of the project. I expected high quality work above all else and that is what Lauten provided. I highly recommend them.

Great Job!! Thank you so much for helping finish a room in the basement of our new home. Lauten took care of everything and had the room ready for us when we moved in. Thanks again!!

On time, on budget, prompt and responsive. Work was beautifully done and special requests and innovative ideas fully supported and executed.

Lauren has renovated our hundred year old house in Purcellville twice. They have rebuit the front porch. And after extensive water damage after a broken pipe in the second floor, they repaired water damage to the floors, replaced both bathrooms, and installEd a new kitchen. Lauten worked with us to maintain as much of the old, original detais of the house and restore what had been damaged. When you have an old house it is great to work with people who love old historic homes.

By the end of next year, there will not be a room in my house that Lauten hasn't touched. The results are beautiful. In July 2011, they remodeled the second floor of my townhouse. Opening a wall, they created an open concept kitchen and changed the look and feel of my main floor. I am as happy now as then. Recently, Lauten built out my laundry closet to accommodate a new W/D combo and sink. They also refinished my powder room and installed transom windows in the high walls/cathedral staircase. (This is the project cost in the field below.) In 2015, they will renovate my master bed/bath and guest bathrooms. Lauten is the only renovator I will use. I trust them. Every person on Rob's team is top-notch. They listen and understand your expectations, and bring exceptional value not only in price, but in service.

Lauten Construction did a terrific job transforming our house into a home our family plans to live in for many years. The staff was on-time, polite and respectful of my family's privacy, and did the work in a timely manner. The work itself was A-1 and we are very pleased with the results. This is a company that will consistently communicate with you about your vision for your renovation and do their best to make it happen. Sincerely, Lori & John Price
