Design & Construction, Together

One of the hardest parts of a renovation is the gap between the vision and the build. Architects design things contractors push back on. Contractors build things designers didn't intend. At LDB, we handle both — which means what gets designed is what gets built. Alex brings nearly 25 years of experience in residential design and construction, with a builder's instinct at the design table and a designer's eye on the job site.
