For most Americans, their home is their most valued--and valuable--possession. It stands to reason that great caution should be taken before entrusting a home to a contractor. Many reasons exist to make a change to a home: a growing family, outdated bathrooms, an inadequate kitchen, universal design changes to allow staying in one's home longer in life, increasing the value of a home, or just a change in lifestyle. With changes, comes the need for careful decisions. In the past decade, state laws have helped clear the field of shady contractors.

In this era of instant communication--email, instant messages, Facebook, Twitter, text messages--one form of communication that takes effort, thought and time, is the personal letter. While the final payment on a project keeps L&M Construction's business engine running, it's the letters of appreciation that fuels Jim's enthusiasm and love for his work.
Design/build is a process where an entire remodeling or new construction project--from the initial design concepts and budgets to permits, regulations and zoning laws to actual construction and final walk through--are organized and performed by a single entity, a single point of responsibility. In past decades, the traditional approach for construction projects consists of the appointment of a designer on one side, and the appointment of a contractor on the other side, typically an architect and a general contractor.
Every cook loves a well-appointed kitchen. A great kitchen makes cooking fun and provides a welcoming space for family members to gather. But there is another reason to invest in upgrading your dated kitchen: The return on investment (ROI) for your home. The ROI will depend on how your spend your remomeling dollars and the strength of the housing market at the time of sale in your particular area.

Absolute dream of a company to work with. Very detailed and communicative through the whole project. Left the site completely clean every night. We had an addition put on our house to expand the kitchen. We absolutely love our kitchen! The workmanship and professionalism is top notch! Absolutely recommend Rick and Jim!

I would title this - You Get What You Pay For. I can't say enough good things about Rick & Jim of L&M. This was a fairly large project - they tore down our three-season porch and built a two-story addition. They were always incredibly respectful of the rest of our home, keeping it clean, minimizing disruption to our lives and even picking up the work site each day.
They were meticulous from the planning stage to the excavation through the construction and right down to getting the putty colors right (4 different colors) in the sliding door threshold! The level of communication, detail and care they put into this project amazed me every day. The result is a beautiful new, sunny room overlooking our lake with a fabulous gym below. L&M is more expensive than others, but you can't beat the quality of their work and their professionalism. I can't wait to have them do my next project.

Highly Recommend! We couldn't be happier, we love the outcome of our addition and upgrades to the current house we made. We were impressed with how "no details were overlooked on the entire project"! Both Rick and Jim were there everyday to oversee all aspects of the buildout from the ground up. They had the best attitude and the same can be said for all the teams who came in to work the different stages of our buildout.
We are so happy with our new deck as well! The construction crew were polite and worked hard to ensure a job well done! You can see they take pride in their work! Again, so much attention went into details and a job done right that we can freely speak highly of L & M Construction. Communication by phone or text or e-mail was always swift and prompt. We High Recommend L & M Construction!

Due to unforseen circumstances, I had to turn a 2 car garage into an In law apartment. Seeing how I had used L and M a few years back when a tree completely demolished the deck I called and talked to Rick. From the very beginning of the planning board meeting to the last finishing touches I could not be happier. The itemized contract was right on point. Timelines were fantastic. All the sub contractors were as professional as Land M. I can't say enough about the guys. Their work is truly amazing!

Our family has used L&M construction for 4 major construction projects on our lake front home; a two car garage, kitchen and bathroom remodel, and building a finished basement. We have also used L&M for more minor projects such as deck resurfacing with composite material, window and door replacements and some general annual home maintenance items.
The reasons we continue to go to L&M for our construction needs are: 1) The price that we are given for the initial quote is what it will cost; no surprises halfway through nor at the end the project. 2) L&M commits to a timeline and finishes within that time. 3) We never felt like we had to manage the project as L&M is very capable of staying on top of the project and keeping us informed of all progress. 4) The quality of the work is outstanding. 5) L&M keeps themselves well-educated on the latest building innovations and educates the homeowner on different options. 6) L&M stands behind the work they do. 7) L&M keeps the worksite very clean - a major plus when you living in the construction zone
