What do recent reviews say?

Lorey Cavanaugh and her team consistently deliver thoughtful design paired with smooth execution. Reviewers praise her ability to listen and translate ideas into functional, beautiful spaces. Project managers like Elaina and Stephanie coordinate subcontractors efficiently, and clients report high-quality finishes in kitchens and bathrooms across homes ranging from 1920s to modern. One older complaint flagged a reluctance to take on smaller bathroom work unless it met a budget threshold.

Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.

Will they manage subcontractors, or do I hire separately?
The team coordinates plumbing, electrical, carpentry, tiling, and demolition in-house through their project managers.
