  • “Lacey held my hand during the process and brought my historic renovation to life through thoughtful planning, design, and attention to detail.”

    — Michael Aaron

  • "I have worked with Lacey Wotring as a contractor and as a client. I will never work with anyone else! Lacey is talented and personable and clever. She single-handedly saved me on my own renovation. She is reasonably priced and willing to go the extra mile to make a project move forward. I am continually impressed with her ability to remedy conflict on a job site and make city planning, the HDLC and Safety and Permits pay attention to her projects. It takes skill and experience and Lacey has it!"

    — Tim Wolff

  • “Lacey has an understanding of both design and practical construction. Her ability to translate client needs into innovative and functional designs is impressive, ensuring that every project is not only aesthetically pleasing but also feasible and within budget. She is meticulous and ensures that all plans are clear and comprehensive, which makes for a smooth and predictable construction process.”
