Labra Design Build

Thanks to Rufino and Labra Design+Build we live in the most beautiful home!

After accompanying us during a showing, Rufino offered honest and innovative insights that expanded the vision we had for a 1950s ranch in Bloomfield Hills. His suggestions simultaneously updated the house and enhanced its original mid century features.

The home first came to life through incredible computer renderings. Rufino optimized the space, seamlessly marrying function with serene aesthetics. He graciously incorporated our ideas and material requests while remaining within budget and timeline.

Our renovation included the kitchen, the mudroom with a half-bath, the entryway, flooring and doors throughout the house, two hallway storage closets, and a custom master closet. Along the way, Rufino identified and managed several additional, structural improvements.

Rufino and his crew (Zach and Abe) all have incredible eyes for detail and are masters at their crafts. They really became like family and went above and beyond for us. For example, the house lost power before the generator was rewired and Rufino personally came over to save the just-stocked refrigerator.

As a testament to this review, a second stage of renovation is already in the works. We highly recommend Labra Design+Build without reservation.

We hired Rufino and his team in early fall 2020 to create custom cabinetry and a dedicated home office space out of an oversized living room in our Ann Arbor home. We could not be happier with the outcome. Rufino was extremely responsive and great to collaborate with on the design. The craftsmanship of the end product is flawless and has many thoughtful details. His team was detail-oriented as well as courteous and professional. I am grateful that we were able to fit this project in during what I know is a very busy time and with an in-demand company. I highly recommend working with Labra Design and Build.

We had an amazing experience with Rufino Labra and his team at Labra Design + Build! Ours was a 2-month project that involved a complete remodel transformation of a very tiny laundry room into a large, spectacular "designer" laundry room of the highest quality and modern design! A second component of the remodel was the basement walk-out area; one double door was replaced with a new double door, and another double door was replaced with windows which required brick work on the outside wall of the house. Also, a built-in faux fireplace was removed and that space was reconstructed. Each component of the work was expertly done, including: tile work, carpentry (new cabinets, too), dry-wall, painting, contracted electrical, and setting up required inspections for all aspects of the project. Rufino and his entire team were such a delight to work with -- at the end of the project we knew we would miss seeing them every day. We highly recommend Labra Design + Build!

Great work, great communication, fair price, and timely work! Couldn't ask for more! Thank you! Labra Design + Build remodeled/reinforced our main living area, which has a vaulted ceiling. Worked with a structural engineer to meet and improve upon suggested design. A lot of work in a little time, and kept the place liveable!

Labra Design and Rafino are the best. What a great company to work with. The entire crew was so professional and knowledgeable. From the initial drawings to the conclusion of the project everything was top notch. I cannot say enough about them ! Highly recommended for any project needs you have.
