We couldn't speak any higher about our experience with Joe and Brandon with DesignLab! We built a custom home and they were the perfect match for us to create the custom cabinet designs and unique stones we were looking for. The design and renderings allowed us to visualize how things would look and gave great suggestions as to what would work well together within our budget.

The finished product was even more beautiful than we expected. Between the kitchen and bathroom cabinets/counters, they brought our vision to life. Brandon assisted in providing follow up service to minor details that needed to be adjusted in a prompt and efficient manner. Highly recommend!

From the moment I stumbled upon their stunning designs, I knew I was in for a treat. The craftsmanship and design of the bathroom vanities is unparalleled, blending elegance with functionality seamlessly. Not only did they exceed my expectations in terms of aesthetics, but their commitment to quality is truly remarkable.

Each piece is meticulously crafted with attention to detail, ensuring both durability and beauty. What’s more, their customer service, Brandon specifically is top-notch, making the entire process from selection and design to installation a breeze. If you’re looking to elevate your bathroom space with style and sophistication, look no further than DesignLab for the ultimate vanity and design experience!

My dream closet. They even designed and constructed push-to-open segregated shoe cubbies all around the top perimeter in order to keep the clean aesthetic of the space I wanted and the shoes dust-free.

I've never felt so happy in a closet before! The once chaotic space isn't very big, but now it's simply stunning, complete with well-thought out design, expert construction, and beautiful finishes. It takes a little longer than some other companies, but it's definitely worth the wait. Shout outs to Oz and Memo for going the extra mile to ensure that everything is pristine and perfect.

Lisa Kocsis

We were amazed at the level of transparency from this company to have. We decided to have our master closet and all of our kids closets done. The team was incredible. They are detail oriented, diligent, hold your hand throughout the entire design (the design team is great, true artists process, they worked with our budget. The communication is incredible they really over delivered. 

We love our closets and the entire experience.

Jeff, Mr Lee and their team were a pleasure to work with. They made sure we were involved in all the decisions and they completed the project in a timely manner. Brandon made certain that we saw a wide selection of tiles, countertops, mirrors and cabinets and was very accommodating of our wishes throughout the project.

Bob Lanman

We used DesignLab for shelving in our library as well as a desk in our office. See images. We wanted a front room in our house that stands out and looks great. They made great suggestions to us to help us stay within our budget and still get value with high-quality materials as well as a really beautiful look. I recommend working with the team and had a good experience - project manager was great!
