“[In 1986] I contacted Rob Lauten, who I believe, was just starting out his business. Rob did a wonderful job and his craftsmanship has withstood the test of time. Now it is 2019 and we are still living in the old stone house. We once again called Lauten Construction. This time, Rob’s son, Drew, showed up. Drew and his very capable crew of Aaron and Allen seamlessly matched the earlier work. We were again impressed and grateful for the conscientious work and attention to detail. As important as the skill and craftsmanship, the crew had a real sense of design and proportion, which I believe sets them apart.” – Jeff M. Round Hill

“I would like to recognize Brian or his exceptional service. He was fabulous, and his helpers were good too. Brian was wonderful, and he always went the extra mile to make things nice. I would highly recommend him, and he is a very nice young man.” – Bette F., Purcellville

“I’m impressed with how clean the job site has been kept. It helps so much to see the care brought to our home.” – Kristy P., Leesburg
“Mike and Scott are awesome professionals. They work and work all day, and I don’t even know if they stop for lunch. The door looks fabulous! I was here all day and watched the progress; Mike and Scott left the door area in better condition than it was the first time it was put in. They had to rip up some cherry flooring for rot, and you can hardly tell. The door sill is magnificent (!), and will keep out wet and moisture for many, many years, I am sure. I told them I wish I could get them to replace all my door sills, as the job they did is far superior to the first installation. AND they stayed tonight until the job was done. These men have two outstanding abilities: 1. They figure out excellent solutions to problems that pop up as they go along. 2. They work together. As they interact all day, their laughter is contagious–I find myself laughing out loud in another room! Just wanted to tell you. You have two really good guys. I appreciate you sending them our way. – Susan M., Leesburg
“Thank you very much for a great job. It has been a pleasure working with everyone at Lauten.” – Bob and Caroyln E., Leesburg

“When they leave it’s as if they were never here. They do such a good job cleaning up. The guys are lovely.” – Susan M., Leesburg
“Brian did an excellent job. Very pleased with his work. I think this is the first time a contractor exceeded my expectations. Would definitely use Lauten again and recommend to friends. And very happy to be able to easily use our dryer again.” – Eryn G., Purcellville
Drew, hope you are well. The shed looks great -thanks to you and your team. The pride you have in your company is evident. There’s a good reason why Kathy and I have engaged your company these past years: the quality of your work. That’s why we continue to come back to you and recommend you to others. – Tim S., Leesburg
“I remain very impressed by your team’s level of effort, attention to detail, quality of work, and going the extra mile to make sure the job was done correctly as unexpected challenges were discovered. The team was very mindful as they were doing the work to leave the site (our home) in clean and orderly manner each and every day. As often happens with a home improvement or refurbishment engagement, additional challenges were discovered as the job progressed. While other contractors may have simply stated “not in scope” or “not our issue”, your team brought the issues to our attention and in collaboration with your office we were able to make sure that the work was done and done right. Thank you again to Brian, James, and the Lauten team for their hard work and effort on our behalf.” – Kevin W., Leesburg
“Just want to tell you that I think Allen is amazing and I’m glad it was him who was available. He goes above and beyond. Stayed late to put the wall studs in so I could better visualize the bathroom layout…And even after crazy days he always leaves the place so clean!” – Kendra H., Purcellville
“We are very pleased with our transition from a clawfoot tub to a shower. Your team is well-versed in dealing with a 95-year-old house. Their experience and problem-solving was put to the test more than once. They are professional and considerate from arrival through clean up.” – Shelley P., Purcellville
“Finally, we are able to share some images of our new space. It has been a long process, but it was so worth it. We were so darn lucky to get Lauten Construction and the amazing Aaron Kilgore to build this addition to our modest 1800 farmhouse. We cannot thank you enough for your incredible craftsmanship, hard work and patience. You have made our vision come alive – literally- and we are so grateful! If anyone ever needs a builder – Drew Lauten is your man!!” – Pavla T., Middleburg
“[They] did an excellent, professional job surveying the issues and coming up with a strategy for repairs before starting the actual work to an atypical, not average old house. Lauten has proven experience when it comes to this specific region of the country and older, historic homes. I highly recommend!” – David R., Leesburg
“The guys have done a wonderful job. Efficient, professional, and very polite.” – Elizabeth C., Berryville
“We wanted to thank you, Lisa, [Electrician], and most especially Glenn for a job well done. Our gym/gun room turned out to be exactly what we had envisioned. And we can’t compliment Glenn enough for his skill and professionalism.” – Ed R., Hamilton
“The budgets and invoices are clear and detailed and really help the project stay on track.”
“We appreciate all of the hard work, and your ability and willingness to work with us on the more challenging portions of our sizable project to allow us to continue residing in the house during the progress. The house itself looks great. Thank you, Drew, Lisa, Mike, and others for your reassurance in backing up your work and any follow-up needed for any potential issues that may arise. No signs of those at this time, but knowing you all are there is definitely reassuring.” – Frank and Pam C., Leesburg
“They are lovely to work with. We have great relationships with Drew, Lisa, and the crews. I think they are great interpersonally. Brad was the lead for the installation and he was fabulous. He had great attention to detail, and we were always very pleased with his instincts and his follow-through. Lauten Construction Co. is a great company all around.” – Bijan and Catherine G., Leesburg
“Their attention to detail, creativity and customer service. They are committed to treating the customer as if their project was their own.” – Susan and Mark M., Leesburg
“The quality of work and attention to detail is great. The professionals’ problem-solving ability is great, as well as their creative ways of making things work out. They are custom carpenters and renovators. Rob Lauten has passed his expertise on to his son, Drew. He brought him up and groomed him in the business and Drew has worked with the business his whole life. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anybody!” – Mark and Susan M., Leesburg
“I can’t wait for the weather to get better so we can sit out [on the deck] again. It is absolutely beautiful, and I would recommend them to anyone. They did a fantastic job, they were very professional, and I couldn’t be any happier.” – Bette F., Purcellville
“The shower looks like a work of art, Brad should really be proud of his work.” – Bijan G., Leesburg
“I found myself contemplating the vast changes I’ve been through since the fire on May 2nd. I am seeing the GOOD from this mishap and am SO happy! THANK YOU!! What I appreciate most about Kevin is his strong work ethic and his ease with accepting responsibility. He is also a great communicator, not only with me but with the many tradespeople that come around. Good communication, I have learned…is KEY to working together!” – Darcy S., Purcellville
“Brad is doing an awesome job. His attention to detail is amazing.” – Catherine G., Leesburg

“Lauten Construction did a terrific job transforming our house into a home our family plans to live in for many years. The staff was on-time, polite and respectful of my family’s privacy, and did the work in a timely manner. The work itself was A-1 and we are very pleased with the results. This is a company that will consistently communicate with you about your vision for your renovation and do their best to make it happen. Thank you for working with us to create our “dream” kitchen.” – John and Lori P., Leesburg
“I was so thoroughly impressed with Lauten’s professionalism, knowledge, and work ethic.” – Richard B., Leesburg
“Our repair was somewhat complicated with concurring issues related to long-term water damage from a faulty door installation and more recent water damage due to Hurricane Sandy last fall. Drew’s repair proposal was reasonable and affordable. He and his crew were intelligent, professional and always called and showed up when they said they would (this is no small thing if you’ve ever had to work with contractors in this area.) Finally, the most important part of this experience is that they did a great job. The install looks nice and appears to be airtight and solid. I will definitely recommend this contractor to my neighbors.” – Charlotte B., Berryville
“You all have been amazing to work with and we are truly looking forward to doing business again soon.” – Stephanie C., Leesburg
“I was very lucky to have you as a contractor. The house looks beautiful, especially the kitchen/dining area. You did all the hard work, and now I can just look forward to the easy stuff like decorating!” – Elaine S., Middleburg
“Lauten has done two major jobs for us and in both cases, the work was completed on time and beautifully done. Lauten’s crew is extremely skilled, are able to communicate with the customer, and are very neat. We recommend this company.” – Paul K., Leesburg
