We purchased a lot from LWB and worked with their in-house architect, Ernesto Casteñada, to design us a modern house in the woods. Our process with Ernesto was collaborative, respectful, and fun. He was kind, a great listener, and was very attentive to our wishes and our budget. Our project manager, Joel Keefer, did a great job of keeping me informed of progress, answering my questions, meeting me at the house at all hours when I had urgent thoughts, communicating with subcontractors, and generally helping to keep me calm while building a dream home. He was always accessible, respectful, and a joy to have leading the team. LWB prides themselves on not only the quality of those employed by the company, but the quality of their subcontractors, and it shows. We broke ground in October 2019 and moved in at the end of June 2020.

New Construction & Design

We had used other general contractors in the past, and as with all construction, there will be unforeseen issues arise. The entire team at Loren Wood Builders far exceeded our expectations on communication, problem solving, and moving into planned action expeditiously. Their work product is superior! We have more projects to do and home building to consider, and one thing is for certain, we found our permanent contractor without reservation. The entire team at Loren Wood Builders are more than qualified in all areas of construction and provide their services with great care. Bravo to Loren and his entire team!

Residential Remodel

We recently had an extensive remodel with LWB and let me tell you that they did an amazing job. We replaced 2 bathrooms, new windows, doors, new screened in porch and outside living area. One of the selling points of LWB was the in house architecture and design team that work with you every step of the way to get the best final project. Loren has top carpenters, painters, and builders on staff that quickly turned the blueprints into reality. In addition to the main project, Joel (our PM) was happy to tackle any punch list items that needed done in the house. One of the best thing about working with LWB is the work is done right, and they stand behind everything they do. The finished project is amazing and we love our new old house!

Loren Wood Builders lives up to the reputation that they have built in Bloomington. We just completed a whole home renovation and addition project with LWB and we had a wonderful experience with their team. Every person who I encountered on this project came to work with the highest level of skill, courtesy, dedication, and respect. Every subcontractor hired under their management also shares their ethos. We would hire them again in a heartbeat!

Loren Wood Builders worked with us and completed the renovation of our commercial office building that is home to our wealth management firm, Innovative Financial Solutions. The associates at Loren Wood Builders and our project manager were exceptional! They were extremely professional and conscious in every aspect of the project. They were flexible in meeting our needs, communicating with us, responsive, proactive to adapt to changes, and met the project timeline as promised. We are very pleased with all aspects of the renovation and would highly recommend Loren Wood Builders for any commercial projects.

Commercial Remodel

We cannot be more pleased with the outcome of a major main floor remodel that Loren’s team executed. We were on an accelerated timeline and the LWB took that task seriously. From start to finish they were able to do all the demo, floors, lighting, kitchen, bathroom, laundry, trim, doors, paint and get us back into the our home with in just a couple months. Everyone on the team was very friendly and respectful of our home and our family. They all went above and beyond to make sure we were getting what we wanted. The level of detail is unparalleled – in their design, their trim work, their communication, in their friendliness.

Loren Wood Builders provides the highest quality commercial and home construction available in Bloomington. LWB built our new Hoosier Heights Bloomington location and the craftsmanship and care is evident in every corner of the complicated remodel/new construction project. Loren’s personal touch is ever present and it shows in the excellent quality of the finished product. Their flexibility and commitment to working within the scope of our tight budget was impressive. We would not have been able to complete this new climbing gym without them. I would choose Loren Wood Builders again in a heartbeat and recommend that you choose them as well.
