Paul - Allen Kitchen Design

I have worked with Lori over several years as her project manager, as a trade partner, and as a business owner and she is one of the hardest working women in the home improvement industry. Her knowledge and passion for what she does will blow you away!

From beginning to end, she will treat your home as if it were her own. I have no doubt that whatever you spend for her time, you will more than save double that on your project!

I recently partnered up with Lori to sell our flooring on her upcoming projects. She is helping us develop a kitchen and bathroom division as well! She has been a perfect fit for our business and we are excited to have her on our team. She is well respected by her peers in the home improvement industry! We look forward to a great professional relationship and to growing our business together!

I recently completed a kitchen remodel in Carlsbad and hired Lori on her "All in" Start to Finish Advisor Package. She guided me on every detail and even recommended that I hire Allen Kitchen Design to complete the work. I had a great experience with both Lori and Paul. I saved so much money by investing in a "Remodel Advisor" to guide me and help me through the process. Lori was truly worth every penny. My kitchen is just perfect and it all went so smoothly with Lori there to educate and guide me through everything! Hire Her! You won't be disappointed!

We worked with Lori on a major kitchen remodel. Over the years, we had remodeled the rest of the house and almost doubled the square footage. The kitchen was the last room that needed a complete renovation. 

After Meeting Lori for an initial consultation, we knew she was the right person for us. She helped us with initial concepts all the way to completion of our project. Her knowledge of the construction industry and all of her contacts with the various trades involved in our remodel was immediately apparent and appreciated. 

Lori was onsite regularly over the course of the project and reviewed the project timeline with us as needed to ensure everything was on track. When issues came up (and they always do with any type of major remodel or new construction), Lori was quick to respond and helped us come up with solutions that kept the project moving forward and without exploding our budget. 

Lori's expertise and oversight of our project was invaluable. Whether you're managing a remodel project yourself, working with a general contractor or even a construction company (large or small), Lori will act as your advocate and help ensure your project meets your espectations, stays on track and within your budget.

After interviewing several contractors we found online, we narrowed it down to 2. We decided to go with Lori as our "Start to Finish" remodel advisor and her recommendations of Allen Kitchen Design. We had a pretty major kitchen redesign to create a sink island on top of a post tension foundation. We wanted to hire only experienced professionals for this. Lori won us over with her knowledge and creative design ideas. She introduced ideas to us that we never would have thought of. Our kitchen is absolutely beautiful and Lori was worth every penny!  (By the way, we saved approximately $60k by not going with the larger company!)

As. a longtime personal friend to Lori, I would like to share my support and excitement for her in starting her own remodeling planning business. She's truly amazing at what she does and for as long as I have known her, she has given her heart and soul to everything she sets her mind to. 

You are in great hands and you can trust your home to her abilities.

Having recently gone through several remodels on my own home, Lori was a great advisor and advocate on so many details. With my busy schedule, she was a great help in managing my own hired trades. I'm so glad she's doing this because there is definitely a need for helping educate and prepare people through what can be a very stressful experience.

Hiring a "remodeling planner" was a new concept that I had never heard of but I can honestly say using MyRemodelAdvisor.com was the best idea ever! I was completely overwhelmed with the whole idea of how to design, hire and manage a remodel while living out of the country. I needed personalized help and wasn't comfortable hiring a big company. (I was in the process of moving back to the US from Japan.) Lori was so on top of everything and handled everything so strategically. We used her recommendations on trades and material vendors. She stayed involved the entire way and was always a thorough communicator. She kept us on budget and on time! She was truly a great value too compared to others we called.  

Ryan & Shara

We cannot say enough great things about hiring Lori and MyRemodelAdvisor.com for or flooded country kitchen. She stood by us patiently and fought for several weeks with our insurance claim adjuster to increase the payout to replace our country kitchen. Lori's an amazing negotiator and she knows her stuff! Not only did she get our kitchen put back together, she guided us on every detail on how to keep us on a very strict budget. She made such great recommendations on every material and she treated us like we were family. Her advice made all the difference! Paul and Gary were great too! We love our kitchen! 

Catherine & Eric

First off, I have known Lori for over 35 years! My husband and I used Lori for her "As-Built & Concept Ideas Advisor Package" & "Contractor Research & Estimate Review Advisor Package" as we live up in OC and already had a contractor in mind. Lori designed our ktichen and reviewed the contractors conract and helped us negotiate on the terms (which easily saved us a couple thousand dollars!) There were terms on it that we did not understand and we made him included a better breakdown of everything he was responsible for in writing. I'm so glad we had Lori to guide us on so many missed details.

I have known Lori for over 10 years and during this time she has undeniably proven her dedication to her work. Lori is organized, goal-oriented, flexible, and is extremely reliable. Lori also has excellent communication skills which allows her to build great relationships with her clients. I feel fortunate that I can call her my friend. 

I recently purchased an older condo and am only in the budget planning stages. I used Lori for a "Consultation Advisor package" to try to figure out a proper budget and what my options are for either a cosmetic remodel or a complete tear out and replacement type remodel. She gave me a lot of clarity of what I need to do and awesome guidance on how the process works and what to look for in a reputable contractor when the time is right. It was definitely worth the $400 consultation fee. I am now feeling much better prepared and know I will easily save thousands when I am ready to start my project. I will be calling her back for more packages.
