"As Grand Rapids "grows up" a bit, the city is starting to explore different tastes. But my concern with this growth is that the boundaries are not being pushed, or at the minimum even explored. It's extremely refreshing to have the Lorenz brothers involved to guide and suggest their thoughts on projects like Start Garden's Interiors. Without David and Jonathan, I fear we would all end up with design solutions that feel like incremental improvements, as opposed to the exponential improvements they provide."

- Ben Gott, Start Garden

“We had seen Lorenz & Company do outstanding work for a business associate, so when it came time for us to build our new home, we knew we wanted them on our team. David and Jonathan's design process was a delight from start to finish. We had multiple meetings to discuss our family and living situation, as well as our design wish list. They met us on site several times to help us understand the best ways to maximize views and privacy. Then they delivered a preliminary design that perfectly matched our needs. Of course the Lorenz brothers came up an outstanding plan for our dream home. But it’s what they do after the initial design that really makes them special.

They have a keen understanding of building materials, construction methods, and common sense functionality. They worked with us and our builder to value engineer the project, for the optimum mix of quality and value. We were especially pleased with the millwork and trim design they did for our interiors. This gave the finish carpenters a chance to show off their detailed carpentry skills, and gave us a level of craftsmanship that we would not have insisted on without Lorenz & Company. We are nearing the completion of our project, and Jonathan and David have added value and craftsmanship at every step of the way. Accolades are in order. Bravo and thank you, David and Jonathan!”

- Dave and Carol Burgess, Ada, Michigan

“With both the exceptional taste and creative problem solving that Lorenz & Company brought to the table, Start Garden was able to create something truly exceptional while remaining within our budget.”
