Rufino and his team have gone above and beyond during the arduous #fixerupperdetroit process, to the point that I don't think we could have done this with any other team. Rufino listened to what Matt, our home inspector, had to say and considered it when setting up our construction proposal. We could tell that he would prioritize structural safety and quality work. He partnered with us in doing our renovation so that our funds would stretch as far as possible. While the water was turned off and clean out/demolition of the kitchen area was underway, we lived offsite, and then we moved in after a few months. Rufino recommended some structural improvements, including an extra load-bearing wall, after we did demolition and discovered some unexpected (and unwelcome) surprises, so that we would be starting from a safe, sound place. He also helped us plan ahead for future renovations by having extra plumbing hookups installed while we had the walls open.

Our construction team had a lot more to consider once we were living in the home: will their work disrupt our normal activities? Will our cats escape while the team is going in and out? Will the fumes from their products jeopardize our health? In all cases, Rufino has made an effort to make it possible for us to live as normally as possible while not having a kitchen or laundry. By the time we moved in, we had a working bathroom, refrigerator, and laundry sink. When I asked him to set up the microwave, also, he did so promptly and in a space that was convenient for us (and inconvenient for his team).

Rufino helped me figure out which rooms were safest for the cats while certain tasks are being completed and on more than one occasion helped me secure them in that space when I couldn't do it alone. Most members of the team have let the cats be out around the house as much as possible and will even chat with Dorian or pet him if he asks. Members of the team checked in with us about when to do certain projects and were respectful of us and our neighbors. I've never worked with a construction team before, but I'm pretty sure none of this is in the job description.

 Labra Design+Build has drastically exceeded our expectations not only in their quality of work, but in their encouraging, respectful nature and resourceful responses to the problems inherent in rehabbing a Detroit historic home. If you are considering a home renovation or new home construction, I hope that you will consider working with them. Detroit and the surrounding area need more small businesses that do such quality work, and we'd love to see the Labra family grow. We will definitely be working with them again!

We were so pleased with the project that Labra Design did for our Mid Century Modern house. I saw a project he did (found it through Houzz) and Rufino was very quick to respond to my request, and he was able to squeeze our smaller project in quickly. 

We had a huge hole in our main room, and we needed a stair rail, needed it quickly because we have a two year old and the house just wasn't safe as it was. He was quick to draw up sketches and seemed to understand our aesthetic and what we wanted without ever seeing the project in person. He was also very willing to research different price options to keep within our budget. I was impressed with his effort and commitment to making sure the stair rail was as safe as possible. 

The install went smoothly and was right on time. We can't wait to use Labra Design again when we redo our master bathroom and kitchen!

Rufino designed and built our new walk-in closet in our master bedroom.  Can't say enough how much we thoroughly enjoyed working with him and the outcome of our closet.  He came up with a great design that the other contractors did not even think of.  He was also under their price by a good enough margin.  He was thorough, even buying the laundry hampers for us (that he made spaces for).  It was a pleasure and we will use him for our future custom book shelf project soon.  

Highly recommended!

Rufino Labra of Labra Design and Build did a great job on our house. literally the only builder I spoke to that grasp the full concept. Then he made incredible design suggestions and improvements throughout the process. Great handmade quality work at beyond reasonable prices. Give him a call!

I found Mr. Labra online quite a few years ago while searching for someone to build a bookcase / wall unit. I reviewed his website and was extremely impressed with the creativity of his designs. Back then, I was just in the idea stage and Mr. Labra was very helpful (even though some of my ideas were out there) and not pushy at all. Due to my inability to decide on what I really wanted, I essentially ignored the project for quite some time. 
Cut to a few years down the road, I finally made up my mind. I emailed Mr. Labra once again. Right off the bat, he was a consummate professional. He quickly gave me an estimate for my "plans" which was on par with other contractors. What set him apart from the other guys was how he made me a part of the process. Other contractors I contacted listened to my plans and gave me a quote. He worked with me every step of the way (i.e. he listed the different types of wood that he could use, the pros and cons of each and why he felt one was the best fit for me) to give me the best outcome. He also voiced his own opinion when he felt it was warranted. When some of my ideas went against what he felt create a quality product, he let me know how he could tweak things to get it back on track. But, at the same time, he let me know that it was my decision and didn't force me to follow his path.
It did take a while for it to get done. But, once the bookshelf was completed, it was impeccable. You can see the pride he takes in his craftsmanship (while installing the piece, he spent ten minutes fidgeting with a door to make sure it was not a millimeter out of place). There are so many little details I could go into that I've noticed on the unit that make it stand out. 
Needless to say, I am beyond impressed with Mr. Labra's skills (both in design and build) and character. I would recommend him wholeheartedly.
