vanDeventer Design

Possibly the most talented design artist I have ever come in contact with. His renovations are always unique and sensitive to the architecture of the specific property. He is highly conscientious and ethical. His renovation crew can be described as skilled artisans.

I hired Leland vanDeventer to design and construct a kitchen and bath renovation. The kitchen renovation was a complete gut and remodel. The bath work involved replacing the ceramic tile floor, tub and surround. Mr. vanDeventer produced a classic, highly functional design that compliments the style of the house. He found innovative ways to work with a few existing elements. From the time I hired him he begin work and continued through to completion in a reasonable, understandable time. He started construction when he said he would and had either his employees or subs there every day until completion. He kept me involved during the entire process. His biggest challenge was repairing the kitchen floor in this 160 year old raised floor house. The existing floor was unsightly, uneven, and poorly constructed during a much earlier renovation. He employed sound building techniques to reconstruct and level the floor which should last for many years to come. Cost and schedule estimates were reasonable considering scope changes and uncertainties that come with renovating a 160 year old home.

Leland demonstrates great knowledge and expertise in design, he is well versed with the latest trends in contempery interiors but also shows that that he knows traditional interiors are very much still popular in the right setting.He is conscious of budget and knows where to spend and where to save.He can easily visualize the the end product because he also has vast building experience. I recently have had the pleasure to have him help me on a project and he comes up with great ideas He is easy to communacate with and always has an open mind.He knows how to make good use of every inch of space with comfort and ease of use always in mind He is currently helping me design a 1.5mm home renovation in the French Quarter and I have complete confidence in him I recommend Leland to anyone who wants a great hard working hands on experienced designer

As a Realtor in New Orleans, I have seen a number of renovations executed by vanDeventer Design. Leland knows how to take an old building and turn into a contemporary, elegant living space that works for today's home buyers. His expertise in kitchen and bath design has been demonstrated in many Uptown homes, and the response to those rooms has been very positive over the years. I would recommend Leland's design services to anybody who is renovating their home or simply renovating a kitchen or bathroom. His designs are elegant and timeless.

We hired Leland to design a new bathroom to replace our dated master bathroom in 2012. We fell in love with his design and ideas for tub, vanities, flooring, porcelain tiles, lighting fixtures, etc. The results were beyond our hopes and expectations. We are so proud of our master bath that we show it off to all our friends. I would highly recommend Leland for his professionalism, experience, and design expertise. Sandy Miller
