COOPER Design Build

The Cooper team is a group of excellent communicators and was able to effectively take a vision and make it into a reality that fit our budget. They listened and addressed our concerns and questions quickly, and we always knew what was happening — no surprises! The floor plan, which includes an addition and new flow in the back of the house, feels like it has always been there. The seamless connection between old and new helped maintain the mid-century modern vibe we love about the house while infusing it with 21st century convenience. The team stuck to our budget and maneuvered covid hiccups with patience and creativity. And our project manager Dave treated our home with care and attention to detail as though it was his own — what more can you ask for?!

Cooper Design Builder, deserve an excellent review for exceptional after-sales care and services, reliable and honest process, relatively good quality work, and great professionalism from all their staff and subcontractors. If there is ONE thing to complain about... it is their price. But if we pay peanuts, we tend to get monkeys! I do not often write reviews but I am inspired to write this review because: 1) I am so thankful for the beautiful sunroom, kitchen and bathrooms, especially during this Covid19 times. 2) Even after a year of living in my remodeled space, Cooper’s staff will pick up my call, come over, and work with manufacturers to replace a black faucet that had chipped paint. (Their staff are always responsive. If a problem is not urgent, they do take a little more time but they have been good about getting back to me.) I have a 1980’s home. I started my remodel in Sept 2018, Cooper completed their work in 6 months as promised. They delivered beautiful work on time, and within budget. We had no big surprises!! Their process was easy to follow and as stress free as remodeling can be. And most of all, Lane (the owner) is a charming, down-to-earth, and reasonable person who values relationships with his clients. When we had some disagreements in our billing or construction, Lane was willing to sit down and go through all the numbers and facts, and he walked us through the process to help us see what we were missing. Lastly, a shout out to Lane, Wes, Courtney, Dave, Britton, Susan, Rene and few others who have done minor works in my home. I ❤️ my home and am reminded of all you everyday. Thank you all.

Cooper did a big and complex bathroom remodel/addition for us on our 1930 home. 1.5 terrible bathrooms became 3.5 beautiful bathrooms that feel like they've always been there. In addition, they completed the work ahead of schedule and got us back in the house just as COVID-19 was closing the city (world!). Real professionals. Very good control over their subs. They know old houses.

We partnered with Lane and the Cooper team on a very ambitious remodel of a historic home. We had a very tight timeline of 5 months from when we started (our rental property was expiring with no option to extend). As is often the case with projects like this, the scope increased significantly as we learned more about the house we had just purchased. We were really impressed with how responsive the team was, and how hard they worked to make our deadline. Throughout the process, their communication was excellent and everyone was professional, friendly and easy to work with. Also, all the professionals they worked with showed up on time and did really good work. Finally, and most importantly, the project was completed on time we are really happy with how everything turned out - the house has been transformed and we love it. We wouldn't hesitate to work with Lane and his team again.

We chose to work with COOPER Design Builders after seeing the recently remodeled home of our close friends who highly recommended them. What impressed us most was that the team was very communicative and quick to respond to our questions. They understood our goals and how to best implement them into the design, material selections, and workmanship of our remodel. Our project manager paid attention to every detail and worked diligently to stay on schedule.

COOPER Design Builders helped us to establish our family zen space where we relax and recharge. They thoughtfully integrated indoor and outdoor spaces into open, flowing environments focused on maximizing the gorgeous views and beautiful light. They truly excelled throughout each phase of our very large project. In the design phase, meetings were well-orchestrated and I am grateful to their design team for doing all the hard work for me! As we began building, I loved having a dedicated team who were incredibly knowledgeable and knew EVERY detail of my project. Our sincere thanks to COOPER Design Builders for their professionalism, passion, and commitment from start to finish!

COOPER Design Builders are professional, prompt, and in constant communication with their clients. They laid out a very detailed cost projection and work schedule for our historic home's complete remodel in Irvington that kept us on time and on budget. We would absolutely work with Lane Cooper and his entire team again!

We were thrilled with the work Lane and his team did on our house. Everything from the design stage, construction to all the finishing touches. We were also highly impressed with the contractors they brought it. Friendly, detailed, high quality. They are great communicators, bringing us along at every steps. In addition, we used Vida Shore for the interior work. She has an amazing knowledge of appliances, wood, lighting, colors, etc. And she and Lane have a fantastic partnership. We are looking to work with them again for our outdoor space. Can't wait!

As a designer, I have worked on numerous projects with Cooper Design Builders since 2010. On each project, start to finish, they are straightforward, collaborative, respectful, detail-oriented and consciousness. The quality of their work is exceptional as is their communication. They have always been easy to work with, committed and engaged. I love having the opportunity to work with Cooper Design Builders because I know the end product will be beautiful and the clients will be thrilled!

I can't say enough good things about this company. As an interior designer for 20 plus years, I have worked with many contractors and Cooper Design Builders is one of the best. Lane Cooper is creative, organized, and honest. All the things you want from a builder. His top priority is a happy client. And, he is smart enough to surround himself with an amazing group of helpers! I am grateful for his choice of onsite talented job supers, his creative director of design (Wes) and his amazing project coordinator (McKenzie)! Such a pleasure to work with this company.

I used Cooper Design to build my ADU for my N Portland house. They handled the entire process from initial design/architecture thru occupancy permit. They were exemplary!!! Efficient, expedient, stuck to initial quoted cost, showed flexibility when I wanted to make modifications, and great with their communication with me. Everybody I had the chance to interact with at Cooper Design was great at their job. Wes, Bryce, Dustin, Susan, and even ol' Cooper himself. :-) And the completed ADU exceeded even my lofty standards

We had an excellent experience with Cooper Design Builders. From the very beginning of the design process through the completion of our project we received professional communication, expectations, and craftsmanship. Our project was a 6 month long process of restoring/updating a 1907 home. Cooper Design Builders did a great job listening to what we wanted, then turning that into a design plan and finished product. We would definitely work with them again.

Cooper Design was wonderful to work with. There team is top notch. We had never done a project with a contractor before. It was a wonderful experience. We hired them to tear down our 1949 upper main floor of a ranch style to the basement foundation and rebuild it. They did an incredible job. On time, On budget and follow up was excellent with any minor issues. I would highly recomend them.

My design firm recently collaborated with Cooper Design Builders on a full-house remodel for our client. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience working with Lane and his team throughout the project, and were impressed with the quality, communication, and attention to detail. My years of renovating experience have proven that there is always "something" unexpected during a job of this scale, and the test of a true professional is the way they manage the challenges and get the job done - meeting, if not exceeding, the clients' expectations. Our clients are thrilled with their newly renovated home, we truly enjoyed furnishing each space, and we will look forward to collaborating with Cooper Design Builders in the future!

Lane and the staff at Cooper Design Builders are a top notch quality team. I hired Lane because he was the one who, hands down, came up with the best ideas and design for my 1925 Dutch Colonial expansion. We added another member to our family and all of a sudden our 3 bedroom house needed to be 4. Lane came up with a beautiful yet compact design to add an addition which included a master bedroom, master bath, walk in closet and a powder room. Lane and his project manager Bryce were efficient and respectful of the fact that we were not only working through and around the holidays, but that we had a new baby and a full house to run. The project took just over 4 months from ground breaking to finishing. We met weekly to make sure everything was on track and that I knew what was happening when in addition to keeping an eye on the budget. The craftsmanship is impeccable. The new addition melds into the old house seamlessly and gives us so much more room and functionality. We now have 2 bathrooms on our main floor where there were none! I can't thank Lane enough for the quality work and for my beautiful "new" old house!

We used Lane and team to turn our back yard into an area that is an extension of our living space. Lane hit it out of the park!!! Not only was it on time and on budget but the attention to detail was spot on. We are in the process of using Cooper design again to remodel our entire house.

Our mid century modern home came with a version of jack-and-jill bathrooms that needed to be completely reconfigured into two full baths. The results are truly lovely and very functional. Lane, the architect, and Dave, the construction supervisor, were always accessible and enjoyable to work with. The site was kept clean and progress went smoothly. We recommend them highly.

I believe Lane and Cooper Design Builders continues to be the gold standard of service and expertise. They've figured out a way to offer their clients an experience they would choose to repeat and refer to friends and family. That's what it's all about, in my opinion. I've referred Cooper Design Builders to many people over the years because they strive to exceed the expectations of their clients, which does not disappoint.

Cooper Design Builders has done fantastic work for my family. From concept to completion Lane and team provided us a better experience than we thought possible. Much of the home building experience is finding a builder who not only listens, but can truly contribute. Lanes background is as an Architect from UofO – this served us well. Not only was code satisfied, but the end result perfectly balanced form & function. Our life is better because of the work they do – truly OUR home. I've spent 20 years in the Design industry – part of which has been architecture/retail design. I couldn't be more happy with Cooper Design Builders work. I highly recommend Lane Cooper!

I hired Cooper Design Builders for a complete kitchen, main bath and powder bathroom remodel. I chose Cooper Design based on their reputation for quality, on-time and on-budget work. What can I say: I am so happy with my kitchen and bathrooms! I was highly impressed by my project manager who was incredibly knowledgable, respectful and always reachable to discuss issues. Cooper Designs also has a great network of quality subcontractors that insures that the project kept flowing smoothly. I recommend Cooper Design for your projects big and small.

Very professional energetic company with highly knowledgeable and caring individuals. Experts in design and detail. Superior in project management completing the construction on schedule. Original designs and creativity sold us on the remodel. Meeting the budget and timeframe was validation of the quality of work to expect from Cooer Design Builders! We we thrilled that Cooper Design Builders won the Remodeling Excellence Award for our home in 2006. (Major remodel $1,000,000 and above)

Cooper Design Builders provides many services for my home, ranging from remodeling to home maintenance. Their work is always top-quality and professionally delivered.

Lane Cooper has placed the Design Build bar on the highest rung. His team of professionals has devoted their lives to crafting the process for designing and building some of the finest homes in the Pacific Northwest.

We hired Cooper Design Builders to completely renovate the main level of our new home. Our house was built in 1952 and was a cottage style layout. With their design expertise, we created a beautiful open floor plan with lofted ceilings and plenty of space for entertaining. We wake up every day saying how much we love our home. Cooper Design was excellent at communicating project details and helping us navigate through a process we were unfamiliar with. They made sure to keep as close to their expected project timeline and made sure every part of the job was done with quality and craftsmanship. It was great working with Cooper Design Builders and we would highly recommend them to anyone.

We had a total house remodel done in 2010 by Cooper Design Builders. It took 7 months. Cooper Design Builders did an outstanding job. They provided us with a complete breakdown of the work to be done, stayed within budget, used as high of quality of materials as we could afford, used wonderful subcontractors who had the same high standards of caring and workmanship. We always felt they had our best interests at heart and we could always get in touch with them if there was a question. We were and are extremely pleased with the job they did and know from experience that they guarantee their projects. We had minor water damage in our kitchen from a manufacturer's defect in an appliance and they not only came right out to fix the floor (which ended up meaning replacing almost 2000 square feet of hardwood floor) but they fought with the insurance company to get it done right. We would use or recommend Cooper Design Builders again in a heart beat.

We cannot speak highly enough of the entire Cooper Design/Build Team. They took our cramped 1,100 sq. ft. house and turned it into a 3,200 gracious, and live able home. The workmanship exceeded our happiest expectations, and the exterior design blended in beautifully with the Alameda neighborhood. During the project, they kept in contact with the surrounding homes and were extremely courteous and responsive to any questions. In addition, the project came in just a bit under budget and exactly on time. My husband and I are completely delighted!

Our experience with Cooper Design Builders was amazing! There was clear communication through the entire process. The people at Cooper listened to our wants and needs and found ways to meet/exceed them in the design and build. They made the process from start to finish very transparent. The project was on budget and on time. We now have our dream home. We would recommend Cooper Design to any one.

Cooper Design Builders completed a beautiful and timely remodel of our home in 2012. We couldn't be more pleased with the results. The Cooper Design Builders team is professional and respectful and they have fantastic relationships with their top quality Sub-contractors. Thanks for helping us create the house of our dreams.
