"If you are looking for a seamless build/rebuild/remodel, then we highly and wholeheartedly recommend LCG Construction.

 Larry Gray is a talented, honest and professional contractor.   He has many years of experience in the field as do his excellent subcontractors.

 Larry worked with our architect  and designer, and the three of them made what can only be described as a “Dream Team” - no arguments, no egos, just a smooth and efficient rebuild of our house after  the Woolsey fire. 

Larry also worked hand-in-hand with our insurance company. He is an excellent communicator with a good aesthetic and financial common sense. We always knew where we stood within the budget.  More importantly, Larry worked well with the Malibu building department and our architect so that any changes to the plan were quickly addressed so that no permit issues slowed construction. Our rebuild was completed on time and on budget! 

Larry Gray went above and beyond our expectations in rebuilding our home and we could not be more pleased."

“We worked with Larry for building a 1,000 square foot addition to our home in Malibu.  He was involved in every aspect of our project starting from the architectural drawings.  His advice resulted in a few changes to the architect's plan which made the plans more practical and saved us money.  With the architects, he navigated the permit approval process successfully with the City of Malibu where he is a very respected contractor.  We did not use an expeditor; Larry's knowledge of the building department's requirements made the approval process easy with only minimal clarifications which we were able to submit expeditiously.  The construction process went smoothly all the time with us living in the property.  Larry's team was easy to work with, and they kept the construction site clean and accessible to us at all times.  At the end of the construction, the few items on our punch list were handled thoroughly and promptly.  At every stage in the process, Larry communicated regularly and was always available for questions whenever we had them.

We know that anyone deciding to have Larry rebuild their house will enjoy working with him and will be happy with the results.”

— Tony Greenberg

“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Larry on several projects. As a residential designer who has a vision for my clients’ homes, he is the best possible contractor to work with. He aligns himself to the project, makes detailed lists in advance of anything he sees as problematic in the future so things can be addressed in an efficient way, and maintains fluid communication throughout the build. He works professionally and quickly, as our first project together was the first Certificate of Occupancy issued in Malibu after the Woolsey Fire. I would happily work with him again to build just about anything!”

— Laura Hanson Design

“Larry Gray is the fantasy contractor—he brings so many positive qualities to his work and I truthfully cannot identify any negatives. He is very proactive, he plans the construction work carefully, precisely, and thoroughly. Larry’s schedule was always realistic and on time. His commitment to undertaking a smooth, high quality project was very impressive as were the final results. “
