What Do Clients Say About Working With Dean Larkin Design?

We love our clients! Our goal is to design homes that fit their personal needs and lifestyles, and that provide many “wows” along the way. Here’s what a few of them have said about working with us.

Dolly B.

Dean Larkin and his team were excellent and a pleasure to work with. Dean’s knowledge and expertise was so helpful to me, since this was my first experience doing a house renovation, which took a year to complete. He spent whatever time necessary to explain everything to my understanding and was always available if not immediately, returning my call promptly. He referred a contractor, which was a perfect match for me. He was interested in listening to my ideas and guiding me in the right direction. He is honest and it is obvious he truly loves what he does, in addition to being so talented and creative.

Marijke M.

We loved working with Dean and Liceth on our 1,600 sq ft condo in Century City CA. Where the layout looked limited for change, Dean came up with an amazing solution to give us more closet space and a more open feel to the primary bathroom and the rest of the condo. A change from an Eighties design into today’s style and age. We can highly recommend DLD, they are a pleasure to work with.

Darlene P.

Dean and his team provided expert services when we purchased a 50 year old, 5000 s.f. commercial space that needed serious updating. The only original parts we kept were three walls and the concrete floor. Dean spent a lot of time with us and took the time to understand our business, our clients, and our vision for the building. He created a space that we are proud to call home. We followed his recommendations down to the colors, furniture choices and even placement of the furniture. Our clients think our space is beautiful and feel comfortable immediately. This is what we desired and Dean Larkin Design did an amazing job. Three years later and we are still loving everything about our space.
