Whether it’s a full remodel, custom features, or just taking a room and giving it new life, I focus on creating spaces that work for how you live, while looking incredible. I’m not interested in doing the bare minimum. I want to deliver the best. Me and my team are all about quality—using the right materials, putting in the work, and making sure everything is done right. No shortcuts. No compromises. Just beautiful, lasting results. Lawrence Welch Construction is local, but I bring the kind of high-end standards you’d expect from the best in the world.

"Buyer beware!! Doesn’t give you anything in writing, will change pricing constantly, and when you settle on a final number for final payment of $2,400, he shows up demanding $6,000 dollars and refuses to leave despite your attempts to recall all the conversations and agreement you had. Work not completed and savings gone.RUN!!"

We are a family owned and operated Construction company with 35 years experience. We pride ourselves on quality work and affordable prices. If you have new construction or just doing a little remodel we are the company for you! We doing framing, insulation, Drywall, finishing, shingle roofing, and some fencing.

"Gonzalo Romero was fantastic to work with on our basement drywall project! He responded quickly, maintained excellent communication throughout the entire two-week process, and consistently delivered on his commitments – even finishing a day ahead of schedule. From the initial quote to the final walkthrough, his open communication ensured a smooth and surprise-free experience. The quality of the drywall work, including framing reinforcement, hanging, and finishing on both walls and ceiling, was truly outstanding and exceeded my expectations. They clearly prioritized quality over speed and even left the work area spotless. I highly recommend Gonzalo and will absolutely hire him again for future projects. A true professional!"

Storm Shelters questions, answered by experts

This answer varies based on where you are, but most states require that all homes are greater than 320 square feet. Remember that four walls are not the only requirements—windows, closet space, minimal ceiling heights, and indoor air quality are also factors. Each state and municipality differs, though, and as some don’t consider tiny homes permanent shelters, you’ll need to check to ensure you aren’t violating any local or state laws with your build.

A storm shelter's size depends on the number of people who will use it and the types of storms it provides protection from. Tornadoes typically only last a few minutes, so you don't need to spend very long in the shelter when one passes by. You'll want a tornado shelter that's big enough to provide 5 square feet of space per person.

Hurricanes usually last much longer than tornadoes, so you may find yourself in the shelter for hours, not minutes, if you’re facing one. If you're installing a hurricane shelter, you'll need at least 7 square feet per person.

Complex plumbing is tricky and expensive in an off-the-ground dwelling like this. By considering options like composting toilets, rainwater collection, and gray-water sinks, you save money and help the environment. 

A construction lien results from unpaid services. For instance, if a homeowner hires a contractor to do a large renovation on their home and then fails to pay for the services and materials, the contractor can take out a lien on the property. This lien is a legal claim against the property for the amount of money owed. If the homeowner does not pay their debt, the lien may stay on the title until the homeowner tries to sell and cannot do so until the title is cleared.

Stone houses used to be much more practical, but with the advent of stronger and cheaper materials like concrete, they aren’t seen as much anymore. There are some parts of the world where it makes sense to build with stone, and they are usually next to a stone quarry. Stone is, however, very weather-resistant, which is why many homes near the sea and on mountains are still built with local stone.
