On 18 January Laurence Associates won a ‘Best Of Design’ 2017 Award on Houzz!

The Best Of Houzz is awarded annually in three categories: Design, Customer Service and Photography. Design award winners’ work was the most popular among the more than 40 million monthly users that comprise the Houzz community.

A ‘Best Of Houzz 2017’ badge appears on winners’ profiles as a sign of their commitment to excellence, and help homeowners identify popular and top-rated home professionals in different locations on Houzz; a leading platform for home renovation and design.

We’re so pleased to award Best of Houzz 2017 to this incredible group of talented and customer-focused professionals, including Laurence Associates,” said Andrew Small, MD of Houzz UK and Ireland.

Each of these businesses was singled out for recognition by our community of homeowners and design enthusiasts for helping to turn their home improvement dreams into reality.

The team at Laurence Associates are thrilled to receive this recognition and would like to thank the Houzz community who voted for our projects.
