Who We Are and What We Do

"We shape our homes, and then our homes shape us."  -Winston Churchill 
Who We Are

Picture
Brandon Dartez- the builder
"Born and raised in Southern Louisiana has built a desire in me to make an impact in my local communities.  I want to put money back into our local businesses and restore our area by building beautiful homes that fit right into our culture.  Being an avid outdoorsman who likes to hunt and fish, I understand the importance of a home that provides a place for stories to be told and entertainment to be enjoyed. With my beautiful wife, Lauren, by my side we make a team that is truly desirable and needed in the home building industry. Together we are making our mark and impact on the industry and communities around the area."

Lauren Dartez- the designer
​
"I am an artist and a servant at heart.  After teaching math, art, and theater in the public school system for nearly a decade, I decided to work with my husband to fulfill this passion of ours.  I find that I have always approached art from a very practical perspective (probably the math teacher in me).  That creative ability allows me to design homes that are not only unique and luxurious, but functional.  I always say, design fails if it's not functional.  My attention to detail and ability to guide someone to what they are wanting is my true gift to Laurel Homes.  If your home doesn't WORK for you and your family on a daily basis, if it doesn't make life feel easier, and if it isn't functional for your child's birthday parties, it won't matter how pretty it is.  I want you showing off the kitchen AND the closet spaces."

The picture on the right is not the professional one you expect to see on a business website, we know (changed out periodically).  If you want to know who we are though, this is it.  We're a fun, loud, music loving family, raising two beautiful, independent, and strong minded young women.  We live our lives for each other and value family above all else.    
Picture
 We live in our forever home and value it dearly. 
We cherish the memories we create in it, appreciate the functionality it provides for us daily, and are proud of its style and luxury.  

     We want that for you.  In fact, that is why we chose to start Laurel Homes.  We believe that everyone should have that safe place to come home to, that place that WORKS for you and your family, that place you are proud to entertain in.  Whether it's 1000 sqft or 5000 sqft, you deserve your forever home.

What We Do

Picture
     We are a husband and wife, contractor and designer team.  That means that every angle and perspective is thought of, from the studs in the walls to the hardware on the cabinets.  Together, we are a power team and create masterpieces neither of us could have done alone. 

     -We can build on your land or you can choose one of our spec homes. 

     -We can build your home plans, design your plans from scratch, or modify pre existing plans.  

     -We will determine your style (or the mashup of style between you and your spouse) and use that knowledge to
     help you design your dream home.  We can come up with the entire design for you, give you options to help
     narrow things down, or you can take the reigns and shop yourself.  Whichever option suits you!  
​
     -We will work one-on-one with you every step of the way
