About Lakeview Design & Construction

Remodeling Specialists since 1985

Lakeview Design & Construction, Inc. was started in 1985 as Seattle Solarium by Bob Dorres and Rollin Francisco. Both have degrees in architecture from The University of Washington and extensive background in energy conservation solar greenhouses, and specialty glazing. However, this developed a real passion for the whole process of remodeling from design through completion. In 2005, Rollin Francisco left Lakeview Design & Construction to pursue other interests. Bob Dorres is now joined by his son, Daniel, who has worked for Lakeview Design & Construction in various capacities since high school and is now a project manager.
