I hired Larry, Lake Stevens Design, to design a few shops for my clients to submit for permitting. A very simple task as the shops are all detached. I would not recommend Larry to do any design or permitting work period. He screwed up all the projects designs, he doesnt listen to what you want him to draw up rather he dictates what he thinks is best. He is very argumentative and carelessly pays attention to information correspondences. He made many frequent mistakes and argued with the building dept and engineers on many occasions. He has screwed up two of the permit applications to where we feel we will have to start all over completely loosing money paid out as well as time. One client demanded a refund for engineering expediting and re-engineering as he screwed up the design over designing, he refused to refund leaving us no choice but to start a complaint against him and his company.
Look up his past business, he has several UN-resolved complaints and his design business is right there as well.
I would not even rate him or his services. He was a hack builder as well as a hack designer, you will have nothing but troubles, he failed 3 out of 3 projects I had him design. read more
