He was able to bring our vision to life and was willing to take the time to make sure we were completely satisfied. He was very patient and accommodating with our everchanging needs throughout the project. He was so organized in the process of working on all our bathrooms within a few weeks. He works well with contractors and gets his hands dirty too. We highly recommend working with him on any design needs, from small to large scale home or commercial projects. He'll be back to do more with us soon!

I selected Seed Design+Build for a 2020-21 top-to-bottom renovation of my Silver Lake home and this…read morecompany did a great job. Seed and its owner Reeve Schley, receive my highest recommendation. Seed did earthquake reinforcements to the foundation, wall & ceiling insulation, new electric, plumbing, HVAC, lighting, new solid hardwood floor, exterior finishes, windows, new roof and exterior hardscape, and finished the garage (now an office/workshop). Seed constructed gorgeous custom built-in wood interior casework (shelves, closets, floor and ceiling moldings) in every room. Seed redid the bathrooms (stone and tile flooring, shower/bath tile, custom vanities, shower enclosure, plumbing, fixtures) and a down-to-the studs all-new kitchen (stone floor, tile walls, gorgeous custom built-in wood cabinetry, plumbing, lighting, appliances). Seed constructed a highly-engineered new deck: poured concrete footings, installed structural beams, decking, and steel frame for a vendor's drop-in electric louvers (a movable patio roof). Seed did an excellent job on all of these trades and I am extraordinarily happy with the high-quality and superb craftsmanship of the work. Seed brought highly-skilled employees and a wide array of sub-contractors to my job, who all did excellent work. Seed's owner Reeve Schley attended my weekly construction project meetings, is refreshingly straight-forward; he did what he said he would do, when he said he'd do it. Reeve collaborated well with my architect, engineer, and louver vendor. My project started three weeks before Corona Virus shut down the country, and Reeve dealt with never-imagined problems, (LACity COVID worksite rules, huge supply chain disruptions [windows and tile delivered 3-6 months late], worksite parking and neighborhood noise constraints, etc.) with professionalism all while retaining his team's focus on delivering high-quality construction work. In summary, my rating of "Great" is an understatement. If you are considering Seed for your project, ask Reeve for my phone number.

My project began with a dream of building a cozy outdoor kitchen in our backyard. They did it all -- from the block wall construction to the stone masonry. Their team transformed my idea into a stunning reality. Weather permitting, we enjoy it during breakfast outside every day. Since then, I've used them on various construction projects I've been involved with -- doing everything from siding to floor installation to concrete work. Prices are reasonable, I can rely on them (which is more than one could say about most people), and they just have a personal touch that gives me peace of mind when I have work to do that could otherwise take over all my thoughts. This review was long overdue, but I felt I had to after the last project I just used them for completed. Hopefully it's helpful to someone else.

It pains me to write a negative review, but I think it's important that my personal experience be…read moreshared so that others may avoid the problems I encountered working with this provider. Let me begin by saying that Ruben is "not the sharpest tool in the shed." Unfortunately, this leads to his inability to grasp the workings of a legally binding contract. As such, he is often incapable of abiding by the stipulations of a basic contract; not out of malice, but out of sheer dull-wittedness. Ruben also struggles to understand rudimentary requests. This may lead to having to tell him the same thing several times until he finally, finally, finally "gets it"! Naturally, this can be extremely frustrating for a client. Ruben's fragile ego often gets in the way of working collaboratively with clients. He initially says he is open to client's direction, but when he doesn't like a client's idea, he may threaten to quit the project, despite initially agreeing to stay the course. Although a licensed architect, Ruben's design skills are mediocre. For those inexperienced to good design, Ruben's services may suffice. Ruben may initially present as kind, humble and un-materialistic. But later, client's may discover that Ruben prioritizes his personal financial gain over goodwill, collaboration, and integrity. If you've read this far, it's probably quite clear that I do not recommend hiring Ruben as your architect.

While the work ended up taking longer than I had anticipated, a portion of this was the result of the inevitable project creep as more ideas occurred to me. David gave me knowledgeable feedback on what would or would not work well and factored in my concerns at each step. The crews were polite and performed high quality work.
