I am a electrical contractor that has worked with Life Design for the last 3 years! I can tell you first hand that the team has been a pleasure to work with. From superior communication to execution on complicated installations, Tyson and his team do not compromise on customer service or quality! Doesn't matter if it is a homeowner unfamiliar with the building process or a sub contractor like myself, they always stay committed to the bottom line. A quality job and a happy customer! Thanks Life Design for making the process enjoyable!

What a treat it has been to work with Tyson and Life Design Build! We had a complete kitchen remodel after an unexpected visit from termites. Tyson helped us rethink our entire space and brought our house from 1980 to 2025!! He showed up with enthusiasm for the project and was consistently professional yet personable. He really listened to what we wanted and was willing to go back to the drawing board with us until we were happy with the design. Tyson is so great to work with. I would 10/10 recommend Life Design Build to help with any home renovation project.

Tyson was the perfect person to work with for our kitchen remodel. He’s so easy to communicate with. I felt very comfortable trusting his knowledge and ideas… the results are fantastic! We are so please with the entire process. It was our first time using professional to help with a big home project and we couldn’t be happier!

David Sullivan

Tyson and co. did a wonderful job working with us to help shape our initial remodel and addition vision into a highly functional and beautiful design and subsequently built the space that we will be able to enjoy for many years. The Life Design team is professional, responsive, open and easy to work with. Highly recommend.

Working with Life Design has been great! Tyson has very good ideas and is a good listener to my thoughts and ideas. He's got classic knowledge, skills, and fresh ideas. He's been a thoughtful help with cost controls, which have been important as this is our down-sized, retirement home. I like the way he works with the construction team too.
