For those who may be discovering Reed Design Build for the first time, can you share a little about your family’s story and how the company began?
Reed Design Build was founded on a passion for craftsmanship, integrity, and treating clients like family. What started as a hands-on construction business has grown into a full-service design-build firm, with multiple generations now involved. Over the years, we’ve stayed rooted in the same core values— Respect, Integrity, and Customer Focus while building lasting relationships with the homeowners we serve.
You’ve been serving Southwest Florida homeowners for decades—what inspired your move to Florida, and how has the Naples community shaped your business?
Southwest Florida offered an incredible opportunity to bring our expertise to a growing community that values quality and thoughtful design. Naples, in particular, has shaped our business by setting a high standard—homeowners here truly care about craftsmanship, functionality, and beautiful spaces. Many of our clients are from all over the United States, and for most, this is their second, third, or even fourth home in Southwest Florida. They often know exactly what they want in both design and the company they choose to bring their vision to life. This has pushed us to continuously elevate our work and deliver results that meet the high expectations of a discerning clientele, perfectly aligned with the lifestyle and tastes of the area.
Reed Design Build is known as a ‘design-build’ firm—can you explain what that means for homeowners and how it makes the remodeling process easier?
Design-build means everything is handled under one roof—from the initial concept and design to construction and final details. Instead of juggling multiple companies, our clients work with one cohesive team the entire time. This streamlines communication, reduces delays, and creates a more seamless, stress-free experience overall. It also allows us to be more efficient with timelines and budgets because everyone is working together from day one.
From kitchens to full home renovations, you offer a wide range of services. What types of projects do you specialize in most, and what do clients typically come to you for?
We specialize in full-home renovations, kitchen and bathroom remodels, and large-scale transformations that completely reimagine a space. Many of our clients come to us when they’re ready for more than just a surface update—they want a cohesive design, improved functionality, and a home that truly fits their lifestyle.
As a family-run business with multiple generations involved, how does that dynamic influence the experience you provide to your clients?
Being a family-run business really shapes how we approach everything. There’s a strong sense of pride and accountability in our work, and we treat every project as if it were for our own home. It also creates a more personal experience for our clients—you’re not just another job to us. You’re working with a team that genuinely cares about the outcome and your experience along the way.
Walk us through what a typical remodeling journey looks like with your team, from that first consultation to the final reveal.
It starts with an initial consultation where we get to know the client, their space, and their goals. From there, our design team develops a plan tailored to their vision and budget. Once the design is finalized, our construction team brings it to life with careful attention to detail and consistent communication throughout the process. We guide our clients every step of the way, leading up to the final reveal—where everything comes together and they get to enjoy their newly transformed space.
You have a dedicated design center and showroom, how does that help homeowners make decisions and bring their vision to life?
Our design center offers clients a hands-on experience for selecting finishes, materials, and fixtures, allowing them to see and feel the options in person rather than just imagining them. This makes the decision-making process not only more efficient but also more enjoyable. All selections can be made in one place with the expert guidance of our design team. And if there’s something specific our clients have in mind that we don’t carry in the showroom, we’re always happy to go into the community with them to help find exactly what they’re looking for, ensuring their vision is fully realized.
What sets Reed Design Build apart from other remodeling companies in the Naples area, especially when it comes to quality and client experience?

For families considering a remodel, especially those juggling busy schedules, what advice would you give to help make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible?
The biggest thing is to partner with a team you trust and to plan ahead as much as possible. Having a clear vision, realistic expectations, and a structured process in place makes all the difference. Working with a design-build firm also simplifies things significantly, since everything is managed in one place. And most importantly, communication is key. Staying aligned throughout the project helps avoid surprises and keeps everything running smoothly.
If someone is looking to get started with Reed Design Build, where is the best place to start?
