TLC Design/Build LLC

I would like to highly recommend the TLC Design/Build LLC for any project that you might have. Les does an outstanding job visualizing what you tell him that you want. He then can show you how it will look on a computer screen and change anything that needs changing. Several things drew me to Les: Firstly, He has an outstanding reputation in Lee County for all the work he has done over the years. Secondly is his attention to detail. I think his attention to detail is what separates him from his competition. He can do it all from new house construction to old house remodeling to just a kitchen or just a bathroom or just an addition. So, if you want the best, give Les a call.

Les Letlow is one of those rare contractors who keeps his word and conducts business with the highest degree of integrity. In addition to Les, the TLC employees that we worked with including Steve, Mike, Steven, and Dan were all very professional, highly skilled, and trustworthy people. The subcontractors that Les employs were very impressive, customer service-oriented people. You might find someone to do your renovation project cheaper, but cheaper is probably what you will get. After all, this is your home and most likely your greatest financial asset, so I suggest you call Les to get it done right.

Top of the line craftsmanship and design planning - we have enjoyed our remodeled home so much. TLC was a joy to work with!

Highly recommend TLC Design to anyone who needs a home built or a remodel! Les and his crew have built two homes for me and family over years ! Also just finished remodeling our kitchen! My wife and I have been very satisfied with the beautiful results of the kitchen! Les and his crew are very dependable and articulate with their work! If you need a house or remodel you cannot go wrong using this company !

Les Letlow and his staff did an excellent job. His on-staff craftsmen and sub-contractors were professional, delivered what they promised and always responded to our needs in a timely manner. We would use the TLC firm again without hesitation.

Being new to the area, we received a recommendation for a contractor to renovate our home. Les Letlow at TLC Design/Build was that contractor. He exceeded our expectations in every way. All of his employees and sub contractors were very professional and did beautiful work. We are beyond happy with the completed project and highly recommend TLC Design/Build.

We had heard through word of mouth about the quality work done by Les Letlow and his Design Company. We decided to contact him for an interview concerning our need for converting one of our Bedrooms into a walk-in closet. Our desire was for something more than that which we could complete ourselves. Upon visiting with Les and observing some of his previous designs and works it became apparent that he knew his business well. We moved forward with his company. Les was patient and professional with us as we worked through the project. We did experience some inevitable delays because our work was done in and around the COVID-19 pandemic. This was obviously of no fault of Les and his company. When the project was completed we could not have been more pleased and excited with the product. The room now adds much needed first class hanging space, drawer space and a mid-room island to handle all our wardrobe needs. We would highly recommend Les Letlow and TLC Design, and we would be most pleased to work with him again should the need arise.

excellent builder with superb vision. well constructed and stands behind his work. the addition appears to be a part of the house and not an afterthought(ie flows well)

Wonderful experience with this build. Less does quality work, very cooperative, with skilled dependable people. Highly recommend this company. Great results.

This was my first renovation and I learned so much that will help me the next time. Using the Co-Construct made things work very smoothly and I was able to get responses quickly.

TLC changed our house into a home. Not only did they do the work, they also provided guidance from the design phase to the budgetary phase all the way to completion. We are more than pleased with the results and would recommend them to anyone thinking of either a large scale renovation or construction project.

It has been such a pleasure to work with Mr. Letlow! Mr. Letlow has been not only professional, very knowledgeable and an incredible designer/builder, but has listened to my ideas, has worked with me to create a home that is more beautiful than I ever imagined it could be. He has been honest, respectful and kind to me throughout the time we have worked together. I felt cared about, respected and valued and felt he gave my humble home as much care and thought as he would a much larger project. I have been amazed at Mr. Letlow's ability to not only solve project issues that came up but also to imagine and design such beautiful solutions. Mr. Letlow has worked to honor time lines and budgets throughout my project. I feel that I have benefited in working with Mr. Letlow as much as my home has. Thank you Les Letlow for doing such a fabulous job on my home! Leslie C. Gaultney.

We suffered serious storm damage and with one call to Les, our worries were lifted and our home restored. The urgent action of his team to secure our home limited the extent of the damage, and the repairs/restoration started within just a coupe of days. At conclusion, our home looked exactly as it did pre storm and that was exactly what we wanted. Thank you Les and the TLC Team

We worked well together by presenting our ideas which resulted in professionally developed plans and drawings. Work was started on time and completed on schedule. The crews are professional reliable and true craftsmen. The flexibility of TLC was appreciated as we made many changes which were handled easily and the end result is a transformed beautiful country home with the feeling of a sophisticated lodge. We highly recommend TLC for any projects being considered. Kimberley and Alan Nitchman

After talking with Les, we chose TLC Design/Build to add an Isokern fireplace in our lakehouse family room and to customize the exterior of the house. It was helpful and fun to see pictures of our planned changes on TLC’s 3D design software in advance of the work. From the planning phase through the punch list, Les and was responsive to all of our calls, texts, and emails. He selected talented artisans to craft our copper chimney cap, and to install our cedar ceilings, corbels and shutters. We found that all work was done by those with integrity. Our experience with TLC was so good and we are very happy with all of the work they did for us.

We purchased a 1950s brick ranch that needed renovation and re-design. Based on recommendations, we decided to use Les Letlow—- His drawings for an updated design were excellent. A very clear vision and we were able to stay within budget. The renovations were clean and added a great value to our end result. We are so pleased with our new home!!!!

I worked with Les and his team in a design/build capacity on a mall facade renovation project. They were all very patient, respectful and knowledgeable about their craft. I have called on Les several times on other projects and I look forward to working with him and his team in the future to accomplish many more successful projects! They were a pleasure to work with!

I had The Letlow Company design and remodel my master bath and closet. They did a marvelous job and came in on budget. Iwould use them again and highly recommend them for design/build construction work.

This was our first experience with a major remodel of our home. We were extremely pleased with our selection of The Letlow Co. to do the job. From the initial concept drawings to the final finishing touches...Everything was handled with extreme professionalism and attention to detail. Les and his crew are a wonderful group to work with!

TLC Design/Build is in the midst of a third project for me. The first was an award winning full kitchen remodel that took me from a small dark galley kitchen to a wide open gathering space. They recently finished a beautiful master bath, and is currently doing a complete exterior makeover. Les Letlow's work is very high quality, and when you are told something will be done, it is done. Everyone who works with the company, from painters to sheet rock guys to cabinet makers, to his own supervisors are the best! For unique design concepts executed with outstanding quality, and good people to work with, I highly recommend TLC Design/Build.

This is s great company! My most recent project was a update/remodeling of my kitchen. I contact Mr. Letlow, made appointment to meet with him to share ideas on what I wanted. Mr. Letlow showed up with cabinet samples, computer and his ideas for my kitchen. He had thought of everything, lighting, appliances, etc. Suggestions on what appliances, light fixtures that would highlight the kitchen. I already had a few ideas of my own, which he implemented into the plans. To make a long story short, the kitchen was completed in record time, under my budget and the nicest people (workman) you want in your home. Mr. Letlow stands behind his work; you want quality work, beautiful results - he is your man. I now have a beautiful, updated kitchen that I'm proud of and love to show off.

I was very pleased with all the services! Letlow Construction went above and beyond to do a complete remodel of my house! Everyone was professional and friendly and completed the job in a timely manner! I highly recommend their services to everyone!

Incredible contractor. Could not have asked for more professionalism. Everything was top notch. Even the slightest details were taken care of and managed with the greatest care. Would use him again.....and again.....and again.

Les is an unbelievable worker. He built a handicap accessible home for my husband and I and did a spectacular job! This is our forever home. Les has also followed up with us several times to make sure we were satisfied.

The Letlow Company did an outstanding job in renovating our small ranch home built in 1963. A two car garage was added and the original carport enclosed.. The exterior maintained the apppearance of the era but the interior was restructured. A bedroom and two very small baths were converted into a large walk in closet and spacious master bath. The previous carport was remodeled to house a study, guest bath, and walk in closet. Vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors matched to existing adjacent floors, and exquisite cabinets completed the update. We are very pleased.

Les did an outstanding job of designing and then executing on the work to complete my remodel. He was sensitive to my need to stay within my budget and managed to be ~10% below my target. His subcontractors were courteous and professional. In addition, Les responded quickly to any of my inquiries and was always looking for ways to help me improve my remodeling job.

Our dreams for a "forever" home have been realized... Having been an interior designer for over 30 years, of course I had many ideas about a renovation for our existing home. Our main request was that additions appear to be part of the original construction. When we met with the Letlow Co., Les Letlow assured us that this could be accomplished. After several meetings, construction finally began. We found the entire crew of the Letlow Co. to be competent, creative, and above all courteous. After months of working with them, it actually felt as if they were family, and we keep in touch frequently. The renovation itself is spectacular, and I am not one to use superlatives. It is even better than we expected. Our dreams for a "forever" home have been realized, and we look forward to many happy years in a home that suits out needs. Thank you, Letlow Co. -Emily and Mel Smyth

Great Job! Thank you Les for handling any situation or problem with a calm & professional manner. Everything turned out perfect! Highly recommend this company!!

The Letlow Co. has a great reputation and now by experience , I know why.I This company was on time and within the estimated budget. Les Letlow designed our project.He was on the job,cooperative to work with and I would definitely recommend him to anyone as a professional in the construction business.

Les Letlow took our ideals for the bathroom remodel and developed a design that exceeded both mine and my wife's vision. The project took longer than expected because of some unforeseen subcontractor issues, but once finished we couldn't be happier with the results.

The Letlow Company recently completed a redesign of our master suite, dining room, kitchen, powder room, pantry, and laundry room. Pre-planning and pre-ordering supplies were the keys to a timely completion of the project. The assistance of his site coordinator and designer were also important in ensuring the outcome. The results are beautiful and will be enjoyed by our family for years to come.

We had a 3rd or 4th project completed by the Letlow Company. This last project was a custom bathroom for my wife. The quality of work exceeded our expectations and the project came in way under budget. His staff are friendly and skilled craftman. Its a big relief knowing that any project will be done right the first time and will be quality.

Les Letlow recently built a screened-in porch for me on an existing rock patio. He provided a drawing in advance so that I had a good concept of the finished product. Some constraints were encountered with building restrictions near property lines but he handled all the discussions with the City planners and offered alternate options from our original plans. Everything was handled professionally, efficiently and the quality was excellent. Les offered suggestions along the way and I am extremely pleased with the results. I would definitely recommend him to others.

The day I needed a contractor it was not difficult to deside, the first one that came to mind was the Letlow Company. Les was there within the hour upon my request, He help me understand the process of not only the contracting end of the business but also walked me thruough the insurance. The job went as very smooth, it being my first experence. Les was very responsive on my every request, had a plan and walked me thruough each step in the process. The end results was better than I expected. Les on some ocations he personally came over and rolled up his sleeves and jumped right in to get the job done!

The Letlow Company has provided us with multiple services in addition to building our home. The work has always been of exceptional quality and the company is very dependable and the rates always fair. Mr. Letlow follows up on work provided by any subcontractors. I would recommend this company strongly.

In the latter part of 2011 we decided to do some major renovations to our home. After extensive searching, we decided to use the services of The Letlow Company. The whole idea of "gutting" our home and remodeling our kitchen, guest bath, master bedroom, and master bath along with other renovations was totally overwhelming to us. Les spent many hours with us walking through our home and discussing many ideas and designs. Once the decision was made, Les made the process smooth and easy. His recommendations for local professionals for flooring, counter tops, cabinets, lighting, and etc were great. They were just as helpful and professional as Les. The work begin on October 1, 2012. We turned our entire home over to Les and his professional team. That was nerve-racking to us because of the enormity of the project. While we had grown to trust Les we were still not sure of what to expect. Well, It went great. The attention to detail and professionalism from Les and the entire team was remarkable. Les kept us informed every step of the way to what they were doing, how long it would take, and any issues that came up and how they would be handled. Thanks to Les' vision and attention to detail, the final results exceeded our expectations. The Letlow Company is a one-of-a-kind company committed to the highest quality work, professional business practices, and outstanding customer service. We love our new home and would not change a thing. The Letlow Company is the "best of the best".

I have worked with The Letlow Company on the complete renovation of a historic building, new construction, and general renovation projects. Mr. Letlow is creative and budget minded with great attention to detail. He is also a good listener and strives to complete his projects with excellence. I have also found his estimates to be thorough and accurate. I have found his site managers and staff to be very capable, eager to please, and respectful. I highly recommend The Letlow Company.

Les built our house about 9 years ago. Recently we noticed the rubber insulation between the panes of our transoms, was buckling. I had no idea whom to call so called Les. He responded promptly and furnished old invoices and names of companies he had gotten building materials from which was very helpful. I'm so glad he is still in business and willing to help out an old client!

Working with Les Letlow and his crew on our renovation project has been a great experience. We needed to replace our deck. With his guidance and expertise, we no longer have a deck; we have an outdoor living space. Unlike so many other contractors, Les and his crew stay in touch and let us know when work will begin and then complete it in a timely manner. Les has been upfront about the project cost, and consequently, there have been no billing surprises. Les knows the building construction and design trade, and that knowledge is demonstrated in the quality of the work he and his crew perform. I would highly recommend Les for any home renovation projects.

Remodel the exterior of a residential property: work was completed within budget and only slightly beyond the projected completion date. Letlow provided helpful advice with formulating the design plan for this renovation. Company workers and 3rd party vendors were respectful of the residents and turned over a clean work site.

We have been living for over 16 years in our home built by The Letlow Company and have been completely satisfied with the quality of the construction and satisfied with the interior finishings designed to stay within our particular budget. Les Letlow is a very personable, professional builder; very easy and agreeable to work with. His open, warm personality made the inevitable stress of building a new home easier to deal with. I highly recommend Les and the Letlow Company.

Les Letlow, with the Letlow Company, has completed several building projects for us over the past 28 years. He added a sunroom and remodeled the kitchen of our first home in 1986. Our expectations were met with great success and when we decided to build a new home in 1990, Les was obvious choice for our builder. He worked beautifullly with our architect and was always attentive to our concerns and our ideas. When we made an addition and remodel to that home a few years ago, again Les was our choice to complete the work. Les keeps currents with design trends, new innovations and materials, and is always a pleasure to work with. He has great vision for design, colors, and weaving the ideas and desires of the homeowner into a new home or a remodel project. Les expects superior workmanship from all of his employees as well as from the subcontractors who work with any project he undertakes. We recommend Les Letlow and the Letlow Company for any building or remodling project a homeowner or business may be considering.

March 31, 2012 lightning stuck our house and started a fire that caused $300,000.00 worth of damage. With help from The Letlow Co. our house is now like new and we are so thankful to have hired this company. Les Letlow along with his staff of craftsmen are very professional people that build to very high standards. If you are looking for quality, The Letlow Company is your builder!

Mr. Letlow rebuilt our house in 2012 after tornado damage. He was very professional in all respects from planning, framing, and the completion of finish work. He and his workers were on time and paid attention to details. His computer system was compatible with the insurance company's, and he was instrumental in working with the insurance adjusters to achieve the goal of rebuilding our home. He kept us informed throughout the process and made suggestions which enhanced our home. Mr. Letlow will be my building contractor for any future remodeling or construction.

Les Letlow came highly recommended to us as one of the best builders in the area in year 2000. Over the past 13 years he built our original house, remodeled my mother's apartment and finished off our basement . He is a professional in every sense of the word. He stands behind what he does and corrects what needs to be corrected. I look at Les as not only a highly qualified builder and remodeler but a person with architectural abilities who can put on paper what one envisions. Over the years he has become a friend who I can call on whether it was a building problem which surfaced from years gone by or one who recommends other contractors I can depend upon when needed.

The Letlow Company's direct employees and subs were always courtious and on time which is not common in this industry (at least the on time portion). Les has a unique gift to be able to see design solutions and effectively communicate them to the homeowner. He is very thorough and documents things well. He was on time and on budget. When we had descrepencies, Les was fair and willing to work with us to resolve the issues. I would highly recommend his services and would use him again if we had additional home improvement or new home construction needs.

Les was always accomodate and prompt with all of our questions and needs. Very timely in completion of project and estimate was spot on!

We needed to find a contractor for a significant addition to our home which also included replacing all of the doors and windows in the house as well as replacing the outside siding with stacked stone and vinyl shingles. We solicited estimates from several contractors and Les stood out immediately. The other contractors walked around the house, took a few measurements and provided a high level estimate for the job. Les asked a lot of questions, took a lot of measurements and provided a very detailed estimate along with a not to exceed price. While his estimate was a bit higher, we had much greater confidence in it because it was so detailed and we knew we wouldn't run into any surprises. Another valuable skill Les brought to the table was design. We completely changed the elevation of the house and Les was able to offer several options and provided beautiful drawings of each option to help us decide We hired Les and he did an AMAZING job. He totally transformed our house using contractors who did quality work. Les managed the project and handled all issues quickly and to our satisfaction. He demands quality work and refuses to cut corners resulting in excellent results. He also came in under the not to exceed estimate which made us very happy. Les also stands behind his work. Over a year after the project was completed, we sent him an email on a rainy Sunday morning noting that one of the windows was leaking. Les called within an hour of us sending the email and asked if he could come see the problem right then (it was a 30 minute drive to get to our house). He came out, inspected the problem and had the window replaced within the week. We can't say enough good things about Les as a person or as a quality contractor. We highly recommend The Letlow Company!

Dec. 3, 2012 Dear Les, The new columns and railings look great! We had been planning to replace the columns and add handrails for quite a while but it took us forever to get to it. When I asked my daughter-in-law (who is a realtor) for a recommendation, with a moment's hesitation she recommended you. We are so glad she did. Your promptness was the first good sign, and from the first drawings to the completion of the project everything went smoothly. One other thing that really impressed my husband and me was that you always returned phone calls and emails right away, and I don't have to tell you how rare that is among contractors. Thanks for a job well done!
