SMEDA DESIGN BUILD

Smeda Design Build, LLC, is a small home-building and remodeling business that has been serving families in the Northern Virginia for more than 20 years. Ralph Smeda, General Contractor and CEO, is the son of a doctor of psyhology who followed his dad's footsteps and earned a degree in psychology from a liberal arts college. He approaches each job by establishing clear communications with his clients and prepares them for what to expect during the building and remodeling process. He sometimes jokes that his job is half construction and half marriage counseling. He works with his clients, offering design ideas or working through them with one of several architechts that he has been in business with for years. He has taken on both large and small jobs, from building 10,000-square foot homes in Fairfax County and "popping up" (remodeling) homes in Arlington County to finishing basements, kitchen and bathroom remodling, window replacement, deck-building, drywalling, etc. If he deems a job out of his scope of work, he will be glad to refer you to someone in his strong network. Ralph keeps his business small (5 full-time employees) because he likes the ability to stop by the job sites of all his jobs on a daily basis. He subcontracts when needed. Smeda Design Build employees and all subcontractors are people Ralph has worked with for years and has come to trust.
