Ed Lloyd runs Elite Design Build — a small company that does all sorts of custom work. Ed used to build custom houses and now does everything from custom kitchens and bathrooms to decks and you name it. Elite Design Build is a family business — so in addition to Ed — several of Ed’s sons were also involved in the hard work of making my garage into the Masterpiece it now is! Last year I had Elite Design Build finish my garage. Yes, finish my garage! Ed worked with me on the design. After we agreed on the design and the price, he set a start date. The work included: — Priming, sanding and painting all of the walls and ceiling of the garage — Building a custom shelving unit from scratch out of Oak — Designing and building a custom shelf to hold my Christmas Tree box — Building a custom box out of wood to to hold my Christmas Tree — Installing a countertop workspace — with overhead cabinetry and one floor mounted cabinet — Designing a custom storage slot beneath the countertop to hold furnace filters — Installing two sheets of Slatwall MX on the garage walls — Installing one Pegboard X2 on the garage wall — Installing one electrical outlet power strip — Installing three under cabinet LED light fixtures — Installing paper towel holder and fire extinguisher mounts — Installing a battery holder — Staining the wooden steps and handrail leading into the house — Installing a wall mount bracket for an Airport Extreme Base Station — Staining and sealing the concrete floor with a special concrete stain — Installing a small refrigerator — Installing a hose reel — Installing a wall mounted shop vac — Designed, built, and installed custom wall mount holders for my folding patio table and patio table umbrella and a bracket to keep the table from opening while on the wall It took a while to get everything completed — but the finished garage looks amazing! I get comments and compliments about it all the time! Some folks like to refer to it as my «Man Cave.» I’ve had people out walking through the neighborhood in warm weather stop and do a double take as they walk by if the garage door is open! Check out the pictures of my garage I’ve uploaded to the business listing. Ed and Elite Design Build also took care of a couple of other issues at my condo that were making me crazy — including installing a grill over the external exhaust port from the bathroom ceiling fan — birds were getting inside the outside duct port, building nests and jamming up the duct work — which was leading to condensation build up in the ductwork, resulting in water build up in the duct, ultimately cascading out of the ceiling fan vent in my downstairs bathroom. Ed then got up in the ceiling and sealed the seams on the ductwork inside the ceiling which were leaking cold air — which was shoddily installed by the builder. He then insulated the ductwork in the ceiling above the bathroom. He also took apart my ceiling fan — which was now rusting from all of the condensation — cleaned it up, lubricated it — and sealed it so no more cold air or condensation would leak in or out inside the ceiling space. If you need any custom work or handyman jobs — contact Ed. He does not have a store front or such — but you can reach him at: — or call:(540) 937‑4710. He does wonderful work! Highly recommended! And a super nice guy!
