Hi Dwayne, I just wanted to write to Houz to share the results of hiring your firm Dwayne Seal Custom Design. My wife and I wanted to change the layout of our home and was looking for a professial company to handle our design, drawings and permit needs. We were very lucky to find Dwayne and his experience to help us with our dream, throughout the process Dwayne has shown a true professionalisum and knowledge of the building codes and bylaws for our project. I would highly recommend anyone who is looking for professional leadership in design and process when building thier dream to call Dwayne. Yours Truely RG

We met Dwayne almost a year ago in relation to a complicated, time sensitive project of moving a recycled home and garage to an acreage. Dwayne presented himself as competent and we decided to trust him with our dream. We hired him to create architectural drawings and help us with the permits. Dwayne is not a great communicator and he is hard to reach. He did not explain the process well and as a result it took 5 months to get development permits in place. What was most disappointing for us was the lack of response from him while waiting for these permits and then having to wait an additional 3 months for building permits. As a result of Dwayne’s mismanagement of the permit process, we still do not have the buildings on foundations and we estimate we are over $20,000 over budget at this point. Hiring Dwayne is our biggest regret. We trusted a friend’s recommendation and realize too late that we did not find the best fit for our project so we do take some responsibility in the outcome. I do feel it necessary to share our experience so others can make an informed decision.

We have worked with Dwayne for over 10 years in numerous capacities, and have always been so impressed with his knowledge, design ability and overall professionalism. Dwayne comes to each client meeting prepared with the understanding of their project and a fresh outlook for design options. Often presenting “out of the box” ideas, his designs are always meticulously detailed and clear for pricing and permitting purposes. Dwayne has a solid foundation of many years of experience in renovations and new home builds, and is always up-to-date on code changes and permit requirements. He makes the permit application process seamless, and his design package includes the often daunting task of applying for development permits when required. We have never been disappointed when dealing with Dwayne, and having him as the designer on our project brings the relief of knowing that things will be done impeccably and there will be no hidden surprises. We have referred Dwayne’s services numerous times in the past, and will continue to do so – he is our first call for architectural requirements!

Dwayne helped us tranform our house design from an awkward, disjointed, tired, cold, and uncomfortable house to an open, light-filled dream home. He broke us out of the constraints of the existing impractical floorplan and structure into a space with movement and warmth that invites our friends and family inside, provides room to mingle and enjoy one-another's company, while maintaining the seclusion of our private sanctuaries. I highly recommend Dwayne for not only his accumen, knowledge, imagination, and experience, but also for his positive, professional yet approachable attitude and personality. He understood our needs and desires and took them from a list of wants into a plan that not only could we envision our home from, but that the project management company and their contrators and vendors were able to work from with confidence. Dwayne has had a life-changing influence on the quality of our lives for which we can not be more grateful.
