It all started with an ad in the Lake City Reporter advertising small home improvements. Don Reed had been laid off from Concord Mobile Homes due to the recession in 1973. Because of his quality and reliability, his business grew from a part-time venture to the fully established construction company that it is today.

As a state certified General Contractor, Don Reed has built homes from 1,500 to over 10,000 sq. ft. ranging in price from the low $100 thousands to in access of $3 million. He is also one of Lake City's most trusted commercial builders. A few of his most recognizable commercial buildings are North Florida Pharmacy, Baya Pharmacy, North Florida Pediatrics, Busch Urology, Shands Surgical Specialists Dr. Polmerski and numerous professional offices.

Establishing a reputation as a responsible, professional and quality builder came with much hard work. Always putting the customer first and being easy to work with is what has made Don Reed's company successful. With a family owned and operated business, both his daughters Leslie and Katie working with the customers and subcontractors and his wife, Beverly, as the Office Manager, the atmosphere in his office is always inviting. "We want the customer to feel welcome," he said. "That we are here to build their dream home - no matter the size."

A recent highlight to Don Reed's building career is the certification of his oldest daughter, Leslie Reed McDaniel, being licensed as a State Certified Building Contractor. She works as the Contract Administrator in the office. One thing he has always taught is to be open for opportunity - which is why he encouraged and supported his daughter to be licensed.

The past 35 years of business in Lake City and Columbia County has been wonderful for Don and his company. "Thank you Lake City for 35 great years!" he says, "I look forward to continuing the excellence in construction for many years to come."
