The ideal design build firm functions as a friendly, well-oiled machine. Sharp Builders combines the best in architectural design, engineering and building, while providing you with one point person dedicated to the success of your project.
Sharp Builders’ general contractor, Tal Kedmy, oversees the project’s daily progress, calling upon architect Fernando Sevilla should the need arise, so the work never gets backlogged. Sharp Builders excels at clean, contemporary yet out-of-the-ordinary, design.
Tal has a dozen employees on payroll, from framers to painters. This gives Tal maximum control over the quality and the timing of each project. Tal notes: “Our workers are hardworking and very responsible. They care about the property, respect the client, and know how to be safe.”
Sharp Builders can also draw upon their knowledge in green building if the client so desires. They retrofitted the Eco Station, a wildlife shelter in Culver City, and converted a large warehouse into the facility’s new school – all with eco-friendly practices and materials.
Tal’s ability to accurately bid a job was confirmed by his references. Tal explains “I don’t like the client to have any bad surprises in the budget, and I don’t like to nickel and dime.”
We visited a home on which Tal was putting the finishing touches. The homeowner welcomed us all. She and Tal bantered easily, but when we asked about Tal’s work, she became serious: “Tal truly wants his clients to be happy. We came up with a plan together, and he has been fully committed to making it happen.”
Tip: "Hiring a contractor is like having a brief marriage. It’s important to choose the right one for you."
I adore Tal. He stands behind everything he does. My kids used Sharp Builders for their house and had such a good experience, I used him to renovate our place and do an addition. The architect made sure that the addition matched the rest of our house. The job came in on time and the pricing was very fair. His crew is courteous, very professional and clean. I’m a nut about cleanliness since I have babies around – it has to be safe for the kids.

Sharp Builders completely designed and rebuilt my home. I’ve used other contractors and we weren’t on speaking terms at the end of the job. With Tal it was an amazing experience. He makes everything ok all the time! You get a lot of bang for your buck. I traveled a lot during the remodel and I’d let Tal makes choices for me, knowing it would be done in good taste.

Sharp Builders designed and rebuilt our house. Tal really cares about his clients. Other builders may do a good job, but their egos get in the way. Tal is always available and takes the time to talk to you about your ideas and concerns.
There were so many old bits and pieces I wanted to incorporate in my home. He was able to be creative with us. We got so lucky using Tal!

We did a partial remodel with Sharp Builders. We were out of town, so it was great that they could handle everything from design to finish with one point person overseeing everything. They did a great job. Their architect, crews, subs, everyone. Tal was good at keeping it on schedule and on budget. If something unexpected happened, Tal would take care of it. I recommend these guys. My sister-in-law is using them now.

Sharp Builders did an almost total remodel for me. Everything was excellent. His workers were great, very tidy. He always followed up with any subcontractors. Tal always returns your calls promptly and has good follow up on the work. His pricing is competitive – a bit below some other bids I got. Whenever a problem arose, Tal would say “no problems, just solutions!"
