TESTIMONIALS

As homeowners of a newly constructed home, we are great fans of LEICHT Seattle and are very happy with the design, products, and services received by LEICHT Seattle. Yuval Sofer and the LEICHT Seattle team designed our two kitchens and installed multiple LEICHT cabinets throughout our home, including bedrooms, laundry, vanity, and cabinets in our entry. LEICHT Seattle was the best fit for our zero-energy home. The cabinets are extremely functional and designed to last decades which adds sustainability and lasting value to our home.

“LEICHT Seattle was the best fit for our zero-energy home.”

My wife and I chose Leicht Seattle to remodel our kitchen during COVID because we wanted our home to reflect our personalities instead of the standard brown palate typical of new builds. We were unhappy with the builder-grade cabinets, counters, appliances, and backsplash in our Auburn home. We visited the Leicht Seattle showroom and fell in love with the modern design, effortless usability, and bright colors. When we decided to start on our project, Yuval worked with us to bring our hand-drawn designs to life. This included demolishing a pantry, removing a window, and relocating lighting. Yuval focused on how we use our kitchen and suggested changes to our design to best meet the needs of our lifestyle. Not only does our remodeled kitchen look stunning, but it is now a more usable space for our everyday lives thanks to Yuval’s input.

We chose to use Leicht Seattle as the general contractor for this job, which was a great decision. I know this was likely the more expensive choice, but I wanted to avoid the horror stories of contracting work out to friends or lowest-bidder contractors. Anthony was our point man for everything and I cannot sing his praises enough. Anthony is capable, trustworthy, and extremely professional. He was (and still is!) available literally 24/7, at a moment’s notice. His attention to detail and insistence on the highest standards blew me away. He truly gave us the white glove treatment and accepted nothing short of perfection from Leicht’s material quality to the craftsmanship of his subcontractors. Over 10 times during the remodel I messaged Anthony late at night with petty requests like “I’ve decided to change the height of these shelves”, “ensure all cabinet doors open and close silently”, or “help me dim this underlighting.” Anthony made me feel that these requests were important and he resolved them immediately the next morning. I always felt like his top priority.

However, nothing is perfect, and I want to be transparent to readers considering Leicht for their remodel. Leicht offers a premium product, with top-tier contractors, and the price tag is commensurate with this high degree of quality. If I were to do this again, I would be firmer with our budget. I recommend working with Yuval on this to make sure the sexy, cool features you want to add don’t break the bank.

YS Built and Leicht Seattle did an amazing job on our kitchen renovation last year. We were very happy with the level of service and Yuval worked with us very intensely to work on the budget and look at several cost saving measures, and with an eye for design. Their team was very skilled, prompt, and thorough. The end product is a fantastic kitchen we are very happy with. Cannot recommend enough for the kitchen quality and level of craftsmanship as a contractor.

“Even when things didn’t go perfectly, as is inevitable with construction, Meddie was there to help make everything perfect.”

Yuval, Meddie and the Leicht team of installers did an amazing job with every aspect of the many home remodel projects they managed for us.

Yuval has such a great eye for design and stopping by his showroom in pioneer square was a great source of inspiration (and the occasional glass of wine was pretty great too!).

We are very happy with the final product. We had a good idea of what we wanted and Yuval showed us so many beautiful and inspiring design possibilities. Even when things didn’t go perfectly, as is inevitable with construction, Meddie was there to help make everything perfect.

Our home feels very special now and the process was really fun.

Thanks to the Leicht team!

We found YS Built through our kitchen designer (Brian Roberts) and knew we had found a good match. Owner Yuval’s design aesthetic and the Leicht cabinet line were very much our style. We ended up really liking all the firms/materials they helped us identify for doors, windows,sinks, appliances, lighting, floors etc.

We found the YS architect thoughtful and talented - we had an initial design but needed to make quite a few modifications as we talked through ideas with Yuval. We also came to really value our onsite project manager who was talented, trustworthy and creative.

In the end we took out a huge wall, popped up the ceiling, added a big beam, re-did many doors and windows (including relocation), and also re-doing a landing area, entry way and part of our deck.

I most appreciated YS Built’s flexibility to think about ideas as we went along.

We couldn’t be happier with our kitchen! We loved working with Yuval and his team. They are so professional, so patient and fair. We had a great basic design in mind and they took it to a new level - far exceeded our dreams. We still pinch ourselves that this is really our kitchen. Next step for us is to remodel our bathrooms and we would definitely hire Leicht Seattle again. The Leicht products are superb, installation quality excellent - and they brought just the right modernization we wanted.

We love our Leicht kitchen! The cabinets speak for themselves—they are high quality, beautiful and functional. Working with Yuval and All was a great experience for us. Attention to detail and careful craftsmanship is important to us and Leicht Seattle delivered. We highly recommend!

“Working with Yuval and All was a great experience for us. Attention to detail and careful craftsmanship is important to us and Leicht Seattle delivered.”

The design and installation services were fantastic. The wait for shipping was definitely worth it and we would do it again. The quality of the cabinetry and thoughtfulness of the layout, drawer inserts and suggested options such as the trash can drawers makes it a joy to work in the kitchen. The cabinets are robust, simple to clean and look great.

Trust, competitive pricing for the countertops and the additional project management between the crew and our other contractors meant we could be in another country while the installation was taken care of without worrying about the quality of the work and timing between the trades.

NB: In some photos there are a few missing items (tiles etc..) and gaps because the renovation has not yet been completed. Better photos will be uploaded later.

We went with a Leicht kitchen in our latest remodel, and we’re delighted... As an architect (Richard Hiner Architects, PLLC), I really appreciate the many price levels available in the line (based upon finish), all with the same quality hardware, functionality and detailing. Our kitchen was “on the boat” when they said it would be, and arrived when expected, fitting into my schedule as GC...and the product and install cost was right on as well.

Leicht’s modern look and style married well with our mid-century modern Seattle home. YS Built handled the installation, and we couldn’t be happier with their work as well.

“You should stop into his showroom to see some beautiful kitchens, art, and design to get inspired.”

Our home is a ranch style built in 1965 and was in need of a kitchen remodel. We hired an interior designer to design the entire layout of the kitchen first, then we worked with Yuval to further design and refine the kitchen layout with concern to the style and material of the cabinets. His team was fully in charge of the installation of the cabinets and countertops for our kitchen. During both design and installation process, Yuval is pleasant and patient to work with, and has a great eye for design and details. He worked with us to find a good balance between what we wanted and our budget, and we are very happy where we ended up. When we have any questions, he always get back to us within a day or even faster with his answers or action plans. It’s very rare to find this good communication in the renovation filed, and we absolutely appreciate it.

We hired Yuval for our kitchen cabinets before his showroom in Pioneer square was open. We recently stopped in and it is beautiful and inspiring with his mix of cabinet materials and art. The showroom does a really nice job showing capabilities and finishes, and I feel we would have made a few different choices on our kitchen if the showroom was open when we started our project.

We highly recommend Yuval’s services. His reliable, patient, and inspirational design guidance is backed up with a high quality standard. At the very least you should stop into his showroom to see some beautiful kitchens, art, and design to get inspired.

Great Ideas and Design. I contracted YS Built to build my custom home and worked directly with the owner, Yuval Sofer, for over 2 years. During the design phase, Yuval had great design ideas and creativity, and I enjoyed collaborating with him on the project. I would recommend him for design work.

I have worked with YS Built for numbers of projects for a couple years. I have been very impressed with their innovative approach for their built-green house design and construction. They are certainly one of the most progressive and knowledgeable sustainable custom home builders.

I have been collaborating with YS Built LLC since 2008. In working with them, I have participated in some amazing projects. The staff is creative, decisive, innovative. They are passionate about good design & good craftsmanship and work hard to please the customer, yet be firm in asserting the smartest decisions for the project. This company is obviously aware of the current needs of homeowners~ they are on the forefront of the industry. I highly recommend them if you want to find land, build a home, design a home or remodel a home.
