Walt Lytle

There is nothing Walt Lytle loves more than helping to change people's lives and homes through the power of remodeling. In fact, he spent most of his life preparing to do just that.

As a young child, Walt started out by helping his grandfathers do routine maintenance on rental units. At age 16, he began work in the construction industry, and in 1985 founded Lytle Construction. Fast forward 22 years... Walt is still crazy about his work, and is absolutely dedicated to sharing his passion for craftsmanship and innovation with those he mentors and teaches.

Always ready and willing to learn more about the construction/remodeling industry, Walt invests continuously in ongoing training, leadership development and skills enhancement for himself and his crew. From conferences to seminars to workshops, Walt and his team never stop learning.

Involvement in the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) and International Solid Surface Fabricators Association (ISSFA) are important ways that Walt stays up-to-date in his industry and craft. Another is through technology. Walt was an early adopter of the software program "Chief Architect" which the team at Lytle Construction uses to help clients visualize the impact of remodeling on their home. Walt has taught Chief Architect classes to Interior Design students at ARC and has conducted Chief Architect User Group meetings for his fellow NARI members.

In addition to staying active in industry associations and mentoring others, Walt ensures that Lytle Construction gives back to the community through involvement in programs such as Rebuild America, building classrooms for the Sacramento Valley Technical High School, and more.

Walt is a native of Sacramento and has been married for 18 years to his beautifully talented wife Cindy, who manages the Lytle Construction office. Walt and Cindy have four children: Jennifer, Katie, Ben, and Zack.
