Our Testimonials

I found dRemodeling on Angie?s List, and hired them based on the reviews I read. I had already gotten two estimates from contractors recommended by friends. Dan?s estimate came in right in the middle. I liked his professionalism from the beginning. He didn?t try to razzle-dazzle me, he didn?t confuse me... he was plain-spoken and inspired my confidence. The entire job lasted two months in duration, though they did not work on the property every day. The crew was fast and they were expert. The workers were pleasant overall, and extremely hard-working. I got tired just watching them. One crew member was particularly expert. He did the electrical, and how he ran wiring through the attic and into the vaulted ceiling seemed like an aerial act. It was amazing. He also spotted an unsafe electrical item in the pre-existing wiring, and eliminated it. I am grateful for that. One thing I liked about most of the guys is that they seemed... happy. I felt comfortable with them in my home. They were professional and courteous. Early in the project Dan, the owner, determined that the number of windows/doors I wanted would mean too much labor going through the cinderblock and rebar of my existing wall. So he offered to take the entire wall down and rebuild it in wood. This is how I got the extra 100 square feet. I originally didn?t think I could afford to expand. But Dan gave me a great deal on the extra footage, and did not charge me for demolishing and rebuilding the wall. This was a great value; as was getting a proper concrete floor for no extra charge. I also appreciated the fact that they discovered and called my attention to the concrete floor in the first place. The architect Dan provided was great. He suggested custom compact stairs to save me space. The price was great, and they saved me 3 feet. The stair design is innovative, and the whole thing -- landing, bannister, stairs, with a closet in the landing structure -- is beautiful. Each specialty stair was hand-sanded. I should say ?lovingly?... you could tell the guy who did the woodwork adores working with wood. There was a minor problem with the look of the finish on the landing in a couple of small spots, and when I called Dan?s attention to it, he had the crew fix it the very next day to my satisfaction. This minor issue was the one and only item I had to request a fix on... really good with a job this size. The stair structure exceeded my expectations. It is beautiful as well as practical. Another item that exceeded my expectations was the 6-foot picture window I had them install above the sliding glass doors. It?s a plain window, but the crew framed it beautifully and left the wood natural on the inside. I would not have thought of this detail on my own. It is absolutely stunning -- the one-foot deep natural wood molding around the window is a show-stopper. Throughout the project Dan?s communication was excellent and personable. He responded quickly to emails. He was happy to make suggestions on finish items, as was the architect. Dan provided weekly updates on project status and cost, so there were no surprises. At the end of the project, the crew did a fantastic job with cleanup. Again, beyond the call of duty: I had a pile of crushed stone lying around, and one of the workers used this to fill in some areas around the site, tamping it down, filling between stones -- much appreciated. When I told my friends I was using someone from Angie?s List, rather than a company recommended by people I know, they expressed concern. But I have to say that using dRemodeling could not have been a better decision. I plan on using them again when I remodel my bathroom.
