Our Testimonials

Our experience with DRemodeling totally exceeded our expectations. When Dan says on time and on budget, HE MEANS IT!! We were expecting a baby and needed to move back into the house in 4 months. Other contractors had told us the work would take 6 months or more. Those contractors were so much more expensive we wouldn't have been able to do the full remodel for our budget. His team worked SO hard, even on some weekends, to get the job done on time for us. I always felt like we were a priority for them. Even once the project ended they were prompt in dealing with odds and ends. And indeed we were back in the house and I was setting up the nursery 2 weeks before my due date as planned!!!  From the very beginning, Dan acted with urgency to get the job done. The guys even worked to do the demolition starting on Christmas Eve day! They had totally gutted the kitchen by the end of the day and we were able to spend our vacation brainstorming kitchen layouts since after the demo we knew our structural limitations. We worked closely with his interior designer who provided multiple kitchen layouts and 3D renderings that really look just like the kitchen does now! It gave us a great idea of what it would look like, and I was so glad they had a 3D tool like that to keep tweaking. We also worked with KaMan, their Architect, on kitchen layouts etc. She did floor plans for the entire house. She drew up official documents of every floor to show the new layouts as well as where electrical, cable, etc was going. We went through many many versions of the plans and she was always spot on and very quick to modify the plans so as not to delay us. She also has an incredible eye for color, and we trusted her to pick paint colors for the entire house in and out after describing our tastes to her. We are in love with the colors and are so thankful for her help! There were SO many decisions it was helpful to be able to hand some of them off to her. She also took multiple trips to carpet and tile stores to get us samples and meet with us to discuss what she thought looked nice together based on our tastes. She was amazing and our house would never look so beautiful if it weren't for her help Dan has relationships with multiple vendors that really saved us a TON of money - cabinets, countertops, windows and plumbing. Those are all big ticket items and in some cases the cost was HALF of what is normal. He also tries so hard to save money - he bid out our windows and we were able to save so much money as a result of his extra effort. Dan's team are some of the most courteous workers I have ever met. By the end we were all friends! Some don't speak English much at all, but we were always able to convey to them what we wanted done and the end result was always perfect, even if it took a little extra effort. They work very very hard to please and try really hard to get it right. They also never cut corners and the quality of the work speaks for itself. We have had several people comment on how excellent the quality of the work is, and they ask for the company's name. They paid such close attention to detail. There were however times when things weren't obvious to them, and we had to make them do it. So there was a lot of checking things and not making assumptions things would be done. Like for example they didn't put a threshold between the carpeted hall and the wood bedroom floors. Or they didn't stain all the windows so the color looked identical. We had to urge them to do a few things properly. Also we made our request to the worker directly, and barely saw Dan throughout the project. He is not the kind of guy to have daily meetings at the site with you, he is too busy. But that was OK for us, we spoke on the phone and via email. So working with them is not the best idea if you don't want to be engaged in the process all the time or if that will frustrate you. For us, it was exciting to be so hands on. Same thing goes for ordering materials. We were pretty much on our own to get a lot of the stuff.  Overall, if you are looking for a high quality contractor who lives up to his promise on time, budget and quality, AND you are willing to deal with some English barriers and directing some aspects of the project yourself, Dan is your guy! For us, it was absolutely the perfect match. We are moving to California and I truly wish I could take them all with us to remodel our next home!
