We were very impressed by his expertise and careful, detailed work. Particularly unusual and wonderful was how well he cleaned up after himself -- there wasn't a shred of garbage or scraps lying around afterwards. We are also grateful that Dan responded promptly to all of our messages, and for being absolutely clear about pricing policies and estimate. It was a completely new experience for us to deal with a trades person who is so responsible and trustworthy. We will certainly call him again when we have more work to be done.

It's interesting to see positive reviews commenting on Dan's pricing and work quality. After…read moreterminating my most recent project with Dan, I hired other contractors to finish the job. This made me realize that excellent workmanship can easily be found for more reasonable pricing. The starting point for my project was an already gutted space consisting of a former walk-in closet and a large bathroom. The goal was to make the bathroom smaller so the closet area could function as an extra bedroom. For privacy reasons, the new bedroom needed its own entrance and bathroom access, while the master bedroom required a separate bathroom entrance. After an initial consultation, Dan sent Noel to start framing the very next day. Dan did not provide even a simple sketch of the new layout and, as far as I know, did not take measurements. As a result, a framing error was made and I was charged both for the installation and the correction ($1,100/day). After a second faulty doorway was installed in the bathroom--despite my purchasing a tub Dan had recommended and sending him the specifications--I terminated the project. Correcting this error later took my husband three full days. To complete the project, we hired other professionals. For example, we hired a plumber who installed all bathroom fixtures for $2,800 (two plumbers, two days). Based on their estimate of the prior work done by Dan's plumber, the total plumbing cost would have been approximately $3,600. Dan's plumbing estimate was $7,000. We also had to pay $850 to repair and bleed the baseboard heating system after the work done by Dan's plumber. Dan's carpentry estimate also raised concerns: 15 days at $1,100 per day. When I requested a list of full carpentry days, dates when no work was performed were included, such as picking up a check or a quick consultation. If you are working with Dan, I would strongly recommend that you keep a daily log of actual work performed and ask whether short consultation visits are billed. Another frustration was Dan's repeated attempts to convince me that I needed work I had never asked for. Dan and Noel stopped by for a consultation about closets and proposed installing a walk-in closet in the master bedroom. This was surprising, given that I had previously paid them to remove the existing walk-in closet because I disliked it. I reminded them of this and indicated that I planned to purchase IKEA storage instead. Despite repeatedly expressing no interest in closet work, Dan continued suggesting that Noel come build closets. There was no proposal, no agreed scope of work, and no pricing, yet the texts kept coming ("Noel is free tomorrow and can start the closets.").

Dream House Services has been our go-to contractor for years because the quality, reliability, and…read morecreativity is unmatched. Khanh and his team consistently do an amazing job providing a finished project that meets or exceeds our expectations, all while protecting and respecting our property. Khanh is the only contractor I trust to not only accomplish my vision (in detail and meticulously) but also NOT destroy my property in the process. He always makes sure he knows exactly what you're asking for. He confirms he can accomplish it and even suggests modifications to the plan to improve it, to give you the best outcome. The whole team will come to your home and spend a day prepping your space "Dexter" style. He protects everything and anything near or around the work he will do. I've never had a problem with damage to my property with Khanh but I have with EVERY other contractor, no matter the job. In the past, every time we chose to go with someone else because Khanh wasn't available (scheduling), we regretted it! Khanh is a contractor that pays attention to detail, respects you and your property, and gives you exactly what you paid for or more. He's the only professional contractor I will work with for my home.

His team took care of the existing space and provided quality work for the kitchen repair (wall, cabinets, counters, minor plumbing). Furthermore, Khanh had great insight and possible solutions to issues that occurred during the re-build.

The team was able to work with us on pricing and figuring out ways to re-use or re-purpose existing undamaged parts of the kitchen to keep cost low. Lastly, Khanh and team was able to stick fairly close to schedule even when material delays or additional issues discovered. I would recommend the Dream House Services team for future any future work

However once we brought in Corey's team, they helped with determining the design elements and provided great guidance & suggestions that made the decision process much easier. The Core team was very flexible and happy to work with the company installing our AV system so all the design planning and scheduling was aligned. We highly recommend Core Remodeling and we look forward to doing additional home renovations with their team soon.

He cancelled on me more than one time after we had taken time off from work to meet with him, and his help was bafflingly rude when they told me after the last cancellation that they didn't want our business.

In the process of doing a kitchen addition and first-floor remodeling to my house, before I started…read moreworking with Alicia and Richard Nardo (the owners of ABRN Development Corporation), I'd been burned by several contractors. With these other contractors, it always seemed like there was something: Unexpected cost overruns, delays in construction, some "subcontractor" who wasn't doing their job. Our dream kitchen and remodeling became a nightmare until I heard from a friend about the great experience they had with Alicia and Richard and ABRN Development Corporation. First of all, Alicia and Richard met with me and my wife personally. They listened sympathetically to our tale of woe (clearly one they'd heard many times before) and took us step-by-step through our plans for our new kitchen and remodeling. They asked a lot of questions. At the end of our introductory meeting I really felt like they understood not just the frustrations we'd already endured, but also shared our vision for our plans. Within a week, Alicia produced a detailed cost estimate that addressed every item I'd outlined in our initial meeting--and many I hadn't. She produced a equally comprehensive timeline and schedule of work, to which she, Richard, and all of their subcontractors scrupulously adhered. I especially liked how Richard kept the construction area clean throughout the remodeling, decreasing significantly the general inconvenience of having our house under construction. My wife was so happy that Alicia went with her to the various stores to help pick out "just the right" tile, countertops, and paint. With Alicia and Richard in charge, everything got done on time, on budget, and to specifications. No more problems, no more arguments with developers, no more nickel-and-diming. Now that the remodeling is done and we're cooking in our dream kitchen, we look back fondly and gratefully on our experience with Alicia, Richard, and ABRN Development Corporation. I HIGHLY recommend them.
