A U-Haul driver came to pick up a box buy backed up in to the wall between the neighbor and our driveway. We searched around for a local contractor/handy man and D-lux git back to us quickly with a fair bid. They showed up on the day promised and went on to fix the wall. They got the wall up pretty well for having crazy plum lines with each large concrete block. After the initial job we had some concerns with the mortar and over spill of it and Dean and his team came back to assess the concerns and validated them. They did another pass, helped with the overspill and it looks great now. Dean communicates well, knowing he is a busy guy and in jobs everyday and stands by his work. I can't say how appreciative I am for him being communicative keeping us in the loop during his busy schedule. read more

walked off our job, took my last payment and didn't buy any of the promised materials, and left me with $10,000+ in bills and having to re-do/finish poor work. Didn't communicate and then just left. read more

He's a nice guy and had a lot of good suggestions about details to make our home reno look high end (e.g. screwless electrical outlet plates), but overall we had a very poor experience and would not use Dean again. Dean did a good job on retiling our fireplace at our old home. When we bought a new house and planned a big remodel including fireplace, backsplash, counters, wood floors and painting Dean said he could do it and provided a competitive quote. It was a big job and he's a young guy, so we weren't sure we should trust him with the entire project but he assured us he'd done big remodels before. So we moved forward trusting him with our full reno. Dean has the best of intentions, but he managed our project poorly and was often MIA - not responding to texts or calls for up to a week when he was busy with another job. During the project I had several conversations with Dean about it. He admitted he should be more professional / responsive and not disappear. However he did not improve. At the start of our project, we repeatedly asked Dean for a project timeline with payment milestones. He kept promising to provide it and never did. He made some big decisions without consulting us, e.g. he repainted the entire house before the renovation work started to "stay on schedule" - it would normally be done last to avoid a lot of touch up painting for renovated rooms, he didn't consult us on the island counter design, etc. Since Dean was often not onsite when work was being done, there is limited quality checks while work is being done and there's a big rush for Dean to try to fix things and complete the project on weekends. When our reno fell behind schedule, Dean promised it would be completed on time, but didn't ask his crew to work longer hours or keep them accountable for daily punch list items. Dean tried to do as much as he could on weekends. That may work on small projects but doesn't work on large renos because there's too much for one person to do. We had to delay our move in when Dean said he needed more time to "dial in" in the reno. When we did move in the house was filty and the work incomplete. We have a toddler. It became very frustrating because we had to clean-up behind Dean and the crew to make it safe for our son as the work dragged on. It was especially frustrating when there were do-overs for poor quality work (e.g. the backsplash and countertop grouting fell apart because a bad batch of grout was used and Dean didn't inspect the work, touch ups for sloppy painting, lights hanging out the ceiling when we moved in, big gap between the fire place mantle and fire place tile, etc). Towards the end of the job he was ready to move on to the next one and kept asking for a final payment before all the work was done. He repeatedly promised to stand by his work after the reno was done and fix any issues with it, but once he got the final payment he disappeared leaving a lot of construction materials in our driveway and never returning numerous texts or calls from my wife and me. He also left all the extra wood for the floors in the driveway exposed to the elements without mentioning anything to us. We found this very unprofessional. Judging by other reviews he's disappeared after receiving final payment and not completing the work. So I'm glad we withheld the final payment until the reno was complete. There are issues with some of the work he did, but we'll need to hire someone else to fix it. read more

My kitchen pipe needed to be replaced so the plumbers had to tear up the drywall in the downstairs bathroom. I called up several places recommended on Yelp but either they didn't handle the full job (drywall and paint) or the drywall repair was too complex. Dean provided a good quote and is a nice guy to work with. Jose, his employee, did an excellent job! He expertly patched up the holes, smoothed it out, and painted it so you couldn't tell. I'm very happy with the quality of work and the care in cleaning up the mess afterwards. Would definitely use them again for any home repair and would recommend them to others! Thanks! read more

BEWARE of this contractor. I hired Dean for several projects that were supposed to take 4-6 weeks. 3 months later, every project is only 70% completed and paid for in full (to "keep the project moving") and he stops responding. Does not return my calls, texts or the calls of another contractor who had initially recommended him. I'm stuck with an incomplete and almost unlivable house and have to find vendors to finish the flooring, wood work, stucco, electrical, door/window installation, drywall and paint. Since working with the other vendors, I've come to realize what poor quality workmanship was initially done by D-Lux Construction. Save yourself the headache and stress and find a licensed contractor who knows what he or she is doing. read more

Dean and his team were fantastic. We hired them to replace siding and paint the exterior of our house. Dean worked within our budget, his crew was friendly, clean and professional and they did a fantastic job. I recommend D-Lux Construction highly!! read more

Dean seemed like a nice guy. Came out twice to fix the same electrical problem. Both of his repairs did not work. He offered to come out one more time , thinking that he would replace the electrical breaker. He initiated the appointment. He never showed, never called to cancel. Did not reply to my email. I really misread this guy. I'm very disappointed. I paid him the agreed on $100 and the second time out , I even gave him a $20 tip. What a flake !!! read more

My 25 plus year old deck was falling apart. I interviewed 7 contractors for the job. D Lux construction was my final pick after 2 weeks of narrowing down my field of choices. I was a little nervous due to what I saw on Yelp for information on D Lux constructions previous jobs. They weren't very large jobs compared to what I needed. My deck is of moderate size (300 sq ft) but it had a pergola with angles. I used a pvc decking called Azek because you don't have to paint it like wood. Its pretty much maintenance free. Dean ( owner) of D Lux contruction was very personable with a can do attitude which I liked. He has experience in composite/pvc type decking which is what I was looking for. His crew (Antonio, Darwin, Alejandro, Lito, Maxwell) is very skilled. They know demolition, carpentry, brick/work, painting. They are prompt and schedule driven. Look at detail pic of ledger to rafter connects no metal rafter hangers. Makes it much more cleaner and just as strong. Dean is a young upcoming contractor in the Southbay that will keep improving. I am totally satisfied with his work and in my opinion you won't be disappointed if you use him. Here are some pictures of my deck. read more

I was impressed with Dean's portfolio of work and even more impressed after I met him in person and realized how hard he works for his clients. He was really cool to work with while planning a full remodel on a two-unit rental property. He has impeccable communication skills - quick to reply & crystal clear conversation - his bids are very detailed and appropriately itemized and he has a creative skillset that he brings to the table as well. Dean is upbeat and has a can-do attitude yet he's realistic and will help you every which way he can to do what is best. I highly suggest giving Dean a call! read more

Dean installed our Dishwasher for us. Framed it out in the space and made sure it looked amazing. Don't pay for the install from whoever you buy one from, pay Dean. You'll end up calling him anyway to fix whatever they big box installers do anyway. We did. Can't wait to use Dean on other projects we want to get completed. Super friendly, communicates well, and DOES GREAT WORK!!!! read more

Dean's company installed trim around my staircase and door trim. They also installed a closet and 2 prehung doors and a lot of shutters. The price was reasonable. Dean is very personable. The work was as expected. read more

I called D lux for a drywall construction job and I'm so happy that I did. Their painter Jose used to work at a hospital so he is very clean and professional. The walls looks brand doesn't even look like they were redone. I'm so happy that we are not in the remodel stag any more and can enjoy our home thanks Deen and Jose. read more

Just had our porch railing repaired. Dean was very professional and polite. It is definitely quality work and would highly recommend. We will be using his services for future work as well. read more

We have worked with a lot of home improvement people as we have remodeled our house and Dean is by far the most professional, honest, and hard-working of them all. Even when there were concerns about the job, he was quick to fix them always at his own expense. He has outstanding customer service and I can't recommend him highly enough!!! read more
