There were a lot of things - some big, some small - which we wanted fixed or improved in our house. We lived in a 2,800 square foot, one-story house, which sat on a half-acre in a cul-de-sac. Our biggest need was more space; specifically an extra-large game / media room for watching movies, entertaining guests, or letting our kids play in. We had a very inefficient A/C system which was about to die on us, costing up to $15K to fix / upgrade. We also wanted to have a larger kitchen with new appliances and more counter space. We wanted to enclose our front living room with French doors to make it into an office. Finally, we desired a large, wood-burning fireplace somewhere in the house. We started by researching different home builders. Some companies charged a large up-front price for their architectural plans which we weren't able to own, and some companies had no charge for their plans, instead relying on a sketch and preparing to jump right into construction. We were nervous about both these types. We narrowed our search down to three companies, and in the end, decided to go with DFW Improved. They charged for the architectural plans, but their price for the design was reasonable. Since we owned the plans, we didn't have to start construction right away, or if need be, we could hire a completely different builder for the construction. DFW Improved can remodel existing bathrooms and kitchens, or they can build entire houses from the foundation, so we were comfortable with their level of expertise. We met with Gary St. John of DFW Improved in January of 2012. Before meeting with him, we originally thought about building a second story. When Gary arrived at the house, he immediately presented us with a number of options, some of which we never even considered. Because we had a decent amount of unused land in the front of the house, it made the most sense to keep the house as a one-story and extend the front of the house to build the new great room. By extending the front of the house, we could also expand the kitchen. Gary walked us through each of the options and the overall process of design, construction, picking out fixtures, maintaining landscaping, upgrading our electrical system and security system, etc. He also prepared us for the reality of home construction, especially living in the house that would be under construction for a number of months. He told us that during construction, there are always a number of things that may initially not be done to perfection, or areas of the house that might be damaged during construction, but that his company would fix everything to the satisfaction of their clients. Overall, we were very pleased with DFW Improved's service. Jeff (our general contractor) and Gary were always available for questions. All the necessary permits and inspections were completed quite smoothly. In fact, nearly every inspection passed on the first try. We are very pleased with the results. Occasionally, we walk through the house and wonder how in the world we decided to undertake such a large and stressful project. But the more we see the finished result, the more we are convinced that we made the right decision. And the more we are convinced that we made the right decision to pick DFW Improved as our home remodeler. read more

I had major water damage at my home on 10/24/2013. I was referred to DFW Improved by my neighbor who also had water damage from my home. I contacted Garrett from DFW Improved and we setup an appointment for him to come over and make an assessment of the damage that was done. I was given a dollar amount by my insurance company to get the work done. Well Garrett gave me a quote that was much higher than the dollar amount given to me by my insurance company. Garrett was able to talk to my insurance adjuster and get the needed amount to get my home back to its original state. DFW Improved begin the work immediately. I was assign a Project Manager by first name only Rick. Rick and i met and he setup all the appointments to get the work done without any hesitation. When the contractors started, Rick followed up continuously to make sure I was satisfied with the progress and if I needed anything else done that we might have missed. Just to let you know what needed to be done. I had wood flooring so they had to remove and replace the wood flooring. All of the baseboard were removed. They also had to replace drywall. I would recommend DFW Improved anytime. If you would like to discuss anything else about the work that was done and the professionalism of the staff at DFW Improved don't hesitate to give me a call. My name is Vic - 214 402 7176 Great job Rick!!! read more

We had DFW Improved do a full-gut master bathroom remodel in July of 2020. Like most people we had a shower and tub combination that just didn't work for us. The shower was too small and the bathtub was just a really big dirty clothes hamper. We had an idea what we wanted, (we watched all the HGTV reno. shows!) but we didn't know what was available or the finishes that worked well together. We chose DFW Improved because of their reviews and BBB record. We were assigned a designer, Kristie, who came to the house to view the space and to discuss what we wanted. She nailed it! She had 2-3 options for every decision and some ideas we hadn't thought about. We were assigned a construction supervisor, Miguel, who oversaw all of the physical construction. He made sure our floors and walls were protected, the crews were on time, permits were in place, trash was removed and that all work was to our satisfaction. He always communicated what was happening and what was coming up next. He always wore a mask and he always asked us if there was anything we wanted or didn't understand. All of the work was completed on time and on budget. The workmanship was excellent and we love the new bathroom. If you're going to do a remodel I suggest looking at the value DFW Improved brings to your project. read more

DFW Improved was an excellent choice for us for 3 reasons: 1. They have someone trained in Xactimate, which is the system insurance companies use to determine how much to pay you. We had to have major renovations, and when DFW Improved's employee finished working with the insurance company's representative, what we were going to receive in a settlement check doubled. They knew how to explain what was not accounted for, what could not be reassembled, etc. 2. They had a very good designer who could help me locate materials I was interested in, as we had to completely replace our kitchen, flooring throughout the house, fireplace, foundation, etc. She and others helped design the kitchen and bar as well, talking to me about what would work and what would not, and why. 3. The contractor assigned to us was outstanding. We have worked with many contractors over the past 50 years, as we have remodeled more than one house, and even the same one twice, and Jason Brown was exceptional. Outstanding communication, quality was excellent 99% of the time and when something needed tweaking, it was done timely and well. And an added great sense of humor! Their billing dept. could use some updating but that was minor compared to the rest of the great service, quality and knowledge. read more

In the past year, DFW Improved has made over our house in 3 phases. We have a beautiful new kitchen, guest bath, plus new flooring throughout. They also painted both the entire interior and exterior of the house. Phase 2 was a patio remodel that included a new roof, granite top storage cabinet, and cedar arbor. DFW Improved also completely gutted and remodeled the master bath, plus painted and carpeted the master bedroom. All the worked added up to over $100K. Throughout the process, one of the owners, Gary St. John, was engaged, along with his project managers, Corey Roeser, and Jason Storm. Although there were some minor issues (to be expected with this much construction), Gary and his team took ownership, and addressed those issues. We feel we received an excellent value for the cost, and could not be more pleased with the results. DFW Improved is a great partner. Their project managers and sub-contractors are some of the best, and DFW Improved stands behind their work. read more

We had several bids to do some work on the outside of our house (that was rather tedious) and some painting and staining. The job wasn't a big job (nothing like a big remodel) and there was no hesitation on doing the job. We were impressed with their proffesionalism and also they had a project manager for the job. The crew and management was very friendly and professional. We would highly recommend DFW Improved and we would use them again. While they were not the lowest bid, we felt the most comfortable with them and that they could get the job done as we had discussed. read more
