This is my second time using D & R Select. The first time we used them was for water damage to…read moreour Palm Springs rental home, and they were referred to us by our insurance company. We were very pleased back in 2007 with their work at our home . They restored it back to pre-flood condition, and they were able to complete the job in a reasonable amount of time.
We have since sold our first rental home in the desert, and bought a new rental property that needed a complete overhaul/updating. While I was totally happy with D & R Select our first go around, I had a bit of apprehension to go with them as I thought maybe they would be too expensive, especially as we are now paying, and not insurance. I thought they may be expensive only as I know that they tended to be very busy with insurance jobs, but also because they do really fantastic work.
So, I did my due diligence, and I had three contractors come to my home to bid my job (D & R was one of the three contractors). After meeting with the three contractors, I was most impressed with Rod from D & R Select. He spent the most time at my property and with me. He took photographs, measurements, and did some drawings. He thought through the entire project on the spot. I felt the most confident with him, and after he left, and I called my husband and said, "The bids are not in yet, but we are going with Rod"! Not only did I know he and his crew did great work at our old home, but he made me feel confident that he and the crew were going to make all of my dreams come true with this new home.
The funny thing is, that even though I was going to hire Rod at D&R regardless of the price, all the bids were relatively close. That being said, D & R actually beat the price of one of the other contractors who showed me photos of what they did at my former home (by the new owner)....LOL! How ironic!
I am happy we made the decision to go with D & R. They did make my dreams come true, and exceeded my expectations....And they did all this in the time frame that my husband asked for!
What we had done: Open up and raise the ceiling in the kitchen. Also, I had them install brand new euro cabinets, install a new kitchen window, install can lighting, install quartz counter tops in the kitchen, bathrooms, and dry bar. In addition, I had D & R take out a stackable washer/dryer that was in the kitchen, and re-install it with venting to a closet that is on the outside of the home.
I also want to give a special shout out to Hugo. He was the foreman on our job and he is the best! He is professional, a pleasure to work with, and I don't think there is any problem out there that he can't solve. I am so impressed and thankful to Hugo.
In closing, I can say that I 100% recommend D & R Select! This is my second go around with them, and I would use them again in a heart beat.
