Duncan and his crew are the most competent group of professionals anyone could ever hope for. Any…read moresingle member of this team could carry an entire construction crew on their own, but together they are simply magic. Skilled and experienced beyond expectation, I don't think there was a single "impossible" problem with our project that could stand up to the A-Team Duncan has assembled. And you can tell that Duncan respects the people he works with and treats them well; I've never met a crew that works so well together, even the subcontractors seemed excited to be a part of the team. Our home is a split level craftsman, built by a Boeing engineer in the 50s and damaged by fire in 2020. Because of the fire, all the work we had done was permitted and inspected, which means that everything the crew touched had to be brought up to modern standards despite having been built by an aerospace engineer 70 years ago. I don't think most contractors would have touched our project with a 10 foot pole. But Duncan, our foreman Mike, and the rest of the team were such consummate professionals that the few minor issues that came up were all resolved quickly, with barely any delay to the rest of the project. Genuine, quality work, too, without a single sketchy compromise or quirky short cut. The kind of beautiful, elegant solutions you only seem to find in old-school craftsmanship anymore. An honestly unbelievable team of amazing individuals with a shared depth of institutional knowledge and experience that allow them to make the impossible possible. And flexible enough to make it all happen on our budget, which is frankly as impressive as the craftsmanship. A huge shout-out to Mike, Phil, Angel, Arron, Brett and the rest of the team, especially Kim at the home office for all her efforts coordinating, sourcing materials, scheduling, and keeping everything on track. Our project could easily have spiraled out and ballooned in cost, but Duncan's incredible team kept the entire project running smoothly. I can't imagine working with anyone else and I'm very much looking forward to continuing to work with DR Construction in the future.

From day one, communication was outstanding. Mike kept us informed throughout the entire process, explaining each step clearly and answering all our questions promptly. When unexpected challenges arose during the project (as they often do with older homes), they worked proactively to find solutions rather than just presenting problems. What really impressed us was their collaboration with our structural engineer. They worked seamlessly together, respecting the engineering specs while also providing valuable practical insights from their construction experience. This teamwork gave us complete confidence in the quality and safety of the work. The craftsmanship itself was top-notch, but what truly sets them apart is their integrity and commitment to customer satisfaction. Several weeks after the official project was completed, they noticed a couple of minor items that needed attention and came back to take care of them without hesitation--no extra charge, no complaints, just pure professionalism. If you're looking for a contractor who combines technical skill, excellent communication, problem-solving abilities, and genuine integrity, I highly recommend hiring Mike and his team.

We first worked with them for a kitchen remodel in 2023 and are still blown away by the work they were able to do for us! We removed an old wall and created a kitchen island to open up our space, set up a custom coffee bar, and fully ripped out all old finishings/etc! They were able to match the old arches of our 1927 to bring the character into our modern kitchen that we love about our house. They were extremely communicative about any changes, challenges, or delays. We even went on a long vacation during the project and we felt completely at ease knowing they were progressing on the kitchen while we were away. We recently brought Sadie, Medardo, and Gerardo back in for some plumbing, drywall, and electrical upgrades that became a bit of an upstairs project. Their work is exceptional every time and we know we will continue to work with their team in the future. Highly recommend!

Update... I've gotta give a big thumbs up to Calvin…read more He finished up the remodel/addition 3 years ago, I started having some issues with concrete patio settling and pulling sidings and roof support post with it. I told him about this issue within the warranty period but the patch up he did 2 years ago failed right away. The warranty period then ended. I kept asking him to correct this nonetheless. Although it took a long time for him to get back to me at times, he never said no, never said anything about us no longer being past warranty. And finally, late last year, he got around to addressing this. In the end, he undertook a fairly extensive repair, demoing the patio, digging deep, hiring a concrete sub, rebuilding a new patio. He didn't take shortcuts, did it all at his expense. Of course, in this situation, that was ultimately the right thing for him to do. But the point is, he didn't run away from my concerns, he always communicated in friendly and reasonable manner, and came through in the end. I think this is more than you can expect from a lot of contractors out there. He sure won my respect.
