Dan Umbricht and Umbricht Builders have been exceptional. Five stars simply does not seem like…read moreenough.
My wife Denise and I came to Dan while recovering from an extremely difficult home-renovation situation. From Denise's very first text and email, Dan was responsive, understanding, patient, and genuinely interested in helping us get our home back on track.
Dan has truly been our "Mr. On the Spot." When we have needed help, advice, an estimate, or someone to take a look at a problem, he has consistently responded and done everything reasonably within his power to help. He listened to what we were dealing with instead of treating us like just another job.
What has impressed us most is his integrity and willingness to find solutions. Dan has worked with us on pricing because he understood our circumstances, helped us identify practical ways to move forward, and never tried to take advantage of a difficult situation. When something was outside his scope or he could not personally get it done, he did not simply say, "I can't help." He referred us to qualified people who could help and, on several occasions, helped get the problem moving toward a solution.
His crew has also represented him extremely well. They have been on time, professional, courteous, hardworking, and friendly. They treat our property and us with respect, communicate well, and show up prepared to work.
During a construction project, you quickly learn that technical ability is only part of what matters. Reliability, communication, honesty, judgment, and standing behind your word matter just as much. Dan has demonstrated all of those qualities to us.
One of the small example is how decated the Umbicht crew is, they attived at 7am and didn't leave until 5:30 pm. In this one example the crew removed and replaced a frount window with a door, it looks just admasing.
At this point, Dan is much more than simply a contractor we hired. He has become someone Denise and I trust, rely upon, and consider a friend. During one of the most stressful periods we have experienced as homeowners, he has shown us compassion and repeatedly stepped up when we needed help.
We would recommend Dan Umbricht and Umbricht Builders without hesitation. If you want a contractor who answers the phone, shows up, treats people fairly, solves problems, and genuinely cares about the people he is working for, call Dan.
Thank you, Dan, for everything you and your team have done to help us get our home--and some peace of mind--back.
