We had our basement finished by DRM and could not be happier with the results. We chose DRM because…read morefrom the outset (and to the finish) Dan is very communicative and professional. That isn't something that always presents itself in the industry. The crew was also very professional and insightful. They were here every day, worked with purpose and scheduled the subcontractors with precision - and this resulted in the job being completed many weeks before the estimate. How often do you hear of that? The foreman, Pat, has a keen eye for design and is a finished carpenter by trade - so the results are absolutely stunning. They added a few built-ins that really made the space pop. It has been a few months since the finished and we just love our new space, it really expanded our home. In addition to all of these points, I would also like to say that DRM's quote was substantially lower than some we received. When selecting a contractor, I know how important these reviews can be. Please let me assure you that if you choose DRM, you will not be disappointed. We look forward to working with them again in the future.

DRM Solutions was the contractor we chose for the renovations to my new business location. DRM was…read moreresponsive and always addressed my concerns in a professional manner. This was a complicated fitup that came out absolutely amazing. As an architect, I can by hyper concerned with detail and quality, but that was not a concern with DRM. You can feel confident that this contractor will use quality materials and will implement them using the industry's best practices. Do not expect this contractor take shortcuts as that is not in his vocabulary.

Everyone else may have had an amazing experience with this designer, but I was put off by the very…read morefirst phone call with Galina. Told her how the last person I went with screwed me over and stole my money and after that I could not get a word in edgewise. I hadn't even told her the full story of what happened and she kept telling me what I should have done, designs that person owes me, how I should get back in touch with that person so that they could give me the partial work they did so I could give it to her, etc. I'm an attorney so I obviously know what I was supposed to do in that situation and what that person owes me. And honestly, none of that is her business but I was conveying what happened to me so she knew what situation I was in and that I needed some reliable. However, she missed that point completely and bogarted the conversation. When I was allowed to speak and partially state what work I wanted done, I was never allowed to get my full idea out before she cut me off and told me what was and wasn't possible and what I should be doing instead. I was glad when the phone call was done and agreed for her to send me a quote via email, which I honestly didn't even open. If that how she was on the very first phone call, I knew the rest of the process would be a nightmare. Definitely not worth it. Found someone else on Thumbtack and couldn't be happier.
