Dan Wesley and his team are the best!
My husband and I purchased a Craftsman in the Claremont Village, knowing it would be a fixer upper. Originally, there was a 3 bedroom 1 bath home (built in 1924) and a really horrible 1970s mother-in-law unit on the lot. We ended up tearing down the mother-in-law unit and building a substantial addition to the original Craftsman.
Dan made the whole process seamless. We gave him a vague idea of what we wanted and he designed a beautiful addition that was 100 times better than anything we could have come up with ourselves. The architecture in the addition exactly matches the existing Craftsman...many people have remarked that they can't even tell that it is an addition. Dan knows exactly what the city will and will not approve. We did not have any trouble getting the necessary permits or acquiring approval from the planning commission. Dan and his team were clean and courteous. Our neighbors had zero complaints, which was very important to us. Dan uses very few subcontractors and those he does use are trusted colleagues he has worked with for years. We were extremely happy with Sean Simington (Simington Paint Company) and Jay and Paul Mace (Mace Tile). All subcontractors were easy to work with and very professional.
Dan's estimate for the building cost was spot on. We went over budget, but that was our fault because we ended up picking more expensive fixtures than we had originally anticipated. Throughout the entire process, Dan remained readily available. He was easy to contact and always had a smile on his face. You can trust that he will make good on his promises. He was overall a joy to work with and we will definitely use him again. read more
