My initial emails were answered in a timely manner and mostly important with many explanations to guide me through the process. Step by step (inspection, drawing plans, permits, construction, approval) we followed the progress of the job that was finished on schedule. The crew that came to perform the installation was lead by Luis, a great site manager who took care of many sides of the job. Not only he and his team performed the job diligently but Luis helped me also by answering questions I had during the installation. After 7 hours of working non stop they cleaned the basement and my garage, leaving them in better conditions than when they arrived! Highly recommended! A+

During the siding project on our house he uncovered several structural issues which he either fixed or improved upon the existing construction. He basically rebuilt the front exterior wall to our house because we discovered it wasn't secured to the foundation(product of cheap house flip before we bought it) as we were replacing the window. He helped us with design, color choices, everything. He can help you envision the project and then execute it to perfection. We couldn't be happier with the results and all of our neighbors are commenting on how great our house looks! He's a great guy to work with and his little dog Eli is an absolute charmer too!

Richard's engineering and structual expertise, as well as his attention to detail made our dream come true for our project. We appreciated how he related to us as homeowners, by being respectful of our personal space by sealing off rooms that were unaffected by the project, while making acess possible to areas we needed. He is an excellent communicator, and would text often to let us know his arrival times and other pertinent issues. He is flexble and willing to work around unperceived obstacles. His timing was impeccable, as we had a deadline for completion, and he dedicated himself to finishing as promised. We would definitely consider Richard for projects in the future.

Oh, and MCD's bid included building a back porch for that price! They completed everything in a week because they swarmed us with workers who worked on both projects concurrently. And both projects are finished to a high quality - the porch looks stout enough to land a helicopter on! Anthony, Meagan, and Dan were a pleasure to work with. We had a supplier problem that could have delayed the shower project for a month. Instead, they found a work-around and the start time was only delayed a week. Two thumbs up for MCD because that's all the thumbs I got!

If you want a builder who prioritizes integrity and craftsmanship, I highly recommend MCD. Thank you, Anthony!

Sam produced a great site feasibility document and we spent several months working on a design for the project. I had an initial vision, but Sam really helped me articulate exactly what I had in mind and created an amazing design for my project. He took the time to meet with me on site multiple times and the beautiful design really integrated well with the site and local conditions and would have greatly enhanced my property. He also helped me get in touch with several local builders and solicited initial estimates for the project. Those estimates ended up being above my budget and I decided to delay the build. However, my initial work with SDL was extremely positive and laid the groundwork for me to be ready when the time comes for my project to continue. I highly recommend SDL for your custom home project.

We are so thrilled with how it turned out and we will be using him and his team for more projects in the future. His guys, Ryan, Jaime, & everyone else did a fantastic job. Every person who walked into my home, has worked with Travis for the last 10 to 20 years. That made me very trusting of who was in my home when I was there and when I wasn't there. It is very challenging to find a trustworthy contractor who is not only good at communicating, but is also very good at their job. Thank you, Travis and team!

We can't believe this is our house! We've had a couple of friends hire him now to do their projects! Travis walked into our patched-together 50 year old house and understood our vision for opening up the floor plan and letting more light in. He worked within our budget to draw up a quote that met our vision, while also recommending items that could easily be isolated and saved for a later project date without having to re-do any of this initial work (like refacing the fireplace, re-doing the back patio). He was patient and helpful through the architect and permitting phase and had great recommendations for local cabinet, tile and plumbing stores that allowed us to get great quality finishes within our budget. Every sub-contractor that he brought in for specialized pieces like our master shower tile, shower glass, flooring and insulation were friendly and did absolutely top of the line work. He is also very clever at figuring out solutions to curveballs that our house threw and could take our crazy Pinterest pictures and piece them together to build custom solutions like the bench in the master shower. Overall our project included a major overhaul and upgrade to our electrical panel / electrical service to the street, major plumbing upgrades, new windows, a master bathroom addition and a complete interior paint/flooring refresh and remodel including a complete kitchen remodel (with removing load bearing walls to create an open concept) and hall bath remodel. Our house of 16 years is now a sturdy, safe home we can spend the next 50 years in - Travis didn't cut any corners and understood that this needs to be our dream home that will last "generations" as he put it. He's an honest guy with old fashioned values and you just won't find a better team to take on your project.
