DM Building was great! Very professional and Danny, the owner gave a fair price for the amount of work that we needed for our bathroom. The crew did great professional work and knew what they were doing. Our bathroom turned out great and we are very happy with it. Highly recommend!

Danny took on our project, which was to build a home on an oddly-shaped, canyon side lot. We hired him as he had experience building on hillsides as well as with working with our architect. Ours was a very difficult project; from Coastal Commission to City approval, as well as with structural engineering. Danny had a plan for how to access and install our caissons into the hillside from day one. Not only that, his crew and sub-contractors showed up everyday, on-time for our year and a 1/2 building period. We communicated nearly every day via text or phone calls; Danny and his supervisor Scott were always VERY responsive. They were also open to alternate ideas in order to cut down construction costs. We've now been in our new home one year, and can honestly say that we are very happy with the craftsmanship and quality of our home. Moreover, the few small issues that we have had (garage door opener; low water pressure), Danny has continued to be responsive and to send his team back out to assist us over this past year. Overall, DM Building is an honest and earnest group of builders who only want the best for your project. I highly recommend DM Building, and would be happy to discuss their work further with anyone who is looking for a custom home builder or looking to embark on a large remodel project.

All went well and the project was completed on schedule with quality craftsmanship. Throughout project there was adequate communication which was important because my children and I were still living in the house.

Outstanding company! All their employees and subs were skilled, neat and punctual. Couldn't be happier!

The work completed was of the highest quality. Danny, the owner of DM Building, is a fair and honest business owner, and very responsive. He has a very skilled group of people and they did a great job from start to finish. Our foreman, Scott, who treated the project like it was his own home, provided excellent guidance and help throughout the remodel. The attention to detail was impressive and suggestions were made along the way which made the house even better. Most of the workers are employees which helps in scheduling work. We did work with some contractors recommended and managed by DM Building for kitchen and laundry cabinets, as well as tiling and flooring--and they were professional and did excellent work. In my case, I had never done a remodel and my husband was the main contact in initiating the work. Unfortunately, he died when we were in the middle of the rebuild. Danny, Scott and his crew were very supportive and helped me through the remodel, over and above my expectations, accommodating additional changes and working with me to get everything completed. The house is beautiful.

The job went extremely welll Danny M is the most responsive contractor I’ve ever worked with and he deals with every concern raised or uncovered. He has had standards for both himself and his trades. He proactively uncover issues that do not meet his own high personal standards.

We live out of state & it was mandatory to have excellent communications w/our contractor. Danny & his team were incredibly professional, efficient, honest and dependable. We will not work with anyone else in the future. He did an exceptional job.

DM building provided excellent customer service from the very beginning...I was blown away because before we found DM Building we had several contractors in our home for various projects and when we found DM Building I was so relieved because they DO EVERYTHING, I never had to make another phone call for our entire remodel process; as a mother of four I can't tell you how much this meant to me!! It was all completed in a timely manner, they kept me informed of what is going on each day, they showed up on time and do amazing work, plus...their staff in always professional and polite! In fact we recommend them all the time! We had mold in one of our bathrooms when we moved into our home and they were here to remove it within 48 hours, re-did the entire bathroom and we had them back to do our downstairs bathroom and we hope to have then back soon for our master bath.

We hired DM Building to remodel our Kitchen/Great room and couldn't be happier with the process or the result. Danny and team were super professional, punctual and good at communicating where we were at in the process and what to expect. Although a lot of the team works directly for DM Building (which is nice!), the subs were also really great and their craftsmanship was excellent. It's always nerve-racking when you have to choose a contractor to work with, but rest-assured DM Building and team are great and you'll be happy working with them. We're about to add-on to our house and are planning to use the DM Building team to do that project as well.

Our remodel turned out absolutely incredible. Our friends and family give such wonderful compliments. DM was patient with my requests and changes of which there were many. Marshall, our project manager was on top of every detail. Both Danny and Marshall stated more than once that they wanted to make me happy. I am a perfectionist and wanted a perfect job. DM came through.

We purchased a 48-year old, one story house that needed a major update before we moved in. We did a lot of homework on creating an "Aging in Place" beach house for when we retire and DM Building basically re-built the entire house for our future needs and family's enjoyment. To say we took the original architect plans and kept adding new ideas would be an understatement! We more than doubled our original contract cost because we were enjoying the process way too much (plus Danny made it way too easy for us)!
We added a laundry room, a new master bedroom, a master bathroom and a walk-in closet. Right outside the sliding glass door in the master bedroom are stairs going up to a huge deck with a panoramic view of the ocean and mountains. We have an indoor poolroom with beautiful LaCantina doors that slide open from the kitchen and family room making an eye-popping statement when you walk into the house.
DM Building has their own electricians and plumbers as employees so you don't have to wait for outside contractors to make time for you. We have all new electrical wiring including IT wiring connected to a media closet for all the entertainment boxes, pool equipment, solar equipment, computers, modems, etc. keeping it all out of sight. They installed new plumbing lines and fixtures, electrical fixtures, ceiling fans, appliances, new windows, doors including beautiful, heavy pocket doors and new hardware throughout! They raised the ceilings and widened all the door openings.  The drywall textures and painting are exceptional. The exterior is a beautiful suede-look stucco with the perfect accent of stone below Hardie Shingle Siding.  
There are so many things that DM Building does to make the job look seamless, in a timely step by step process. They installed a tankless water heater, a full house water filtration system, new heating and cooling systems, a new roof with a lighted cupola and new sidewalks and patios with new vinyl fencing surrounding the property. Solar was also installed and because of all the new energy efficient features that DM installed, we are already seeing the meter going backwards!    
DM employees made the construction process much easier to deal with the stress. We lived close enough to come over every day to see the progress so we bonded with a great bunch of guys, Danny, the owner, is great to work with and only a phone call away and if you're lucky enough to have Scott as your job supervisor, you will truly enjoy working with him. It was a long year but there is no comparison to the old house we bought and the lovely home we now live in, thanks to DM Building!

Excellent people to work with. The workers had high competence levels and very positive attitudes. The quality of the work was outstanding, and reminded me of my Dad's, who was an old-school homebuilder craftsmen; for example they hand applied an under coat and a hand finish to the wall plaster, instead of the now common spray finish - the difference is remarkable. There were minor problems with the tardiness of a few subs, but overall they worked hard to meet deadlines for an older house that held many surprises behind the walls. The finished home received many "wows" from visitors, particularly those who saw it before the remodeling. An appraiser for a refinance expressed similarly and gave it the highest rating she could for other than a new home.

Danny, the DM Building crew, and his selected subcontractors did an excellent job on this project. Everyone was very friendly and professional, always over communicating and walking through all of the construction issues. I am very detail oriented and professional myself and DM Building more than exceeded my expectations. Even though I was completely happy, there were two issues that Danny himself wanted to do better and returned to make it nearly perfect. Absolutely stellar performance by DM Building.

Everything went great ! They were on-time, clean, and finished the whole project in the estimated time.

Danny and his crew are professional, responsive, and true craftsman. They did a beautiful job on our remodel.

Excellent!!!

It went very well. Everything was done in less than a year. I had zero complaints. The reason I chose Daniel was, it was obvious he, unlike the other contractor companies I spoke with, was not a sales person and genuinely wanted the best possible for what I could afford. When I am able to remodel my kitchen, Daniel Montijo will be the first person I call.

It went fantastic. The Project Manager, Sam, was fantastic and very responsive at every step of the project. He and the team at DM were easy to work with, very trustworthy, and willing to have every item that was done completed to my satisfaction. I would definitely hire them again, and recommend them to anybody needing a contractor to help with any type of home project.

Project took considerably longer then expected due to weather, architectural, permit and drilling delays.  DM Building worked with us throughout the project to minimize the issues.  Danny's sub contractors were all well qualified.  His crew were wonderful to work with.  We lived in the house through the entire process and they worked around our schedules to accommodate this.  Delays occurred with drilling caissons for the deck.  Danny kept the additional cost to a minimum and coordinated all the extra work that needed to be done. While the project was over budget this was not the contractors fault.  Most of the overages had to do with the scope of work, and problems encountered after walls were exposed and new issues revealed.  Danny was a great problem solver and did not avoid talking to us at any point during the process.  He was extremely responsive and understanding of all that was involved.  If I had it to do all over again - I would hire DM building in a heartbeat.  If we ever have any other remodel needs I will call them first.

The project took longer than we would have liked, but that was in part because we redesigned the deck and had to resubmit plans. Dan and his crew were very professional, had good suggestions to help us save some money and were a pleasure to work with.

Reached out via Angie's list and got a response that they could quote but work would be 4-5 months out, I said that was ok. He asked if I had plans, I said yes, and asked when they could come out to estimate. He asked me to email them but didn't tell when they could come out. I emailed the plans, stated that they may need modifications and may have updated plans shortly, but they were certainly ok for quoting, and asked again when they could come out. He said send me updates when you have them, and again ignored my question of coming out to estimate. Send an email asking again when can you come out, got ignored. Sent the updated plans, asked if he was still interested. He stated he'd review and get back to me the following week, but never heard back. Have to save it was very unprofessional, poor customer service, and if you advertise that you provide free estimates then do it.

DM Building is a great, fair, professional, and reliable company.  We had a big project, and Dany's team was awesome, kept the project on time, and did top quality, reliable work throughout.  They also allowed us to work with them on certain items, and were also very honest throughout the project on multiple aspects.  DM Building crew exceeded our expectations in terms of reliability and accountability.  The quality of the build is fantastic and overall they did an amazing job on our house.  Hire these guys if you want honest and "piece of mind" quality professional work done on you property.  We'd recommend them in a heart beat, as it's rare that you find a contractor like this...
