We chose D&O construction and design because during the quote process, we felt that Ed understood what we were trying to accomplish and was willing to work with the materials we were most interested in. The implementation of our vision was even better than we had hoped for! Ed was extremely professional to work with. He showed up when he said he would and returned calls. His work was high quality, using quality materials. He helped pick out a quality sub-contractor for the railings. He kept the work space organized and cleaned up at the end of the day. He addressed any concerns we pointed out. I would highly recommend D&O construction for any renovation/construction project, especially if it requires special creativity.

I cannot recommend Ed Ott (D&O Construction) highly enough. He provides a high quality service, extensive knowledge and contacts, and a rare trait in the trades- punctuality. Ed is there, onsite, when he says he is going to be. He alway answers his phone and his reliability is superb.
We had very specific framing requirements for a Murphy bed/bookcase unit that was being built offsite. The builder gave us a set of measurements that had to be exact to accommodate his pre-built unit. We were also told shimming or adjustments were out of the question. The framing had to be perfect.
We called Ed Ott at D&O Construction and he framed that wall to exact specifications. The Murphy bed/wall unit slid into place and fastened to perfection.
Our time schedule for the framing was tight and Ed met our requirements and exceeded our expectations.
We had other projects on this job and my first phone call was to Ed. He always answered and he was always there.
Every opportunity I get, I recommend Ed and D&O and every chance I get to use him, I will.

Nice enough guy, referred by another contractor. I needed some work in 2 rooms consisting of base board and door trim install. Also had some trim pieces I wanted relocated. Asked to for Ed to come by before the job to discuss, he felt there was no need since it sounded like a straightforward job. #1 lesson learned always have the contractor come to assess the situation. The day of the job Ed arrived promptly on time. I supplied the painted baseboards and trim. #2 Lesson learned, go into detail of expectations. I assumed he was going a complete job of finishing to include calking and covering nail holes, again another miscommunication. When I asked for him to do the caulking he had limited resources to complete the tasks. He did not sweep up nails or sawdust after the job. Lastly he walked into my house through a door not associated with the job without knocking which drove my wife crazy. His work was good but not exceptional. I would say is would be ok for others but not for me.
Response from D & O Construction & Design Group Inc
"Dear Member, We apologize for the miscommunication.The description of the job changed once we were on the premises. The original estimate based on labor for only one room which did not include caulking and covering nail holes. You gave a B rating for our pricing. You received a very fair price considering we went beyond the original job description. As you see from our reviews D&O Construction is highly respected in the community."

Construction projects in your home can be very difficult. Ed made my basement finish very pleasant. Ed did the framing, painting and all of the trim work. Ed was very good at all of his work and always "went the extra mile" for me. . Ed got all of the framing done within two days. He then arranged to have the drywall installed. He then came back and did all of the painting and trim work. The trim work included building a large closet with shelving and bi fold doors. Ed hung additional doors, installed the trim around the doors and put in the baseboards. With any construction there are unexpected details that come up. Ed had no trouble handling those items. You can tell that he is very experienced and good at what he does. Ed gets a 100% recomendation from me. Also, he is very fair in his pricing.

Ed is a great guy and quite the character. We really enjoyed working with Ed and getting to know him a little bit. He does good work and charges a reasonable price. He's got an easygoing, laid back attitude and his response to "I'd like to" or "I was thinking about" is very helpful and reasonable. We ended up having him do more work than he initially bid and the price didn't increase a whole lot. He knows how to do a lot of things and he has the tools to get it done.
He always showed up a few minutes early ready to work, and worked hard until he left. He kept the area clean and warned us ahead of time if anything he was doing could potentially make a lot of noise.
We are very pleased with Ed and the work he did, and satisfied with the cost.

I basically told Ed what I wanted, gave him a picture i'd printed off the internet, and told him to go for it. He made it a reality!
He answered all of my questions, was extremely available to discuss the project, and was always punctual. He always added professional input but never 'steamrolled' my opinion - he was extremely willing to do minor things that I requested (such as recutting the mantle piece to make it larger). He also cleaned up after his work. Any changes to schedule were cleared with us well in advance and we had control of the project at every step. What I liked Most about Ed is that he is not a 'project manager' with subs like many handymen companies - he does all of the work himself so the cost of overhead does not get passed on to me, the customer. For areas outside of his expertise (ie drywall) he defers to professionals he seems to have longstanding relationships with, which I was fine with. Their work was built into my total price. I told Ed the price I wanted to pay (which was a bit below his original estimate), and he told me the materials we could buy and the scope of work that would be possible for my budget. It turned out to be exactly what i wanted and i am well pleased. I had 5 quotes and Ed's beat the next lowest by approximately 1000. We hope to have Ed back for a deck, some built in bench seating, and a basement finishing.

If you can find a better company to perform remodeling and new design and construction in Colorado Springs, I'll be surprised. I've hired many contractors to work on my home over several decades and D&O is the best in all regards. I seriously don't think you can go wrong by working with Ed and the excellent sub-contractors he brings to the job.

For this job Ed started with nine windowsills that needed refinishing and three that required building from scratch. He also built us an amazing wine rack. He set up a little workshop in our garage and went to work. At one point he was in the driveway sanding while it was snowing. As he began to reinstall the sills, others which we thought were "good enough" turned out to look pretty shabby next to the ones he'd done, so we increased the scope of the job and asked him to take on 3 more. When those came back, we did it again with an additional two. He handled the scope creep quite flexibly, taking the additional sills home with him and bringing them back a few days later. Ed is amazing. He is one of those guys who delivers excellent results and is a pleasure to have around while he's doing it.

We had an issue with water leaking from our shower on our second floor and down onto the wall and ceiling in our dining room. Ed Ott, owner of D&O Construction took our call and came out the same day to look things over and gave us an estimate and a timeline for repairs.
Ed is one of the kindest and most courteous men you will ever encounter...honest as the day is long, too. He quickly had his drywall pro out to tear out the damaged wall and ceiling and he even worked on a Sunday to finish the job on time as promised. Ed had his plumbers out on the first day as well. They lifted our jacuzzi tub so that the old tiling could be removed. They then took out the old shower pan and tiles and replaced the old fixtures with new ones we had purchased and charged us nothing for that installation. The next day, Ed had his tile guy out. We had chosen the new tile and gave the tile man a sample. He bought the tile and trim for the shower and the bath surround and did a beautiful job installing the new tile. After the new drywall was installed and textured...a beautiful job done...Ed came in and did a wonderful job painting the dining room.
Ed then had the glass company out to measure for and install our new shower enclosure.
We couldn't be more pleased with Ed Ott and D&O Construction. We have many projects planned in the weeks to come and we'll absolutely use Ed and his team again!

We were extremely pleased with the professional way Ed handled the estimation process as well as the conscientiousness he exhibited as he performed the work. He went out of his way to handle details and finishing. He listened carefully to what we were asking him to do, and worked with us to establish the approaches to each project.
Ed is a very versatile carpenter with a surprising breadth of expertise. Plus, he has the general savvy and confidence to figure out intelligent adaptations.
We would use him again in a heartbeat - and probably will.

Contractor responded quickly to my call for an estimate. He arrived the next day and prepared a fair estimate. We agreed on a start date, and he arrived as planned, and had the arbor built by the date we agreed upon. The arbor is beautiful! The contractor was professional in character, very knowledgable about woodworking, and he produced a quality product. I would definitely use this contractor again for other home improvement projects.

OUTSTANDING! I called Ed to frame out my basement because of his reviews on Angie's List. He came to look at my basement at the exact time we agreed upon. We discussed what I wanted, agreed on a plan and he took measurements. Ed gave me the choice of buying the materials myself or having him do it and I decided that he should do the material ordering. Ed got back to me the next day with an estimate, which was fair for the work to be performed (he separated out materials and labor which other people I spoke with did not do). The materials were delivered and Ed started on time.
The framing went well and there were a few suggestions/improvements Ed made that were definitely needed and which I overlooked. His knowlege and understanding of what the finished product would look like was very helpful.
Ed's work is outstanding and definite quality. He is a hard worker ethical, fair, and honest. I can't say enough good things about the job he did. I have already spoken with him about some other projects to be done in the next several weeks.
I recommend Ed Ott (D&O Construction) 100%. You will not be sorry calling him and discussing your project(s).

I was 3/4 done framing my basement when a sports injury prevented me from continuing. I contacted three companies. Ed Ott replied first and impressed me most. He framed about 60 linear feet of walls including 2 windows and 3 doors, 30 linear feet of soffetting, and helped me finish some unusual framing for a shower I will be tiling. I've worked construction framing houses and condos, and built and renovated houses off and on for 3+ decades with my father and on my own, so I know and understand Ed's work. Since I knew what I wanted done, he worked with me to do it. Where I wasn't sure, or he had a better idea, we did it his way. Most important, Ed does good work. He works fast and efficiently. He arrived exactly when he promised. Finally, he is friendly, polite and professional. While I like doing my own work, I may well hire Ed again. As a pro, he is faster than me, and I enjoy his company. Thanks Ed.

My experience with D&O Construction on this project has been beyond all expectations. Mr. Ott was professional in all aspects of the job. He was easy to work with, accommodating design changes and suggesting improvements as required. The crew was always punctual and there was no slacking on the job. The job site was always neat and cleaned up at the end of the day. It was evident the D&O team were professionals. D&O handled all aspect of the job from design, permit approval, materials acquisition and final inspection. To say I'm satisfied is an understatement. I have since hired D&O to perform renovations on a commercial building I own. I've also referred them to friends in need of a reliable and professional contractor.
