DRM Construction Solutions LLC

We replaced everything in our kitchen except the wood floor. The entire project took six weeks.
DRM owner, Dennis Michaels, kept the disruption to our lives to a minimum. He always let us know who was going to be working in  our house the next day and when to expect them. Whenever possible, he made sure we had a workable sink and work surface at the end of each day.
Most everyday that one of his subcontractors was here, he showed up before them to get them started and at the end of the day to clean up whatever mess they had left behind. This was particularly notable because he had to drive from North Haven to Vernon, a considerable distance.
All his subs did excellent work and, obviously, had respect for him. He also worked well with our kitchen designer, Karen Warner. He has a good eye for detail and was easily reachable by phone when we had questions.
We highly recommend DRM Construction Solutions.

Let me start by saying the ultimate outcome of any construction project is driven by not only the competence but also the underlying character and integrity of the contractor you've hired. DRM excelled on both points. This was demonstrated throughout the project by both the owner as well as the on-site project leader and crews. All of the work was top shelf and either met or exceeded our expectations. The materials and workmanship were excellent and the crews cleaned up every night to minimize any inconvenience for us. Having a competent responsible contractor, however, doesn't necessarily mean there won't be issues or problems. This unfortunately is an unavoidable byproduct of any construction/repair project. The key for me is how well your contractor deals with these issues. Again DRM excelled. During the roof demo we had a damaged window screen. Repaired and returned on the same day. Also during roof demo we had asphalt marks on our hatch and vinyl fence. In both cases, the issue was brought to us along with a resolution. There was some damage to the sliders during shipment. They were not accepted by DRM at the distributors and replacements were ordered. I felt throughout the project that Dennis the owner and Mike the project lead understood what we wanted to accomplish and shared our standards for quality. Character, integrity, and competence along with a high level of quality materials and workmanship should put DRM on anyone's short list for serious consideration.

Responsive to all phone calls and requests for scheduling. Work was impeccable. Crew was neat and polite. Went above and beyond - brought in my trash cans and removed a dead mouse from my garage.

Their reputation is very good , very professional however I felt like they were too delayed . We had started months ahead and nothing was happening so we had to choose another company. They should put a time limit on the job. I kept calling and getting an answer, we will start next month but nothing was happening. Their pricing was a little expensive. They came on time to make the quote but no one ever came to do the job. I became frustated and chose another company.

I am absolutely and completely delighted with the quality of the finished work performed by DRM. Just look at the attached pictures of the lovely new bathroom and of the exquisite work done on the dining room ceiling. The carpenter had to custom form the edges of the coffering to fit the uneven walls of this old house. It is masterfully done in every minute detail and then painstakingly painted. The standard could not be higher. I really, really appreciate the time and attention DRM gave to getting the job 100% right and not stopping until this was achieved.
The crew were delight to work with, always friendly, courteous and considerate. All in all, they were in my home from March until October this year, and yet they managed to seem unobtrusive, which is a miracle considering this is a very small, open-plan house. Not only was I able to keep on working despite their presence, but they were able to tolerate having the home-owner right on top of them all of the time, asking questions and making comments. Their courtesy extended to advising me always when they would be arriving and then keeping their word. Each day began with the laying out of spotlessly clean tarps throughout the house, and the erection of dust proof barriers between work and living areas. Each day ended with the folding of tarps and meticulous cleaning.
When the project began, back in March, and I saw the expertise of DRM and their wonderful attention to detail, I asked them to expand the boundaries of their original contract with me and do a whole lot of extra things -- like the work on the roof and mending the staircase. They agreed. The job mushroomed, and eventually DRM said that they would not be able to work with me over the summer months, because they had other commitments which they couldn't put off any longer. There was therefore a hiatus before the job was completed in September and October. [In fairness, it should be noted the bathroom remodel was finished at this point and the bathroom back in use. The dining room was also already complete.] I believe that the distance between DRM's HQ and my home was hurting them in terms of commute time and the expense of gas, as well.
Obviously I was upset about the delay, and have given DRM a and quot;Band quot; instead of an and quot;Aand quot; for responsiveness in consequence. I should stress that I found them responsive in every other aspect ,and that their overall rating of and quot;Aand quot; from me is highly deserved. I know a good thing when I see it. I would not hesitate to use DRM again and would definitely recommend them to my friends, and to you.

We dealt with the owner, Dennis.  He was professional.  We met multiple times with insurance adjusters to get damage properly assessed.  The crew was neat, clean, and a pleasure to have around.

Dennis Michels took lots of time to prepare estimate in great detail. He was very timely, professional, and all work was performed WELL and under poor weather conditions. I was completely satisfied in all respects.

Professional, courteous, reliable.  Kept me informed.  Job completed 12/20/11 and have come back twice to look at a concern I had.

The crew was very clean, orderly and performed work in a timely manner. The work performed was excellent. Dennis was always available for contact and questions. The crew offered us viable options during the construction, it was an excellent job.

He is very good, professional and reliable.
