For those looking for a reputable, local contractor who is reliable, reasonably priced and meticulous about his work, contact Diamond State Contractors , Terry Lane 302-670-9935). He remodeled the whole outside of my house with new siding, windows and dormers. He also does kitchen/baths and decks. I did not have to worry about him doing shoddy work and covering it up. If he made a mistake, he pointed it out to me and immediately fixed it. He takes pride in his work and it shows. I’ve researched a lot of contractors and was extremely happy with them and get so many compliments from my neighbors! He is a busy guy so if you can get him as your contractor it’s worth the wait if he is busy.

Terry and his crew did an amazing job. He is very meticulous, conscientious, paid attention to detail and went above and beyond what was expected. He and his crew were personable, respectful and professional. His rates were very reasonable and I would highly recommend him and would definitely use him again for other projects.

Amazing. Terry and Alex were on time, always showed up or called when they said they would. They handled all aspects of the job from estimates, drawings permits to final inspection. Terry is proud of his work and it shows. No shortcuts. He does the work as if he is working on his own home. We will use him again!

Terry and Alex are the best of the best! Everything you could possibly want in contractors and more. Terry is highly skilled, detailed oriented, honest and reliable. He is a great communicator and super easy to work and so is Alex. What was so helpful for us was that Terry was able to draw up plans and get all of the necessary permits and provide suggestions based on his wealth of experience. His workmanship is topnotch. He doesn't cut corners and always seems more interested in doing the job right than making money. Another great thing is that while Terry could be a GC and just sub everything out, he does most of the work himself (framing, build deck, flooring, siding, window installs, etc etc) so you know you are getting his perfectionistic touch on your job at a very fair price. I also appreciated patience and flexibility, especially when we decided last minute to open up a kitchen wall and then add a huge window when he was almost done with the siding. Very grateful!

I totally would recommend this company. Terry and his crew were punctual, neat and professional. They showed up when they were supposed too. The job took a few days to complete and the finished garage looks wonderful. New roof, windows, new doors, power washed cinderblock, painted it and built a stoop to keep the rain water from washing in. Did more than I can remember. Also helped with some things needing attention on the house. They were very polite, and cleaned up afterwards. I definitely would and will call on Diamond State again. Thank you Terry and crew. Great on cost also. Fair and honest.

Owner Terry Lanes and the Diamond state contractor company did an excellent job. I experienced a terrible fire while being 5 months pregnant. They even finish the before the estimated due date. They always keep me informed of all work being done and where they was at with the project at hand. I couldn't ask for a better job.

This was the smoothest and most professional job contracted by me. Communication from the beginning was perfect and consistent throughout. Craftsmanship by this team was awesome. I am quite focused on details and this team completed a job I would be proud to call my own. Job cost was >$10K including materials. The price was very fair and the result was fantastic.

Terry, the owner, was very professional, courteous, and on-time. He detailed every aspect of the job to you in a way that would make sense, and would let me know immediately if any issues arose due to unforeseen circumstances. He was always quick in his responses and very easy to communicate with if I had any questions. He worked with me on a couple decisions that I made that I changed my mind on after signing the contract. Everything was done with meticulous detail and looks absolutely gorgeous. My wife and I are very happy that we chose Terry to do this job and love the new space that he made possible upstairs. I will definitely use him for any future projects.

Terry, the owner of Diamond State Contractors, was extremely personable and professional. Terry met with us several times before starting the project and provided us with a detailed outline, with pricing and timeline, of all the work to be performed. Terry made suggestions and offered his expertise but never pressured us to comply with his suggestions. He is punctual, a perfectionist and honest contractor. Our four season sunroom turned out beautiful and I would highly recommend Terry and Diamond State Contractors and would most definitely hire them again for another project.

Terry was great. He was always professional, on time and conscientious about the work performed. We have been repeatedly told by inspectors and others who have seen the porch that "your contractor really did a great job!" We would hire Terry again in a heart beat and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a contractor.

It went so smoothly, my friends & neighbors were awed. Workmanship is top-notch. You can't go wrong w. Diamond State Contractors. Now I will not use any one else; even for the "small jobs". If you want it done right the first time, use Diamond State Contractors. His workers are highly skilled and he surveys every part of the job, every day!

He removed all the railings, decking and the access ramp to the deck and is great at noticing all the details.  We did not need to replace the joists and supports, but they were covered with mold/mildew.  Terry suggested the existing structure be power washed prior to rebuilding the deck.  He replaced the ramp with a new staircase and landing.  The staircase is more solid than the rock of Gibraltar even though we live at the beach and it is built on a sand dune.  In fact, every visitor has commented just how solid and how beautiful the new structure is.  All the deck planks which are trex select are tight.  Every deck screw used is in line like the edge of a ruler.  All corners are sharp and well cut. The railings are solid and secure.  Terry is not just a builder, he is a craftsman in the old world tradition.  He treated our home like it was his own and the project like he was doing it for his own family.  Terry will make suggestions regarding details to make the project better while realizing he is spending your money.  He does not push things on you but educates you as to why other options might be a better way of doing things.  His clean up is beyond reproach.  If it weren't for the finished project, you would not know he had been there except that the area might just be a bit neater than when he started.  We are getting ready to do our next project and are looking forward to having Terry do it.  He is not just a builder, he is our builder.

He was very meticulous about each job he did.  He went out of his way to help me pick flooring bringing samples and cost.  I went to store and was able to  see a big piece and purchased my self and he pick up the flooring saving me money by not having store deliver    

He gave me measurements of vanity and top I picked out one that I liked sent him a picture and he checked to make sure the measurement and quality + price was good.  Again he picked up the set.


When it came to take out toilet we found that the floor was un level so he made it level and installed the toilet with no problems.


2 years ago,  I flooded my master bath vanity, flooring and bedroom flooring as well.  When he came out we talked about what I thought I wanted (price tag high).  With his expertise we were able to cut the price way down.  He went out of his way to find a way to cut the cost of a new stone shower.    He found a company that refurbished showers he knew and set up a meeting for them to come out.  He was there with me to hear what the person had to say.  Lucky me I hired the co and my shower is like new again - saved me 3K.

He gave me Measurements and vanity makers he thought would be good and last.  I was able to show him all vanity's I picked as well as tops which helped me make the correct decision. He also put down new flooring for bathroom and bedroom that we picked together.

He also put toilet in master bath as well.

I would not use anyone else.
