I had been trying to get a general contractor to come and give me a bid for a garage addition, with residing, reroofing, windows and doors for months. I happened to see one of D. T. Construction's employees repairing a roof down the street form my house. I asked Marty, (the man on the repair) if he could come down and take a look for me. Without hesitation he said he would and came down as soon as they finished the roof they were repairing. I am an avid DIY person and really have NEVER had a contractor to the house in over 25 years, I have added a window, removed walls and added a powder-room including my own plumbing and electric, so I never needed one before. Marty took all the information, my rough drawing of what I was looking to do and, very importantly, LISTENED to what my needs and wants were. He took everything and ran with it. I had about a 30K budget and between Marty and Dave (the owner) they put together two bids for me. One was the Dream bid of a 24 X 30 garage with the other work I needed done on the house. The second bid was for the 24 X 24 garage with the other work I needed. I know that they tried to get me into my dream garage but my budget just was not there. We did the smaller garage 24 X 24, that they fit into the $$ that I had budgeted. Dave got hold of me within a day or two, even though I first talked to Marty on a Saturday, to talk to me about coming out to see the project. We made an appointment and THEY SHOWED UP!! After dealing with about 8 - 12 other contractors that never even called back or never showed, this was only the first surprise of many good things to come. Dave, Marty, and I discussed what I wanted to do, and within a week they had put together the 2 bids that they said they would do for me. As I said earlier I went with the bid that fit my budget. D. T. Construction (Dave) contracted the complete job including: excavation, foundation, flat-work, framing, electrical, roof on the garage and siding on the garage. I also had D. T. redo the remainder of the house's roof, wrap and siding, new windows and storm door, gutters and soffits. They always showed up when they said they would, worked within the schedule Dave promised and the job went so smoothly I was amazed. The ONLY hiccup on the entire project was with one window. The front of the house was to have 3 double-hung windows installed where a picture window was already on the house. The window representative listened to my request and said there would be no problem building the window I wanted, but he (the window rep.) still ordered the incorrect window. As soon as the problem was realized Dave was on the phone with the window supplier. The window supplier offered to give me a break on the price of the window. Dave and I talked about it and I decided that I did not want the incorrect window, I wanted the window that I wanted. Dave assured me that what I wanted was what he would do! He was back on the phone with the window supplier right away. The correct window was ordered but would take 4-5 weeks to be made, Dave confirmed with me that I could wait and that whenever the window came in HE would come back and install the window. I felt that the window company should have made it worth Dave's time and effort to come back and finish the window, but Dave made it correct for us. Dave and Marty, finished everything but that window so that we would have the house as close to being done as possible, then came back the day after the window arrived and finished the house up. If I EVER need a Great contractor again, let me say that again a Great contractor, I would not hesitate to call D. T. Construction. I have already boasted and recommended them to others. From the first scoop of dirt, to the last nail in the trim, I am completely satisfied with the job read less
