Daniel Krienbuehl Contractors Inc

We're very pleased with them. We got estimates from three different companies and Daniel's presentation of what he could do was good. His price was the best or close to the best. He followed through with things he promised. Their work was good. It was quality work. They got things right. They did some finishing touches on some things that came out a little different than we were planning. They made sure we were happy with the job.

Daniel was very professional and held to his commitments.  The work was done on time and at what we thought was high quality and reasonable cost.  Two things I wish he had done were to suggest putting in a skylight, which would have certainly been cheaper and easier to have done when the ceiling was removed.  It's not his fault that I didn't think of a skylight at the time, but I would have welcomed the suggestion.  Also, when cutting the brick not enough care was taken to prevent dust from permeating the house.  When I raised the issue he put up a plastic sheeting but made no offer to clean up the mess.  Maybe I expect too much, but that's what it would take to get the highest rating. 

Danieal provided a very competitive price, suggested many helpful design ideas and was always prompt and professional as was his team.  Would definitely use Daniel again.

We asked Daniel and two other contractors to bid on our project. Daniel's was the lowest bid of the three. We also visited several of his previous projects before we decided to go with him._x000D_|_x000D_|The project was an almost complete renovation of our second floor including adding a dormer, expanding a dormer, adding a roof beam and other structural elements to our under built house, roofing, siding, insulation, windows, HVAC, electrical, and finishing out three bedrooms and our master bathroom. We also had Daniel and his crew remove the existing sunporch and build a new four season room with an attached deck and universal access ramp. There were a few additional pieces like replacing windows and doors and ceilings in other rooms and coding up old openings in masonry. In the end only one room of out house was not touched by this renovation._x000D_|_x000D_|We are very pleased with Daniel and his work, and here is why. His crew was here everyday at 7:00 AM and worked straight through. They were always kind and courteous; the type of people that you can trust being in your house all day when you are away. They did excellent work start to finish. Daniel was on site daily to check on progress and we had the same three workers at our site throughout the project. They were respectful of our family and our needs (we lived in the house during the work). They managed the sub contractors well throughout the project. The project came in very close to budget. Unanticipated change orders came to only about 1% of the project. The project did run past the original time estimate but that was largely due to difficult weather, a delay from the window manufacturer, changes in the needed structural work, and the challenging inspectors we have in our county. To be honest, the biggest mistake we had in the entire project was that the pairing contractor's person started to paint some trim with the wrong color and Daniel's foreman discovered it and checked with us and had it corrected right away. When the biggest mistake is paint color...you can really feel like you made a great choice in contractor._x000D_|_x000D_|We are delighted with our house. It is now cozy, warm, solid, energy efficient....as well as beautiful.

Overall, it went great. We love, love, love the finished house. We purchased it knowing it would need some major work, and delayed the closing to use the time to plan the work, as the seller was very gracious about allowing us access. Daniel was among the four companies we got bids from. Of those, he was one of two we seriously considered. The other was a design/build company that is well rated on Angie's List, and we thought they would likely do a fine job. However, we chose Daniel even though he was more expensive as we felt that we would be more involved in the process and that the finished quality would be higher. We were not disappointed at all. Daniel recommended an architect for the project, and they were excellent. He also brought all the subcontractors in early and we got to meet them - they all were very professional. Fortunately, we were able to stay in our old house while work was done on the new one. Everything was ready to go when we closed on the house. 
And go to it did. The very next day they were on site starting demolition, and by the end of the week there was a big hole in the kitchen that eventually turned into a big bay window. Construction proceeded apace for three and a half months. Daniel had his crew there every single day, as well as subcontractors as needed. He did a great job coordinating all the work, and we kept busy making sure that we had chosen all the materials he needed. While there were some oddities about how our house was constructed that caused changes in the plan, Daniel handled those with grace.  Even things that went wrong were taken care of, for example when the painters accidentally primed some wood paneling we were planning on not painting due to the cost - Daniel got them to paint it all at no additional charge. Everything finished right on time and within the budget we had agreed upon in advance, absent some changes we asked for along the way. We couldn't ask for much more than that, and the high-quality of the work was just a bonus.
A few words about Daniel - his background and formal training is in construction and building (in Switzerland, where he is from), and he is very experienced in the area. He is laid back and easy to deal with, and kept us very involved in the process, which worked for us (the other contractors had more of a "choose some stuff from our showroom, and we will have you over when it was done"). In fact, he had us out at the site almost every day to go over what had been done the day before and what was being done that day and in the future. That let us catch problems early and have a say in how to fix them. He also only works on one site at a time, and while we were waiting together one day for something, he told me how he had to pass up some higher paying work because he had already committed his time elsewhere. This just shows his high level of integrity. 
 
He has great subcontractors. They did high-quality work.
I would absolutely recommend Daniel for other work, and have already done so. We happen to be done for a while, though we have some other smaller projects we will ask Daniel to bid on in the future.

Pre Construction:  Daniel focused on our needs and listened to us.  He worked with us to effectively value engineer the project to fit in our budget by educating us on all the items and how each would effect the end result of the construction.

During Construction:  Daniel was on site every day and if needed would meet with us to review the progress and to inform us of coming events.  We were very informed throughout the entire process.  They started the project on time and finished on time and within budget.  They kept our house amazingly clean, especially given the amount of work we had done.

Post Construction:  The quality of the construction is excellent and seamlessly flows the existing portions of the house.  Daniel was happy to provide contact information for his suppliers and sub contractors for a couple of items we needed to have done after construction.  Now, 6 months after completion, Daniel remains available and responsive to answer questions and make recommendations.

I would absolutely use Daniel again in the future and have recommended him to everyone I know who is in need of contracting services.

He and his crew, including Henry (foreman), Walter and Jose are seasoned professionals.  Hard workers, punctual, excellent craftsmen, reliable.  Very honest. I always felt confident I could leave them alone in my home without any problems.  Easy to get hold of/responsive.  Did an excellent job.  Beautiful kitchen.

Their service was great.  They are very conscientious, honest, and hardworking.

I first contacted Daniel via email to ask about this job, and although he was busy with other projects, he came out early one morning to take a look at the tiny hole in my bedroom closet ceiling that served as the entrance to my attic. I told him what I needed and hoped to have. We tossed around a couple of ideas, and he said he would send me an estimate within the week. I wasn't sure about using Daniel or going with someone else I actually knew, because I thought I might be able to get a really good price from my 'friend' but they were not good about responding to my emails, and Daniel responded to me every time rather quickly! I decided to definitely go with Daniel, even if it might cost me a bit more than getting the 'friend discount' because I was certain he would be reliable. I was right.
Two days before he was to do the job, he called and asked if he could come over to bring the ladder, and also to take one more look at the space just to be sure he would have everything he needed and to remeasure so there would be no surprises. By doing that he discovered that the beams that the stairs were to be installed between were placed a bit too close, so they were going to have to do some work to get them pushed out to make the stairs fit. It was good that he knew that in advance. When the day came for the job, Daniel and his crew showed up bright and early, exactly at the time he said they would, and started right away. As the day went on, I was sure there was no way they were going to finish it all in one day and would have to come back, but they proved me wrong! And they even finished up at a normal 'end of the day' time - 5:00. I was very happy with the job, and his whole crew. They were friendly and courteous and worked very hard! I baked them some cookies at the end of their day to thank them!!
I would happily recommend Daniel to anyone needing any kind of work done inside their home. I hope to be able to have him help me with some additional projects in the coming year.

I contacted Daniel to remodel my basement after receiving several estimates from other contractors. He was professional, courteous and knowledgable. His estimate was affordable in my price range. The contract was clear and concise. We discussed at length the responsibilities of the contractor and homeowner so I completely understood what materials or services I needed to provide for the work to begin and continue. We decided to use Daniel as the remodeling contractor and I would recommend his work to others. He provided several ideas including placement of the sink/toilet and shower in the bathroom and paint options. His schedule was maintained and finished the job on time.

He provided several references to flooring, fixtures, carpet, doors and other items so that I could research on my own. Our basement was unfinished so we started from scratch. His workers were punctual and courteous even bringing their own microwave for lunch as not to disturb the homeowner. They worked quickly and cleaned up after each day. The subcontractors were courteous and punctual as well (sometimes early) working very quickly to finish the job. The quality of the work was excellent. Daniel responded very quickly to any changes, modifications, questions I had by personally taking of care of the issue or having his subs respond to any issues. For example, the doors were installed with brass hinges. I sent Daniel an email asking if they could be replaced with nickel hinges. Without question, the next morning, his workers were replacing the hinges and door knobs with the nickel type. This attention to detail and attention to the homeowner is why I would use Daniel Krienbuehl contractors again.

I cannot imagine a more professional experience. Daniel is extremely knowledgeable about construction and inspires complete confidence in his clients. Together we worked out the redesign of what was originally an outdoor enclosed porch to a real addition of living space to our home. Daniel's crew was a pleasure to work with. They are skilled craftsmen, but also very pleasant to get to know. Everyone came on time, was responsive to our needs, respectful of the property (e.g., meticulous clean-up each day), and worked as a team. The job was completed on time and on budget. We will absolutely contact with Daniel Krienbuehl the next time we have remodeling to be done. This was the best experience we have ever had in many decades of repair to three different homes.

I'm very satisfied with the outcome of the project. The work was completed with excellent quality and attention to detail. Daniel's team arrived on time every day and worked meticulously every day to get the project done. They worked extra hours during a window of good weather to ensure that the old roof was removed and a new roof was back on before it rained. There were several tricky aspects to the project including re-pitching the joists, and ensuring that the edges of the roof that abut to the exterior brick wall and around the railing supports were completely sealed. This was all expertly done. I really felt that the team was working as if it was their own home. They were even very contentious about locking the door in the evening when they left for the day when no one was home. The recent severe rainstorm was the first time in a while that I've not been concerned about the integrity of my roof.

After seeing 7 contractors for planning and estimates- decided on DK because price was reasonable, liked Daniel's work style and ethics. Sure glad I did! He started (and finished) the job on time and was a pleasure to work with throughout the project. Finished basement included about 1200 sq. ft, additional electric, new windows and door, full bathroom including shower and tile,laminate flooring, stair case. During the process, Daniel was patient and helped with planning- was very accommodating and took his time to answer all questions. His team came to work early everyday and worked all day. Subcontractors (plumbing & electric) were great. The site was cleaned up every day and organized. I cannot say enough good things about my experience here in this space. I had no challenges with Daniel and his team. I have no regrets and the basement area is beautiful. Not included in my initial project was installation of laminate floor which he did too. Great! I will absolutely work with him again and highly recommend his services.

Start was delayed because I was unaware/Mtgy County neglected to tell me of the setback increase of 12' for a 36' wide outbldg facing the property line. I hired a property survey, relocated the garage, & Daniel obtained county approval. Daniel subcontracted the foundation & concrete floor. I requested, & received, a very smooth floor. Electrical work to meet code, and installation of 2 overhead doors was my responsibility; Daniel suggested vendors. The garage has a shingle roof, vinyl outer walls, & ventilation from the sofits to the ridge vent. Daniel always kept appointments, was punctual and helpful, as were his workers. The service door & windows installed by Daniel's firm lock precisely & operate smoothly. Daniel made suggestions for insulation (not included in his work). All work appears to be professional-grade.

The job was performed on time and with minimal fuss. The work was high quality and issues that arose during the renovation were brought up on a timely basis. The suggestions were helpful and we felt they were real and important issues. They cleaned up and removed all debris after the job. We would and have recommended Daniel to others. Also, we have asked him to add a deck to the porch room this summer.

We started remodeling our kitchen 2 1/2 years ago and the project was never completed due to unforeseen circumstances. Daniel stepped in and finished the job. He came every morning and reviewed the work to be done that day and was very pleasant to deal with. His crew was very hard working and dedicated to doing a good job. There were a few minor glitches with the painting and a crooked switch plate but there was no problem getting them to return and fix things. I gave a "B" for responsiveness only because there was a little delay in ordering some extra tiles that were needed. However, emailing requests did work well and we were very happy with the end result.

Daniel and his people are excellent. Very professional. They are punctual. They take a great deal of pride in their work. This is the second job they have done for me. They did a garage and mud room, and I called them back to do the screen room which also involved putting on a new roof and working on my existing roof. I highly recommend them. I would use them again. They also built storage under my deck for me on this job. I felt I got an overall good price on this project. They were prompt even when we ran into a problem with the timing. He let me know, he explained to me what was happening. I always felt I knew what was going on. He handled it well. I highly recommend them and would certainly use them again.

It was just a great experience. Daniel is incredibly pleasant to work with as is his team. He is very professional and punctual. In addition, he has nice suggestions for how to handle some issues where we were looking for deisgn advice in addition to just construction. Very trustworthy. Would we use him again?Yes. We are going to have him do another room in our house this fall.

Daniel was extremely professional from the start. He walked through the entire area with us and came up with an idea for the final floor plan that we had not considered before (and we eventually adopted). He was timely with his estimate, and was nonplussed when we came back with changes and additions. The work started when he promised and finished when he promised, and the crew was polite and cleaned up after themselves each day. The final work was top notch. We only had one item on our punch list! Daniel spotted and corrected any problems before we could say anything, and he went above and beyond what we expected by doing small things like mounting the flat-screen TV, adding lights to the closets that turn on automatically when the doors open, and even cutting a whole in our new entertainment shelves to accommodate the plugs. Daniel himself is a good man who is honest and easy to work with. I highly recommend Daniel for any home improvement work, and we'll use him again.

Dan was delightful to work with from the beginning, starting with incredible attention to courtesy at all times. He helped us decide exactly how to do the job and then delivered exactly what we requested and what he promised. Dan went out of his way to introduce me to his subcontractors and make sure I knew what they would be doing. A few "punch list" items were promptly and cheerfully disposed of without the nagging that can frequently be required. This was a model of how a home-renovation project could go, principally because the people doing it were first-class and honest.

I found him on Angie's List. He was rated an A, and I would give him an A as well. He did a beautiful job. He showed up every morning at 7:30 on time. He and the two people he works with were very conscientious, reliable, and polite. They were really good to work with. Overall, they were fabulous. They cleaned up their mess and did everything on time and within budget. The pricing was very fair. It was a big addition. I hope he will come back and do more.

I love Daniel! He is honest and very flexible! I had an issue with my health and ended up in Hawaii for two months to recuperate. In that time, he said he completely understood and he rearranged his schedule to work around mine. He just said to let him know when I got back. We have been in contact with each other and he has said if he has a break in his contract he would finish our one bathroom and then he would do our other projects. The fact that he's been so flexible with me is one of the reasons I am continuing to work with him. His prices are very competitive and reasonable. I like the fact that he is here while the work is actually being done. He has very good ideas and is open to ideas. Some contractors blew me off and treated me as a child. When I came up with an idea of a pocket door, Daniel thought it was great and offered to work around it. He really listens to the client. If I have an idea that might not work, he'll explain why and the cost. I can't say enough about him! I would recommend him to anybody.

Daniel and his workers, Harry and Walter, did an exceptional job in enclosing a screen porch in preparation for expanding our kitchen and bathroom. He gave a prompt and accurate estimate and started the work exactly on the decided date. The workers showed up promptly at 7:30 am every day and cleaned up at the end of each day. Having a 90 year house meant that there were unexpected problems, and Daniel solved each one in turn without fuss or agitation. Poor construction from a previous addition (about 1943) required special structural reinforcement, which was done well. The sag in the outside corner was corrected without causing cracking of upstairs walls. Daniel had a subcontractor come in and build new basement walls. The subcontractor was also prompt, did excellent work, and cleaned up well. The work was completed within a day or two of the original schedule.

Daniel was a pleasure to work with; very professional, flexible and committed to our satisfaction. His proposal was simple, understandable, and delivered in a low-key, non-pressured way. When we hit some glitches in the installation plan, which invariably occurs in any significant project, Daniel worked out a solution and provided additional services without affecting the bottom line; when our plan to stain one door didn't result in something we liked, he went back and painted instead, resulting in a perfect solution. Daniel's work team was friendly and neat in their work; we felt comfortable having them in our house. We could not have been happier with Daniel and definitely would use him again for home remodeling projects.

They crew is just wonderful people, and they are very easy to work with. They were very fair, flexible, and skillful. We agreed on what he was going to do for the downstairs job months before the job started. Even with the gas prices that went so high this summer, he didn't change his bid! I am always pleased with the outcome of his services, and I would recommend his services to anybody. I would use him again for any future projects.
