D was fantastic to work with from the beginning. He answered my inquiry for work immediately and helped me every step along the way. As a new homeowner, I had some big gaps in my understanding for how to push a project like ours along. If I ever had questions, he was available to help. We waited a long time for the materials to arrive and D had planned perfectly to be ready to get going as soon as they showed up. As with most home projects, as we got into it weird things popped up we didnt expect. We negotiated on the changes to our contract together and D handled the new aspects beautifully. We're very happy with the new additions to our house and would absolutely work with Artistic D-Zine again.

My bathroom looks AMAZING!! Above and beyond! It went from a sad, dingy little place to a fancy palace! D had great ideas and made it better than I ever could have hoped. I’m so happy with it!!

D was absolutely amazing. Not only did he create exactly what we envisioned, he went above and beyond with the whole process down to handling some crazy twists and turns our old house threw at him on the way (i.e. removing a window entirely, crooked wall, etc). From start to finish, D was so great to work with - clear and personable communication, very time efficient (so fast for one-man job!), and treated our home with care through the whole process. You wouldn't even know we recently had a wall demo'd and replaced. Honestly, our main-closet is one of the nicest things in our house now - fit with custom shelves and all! It looks beyond amazing - thank you x100000 to D. Already we're looking towards future projects / remodels in our house and wouldn't hesitate to hire D again.

Damiel is a contractor with the mind of an artist. He will listen to your vision for a project, add to it, and articulate it in ways you couldn’t have imagined. The detail in his work is unmatched, and has been flawless all three times we have hired him. My family and I are so grateful to have found Damiel, and if you are lucky enough to book him I highly recommend doing so.

We called D for a second job in Nov. 2021 when a water leak in the crawl space caused damage to subfloor, beams, and ductwork in two bedrooms and a bathroom. Using pumps, fans and dehumidifier D worked tirelessly to clean crawl space and rebuild the areas damaged. Knowing we would need new floors, bath tub, tile, and paint we worked with his wife Michelle to design the remodel. With her help we picked out flooring, tile, and paint colors to be used. She was fantastic at helping us make decisions and even shopped for a bathroom mirror which fit perfectly. Although this job took months to complete D kept us informed at each step of the process and he understood the importance of doing the job right. Our floors look great with no room to room transitions. The quality of his work showed his attention to detail, but what most impressed us was his honesty in the cost of the project and working with the insurance company. D fought for us in communicating with the insurance company, saving us thousands of dollars to make sure our claim was treated fairly. We would highly recommend D for any remodeling work in the future.

D is AWESOME! We hired D back in March 2021 after a roof leak caused water damage to a bathroom wall. The leak also caused mold from the moisture in the attic. After cleaning the attic of mold and removing damaged insulation D also tore out and repaired damaged walls. We were so pleased with the work D completed and would not hesitate to hire him again, which we did…..

D- Zine knocked it out of the park. This was my first major remodel job as a homeowner and after getting a few bids from others I felt that D did the best to really see how my space could be transformed. When he did the initial bid he was doing it with an apprentice who was polite and it was awesome to see D showing him the little details that he saw needed done. Some of the things were very obvious to him, but I didn't even notice until he pointed them out. I live in a home built in 1900 that has had too many remodels done by shoddy builders. After he took a look at the space he got back to me in about a week with a general estimate that was very fair. He communicated with me that there were a few jobs ahead of mine and that he would be taking some time off that was planned as well. After a couple of weeks I reached out to him and he gave me a good timeline and communicated dates to me well. He was also very accommodating to work around the schedule of my partner who works from home and needed the house to be free of noise. The wall that was removed was structural to the support and he knocked it down with ease, scraped the rest of the living room dry wall, rewired the electric, did the window trim, mudded the ceiling and walls, and applied trim to the new support, all while being very clean and working by himself. It was a 5 day project that went over the weekend. He is seriously a one man army. Most contractors I talked to would have had a handful of guys working this job. D made it a point to communicate with me everything that was going on, which I really appreciated. Overall, D is a big guy with the personality to match. Honest, hardworking, and really really cares about the job that he does. If your house is a multi-million dollar home or a 300k starter house, you will be in good hands. I would absolutely hire D-Zine again if needed.

This was the worst contractor I have ever hired. He walked off the job in the middle of it after I had paid him most of what he wanted for the job. He complained constantly: how hard the job was, how many bags of debris he had to remove, how anxious he felt, that the walls were not straight, that he was too hot, etc. On day 3 he fired his assistant, who was working really hard. The next day he complained about how "stressed out" he was that he didn't have his assistant's help. He damaged my heater grill, he went on vacation for 3 weeks, he threatened me, and after he returned from his vacation, he brought the shower door to my house, picked up his things and left. He seemed incapable of listening. He also dismissed, discounted, and denied my concerns when I tried to express them. He moved a wall 1.5" that I definitely did not want moved, as it made a closet on the opposite side of it smaller. The closet was already too small before he did this. He couldn't figure out how to connect the light over the shower so the switch would work properly, but he was unwilling to hire an electrician to do it. He left the following items unfinished: shower door not installed, damaged flooring around shower that he was supposed to patch, hole in ceiling where light should have been installed, non-functioning switch, register over hvac duct not installed, another layer of grout that should have been applied, but wasn't, and baseboard and trim that he removed, not replaced. This guy was loud and disrespectful, frequently talking over me so that he did not hear what I said. I am filing a complaint with the CCB.

I have been super impressed! Artistic Dzine has done great work and is super creative especially in an old house. He heard what I wanted and brought great ideas for how to keep our bathroom simple and be classy and unique. With my project there has been no problem he hasn't figured out and he's gone above and beyond. He is prompt, super pleasant to work with, very kind and respectful with me and his team. He does fabulous work! Additional:Michelle, collaborating with D, was fantastic in guiding us through choosing fixtures, tiles, flooring, a new tub and toilet for our remodel. She listened to what we thought we liked and brought options and suggested some ideas we hadn't considered. Because of her guidance through this process, we're even more thrilled with the results. She made something super stressful so much more manageable.

D was Awesome! before even giving a quote for the work D did more due diligence than any of the other of many contractors we contacted. He looked through the crawlspace and even (with permission) carefully took apart some existing siding to discover that the wall behind it was solid concrete. He helped us think of problems that might arise during the project and how to deal with them in advance so that there would be fewer surprises. D has an eye for detail and put in extra work at no charge to fix up some things that weren't in the original bid in order for the finished work to be perfect. D worked hard and got things done quickly and professionally. I definitely recommend him and expect to have him do more work on my house in the future.

I appreciate the trust you showed in me to get it done right for you. I'll look forward to moving through the house in the future, completing each area and giving you all the home your anxiously waiting for. And last of all, I really appreciate the gift of the AMAZING rare scotch and chocolates!!!!!??"

D did an amazing job on our deck. We received a few estimates and he had the best price by far. He is very friendly and honest and does impeccable work. He finished our deck in a few days as promised even with some delays that came up as we went along. I would highly recommend D for any construction project.

D is amazing! When he came out to give a quote, he thoroughly explained everything. No one else did. He kept me informed of everything going on. I am thrilled with the work he did. My back stairs are the best feature of the house! For all future projects I will be calling D and recommending him to everyone.

Excellent work!! They helped us with design ideas and choices. Showed various options to help with the design remodel. They documented in estimate all work and called out specific items that may need to be addressed after flooring and trim work were removed. They continuously kept us informed during the job of any issues as well as suggestions for solutions. Our 25 year old house looks beautiful and brand new! Great job with cleanup after remodel. Professional friendly attitudes throughout the project. Would definitely use again! They received the mother-in-law seal of approval as well which is very hard to get!!

D is a hard and thorough worker with a good eye; he's also a great guy. (Bit of a talker : ) His price was comparable to others, but he broke things down the way I asked, and pointed out problem spots, so I was confident that we wouldn't have surprises and scope creep for the price. He had a personnel mishap through no fault of his own which pushed the work and timing back a bit, but he really hustled to fulfill his commitment to us. While some of the seaming isn't as perfect as we (and he) would like it to be, I know how grueling our job ended up being and the pressure he was under, and I never doubted that he'd take care of us. Would definitely hire him back...D we need to make our basement bathroom sing on a dime! Let me know when you have an opening. : )
Response from Artistic D-Zine Construction Inc.
"Hello. Thank you for the feedback. I would be happy to come back and touch up any areas that need a little help. As we both know smooth finish ceilings are very hard to do and sometimes after painting areas can show themselves. So I will have no problem coming back soon to remedy that. You know that I want to do the best work so I'll take care of that. I would also be happy to look at what we can do with the bathroom while I'm there. Thank you both for your patients while I was there. I really appreciate you guys and will look forward to working with you again soon."

Damiel was absolutely amazing. He did not just 'do' everything we asked for, and fit us into his in-demand schedule on late notice- he went above and beyond in the performance of his work, as well as the execution. He thought through every possible incarnation of how we would use what we asked for, and made modifications to make the additions not just the functional we were looking frr, but a joy to look at, and use in ways we wouldn't expect to need them. Examples include a framing of a dog door in such a way that it's usefulness would allow for cat and dog use. Also, in adding a fenced wall with a gate, he considered how the gate attaches to the garage in an unnoticeable way and hooks open when we need to move furniture or large items into our out of the driveway. Also all the work he did was non-invasive and added not just function, but pleasure in its thoughtfulness. Thanks Damiel! I'd highly recommend him.

Met with D (Damiel) after receiving several bids for the work. We discussed the job and D took measurements and photos of existing trim for matching. Work began and, to be expected, we ran in to a couple snags which added time and complexity to the job. D and I did some joint problem solving and came up with some creative, and in the end, satisfying solutions to the problems. To get the job done, D had excellent help from his son Demren (also known as 'D', but NOT 'Little D'), who did a spectacular job taping and mudding the interior bedroom wall (no sanding required!), and also from Lee who did a great job on the interior finish window trim. D and his crew were all engaging and expressive and a pleasure to work with. These guys get it done and I would certainly work with them again.

Damiel replaced all the soffits and edge boards on my 1960s Ranch. It turned out to be a much more complicated job than envisioned because the soffits hid supporting structures--linking the house and soffit—that were poorly attached or NOT attached at all! Damiel attached, trimmed, and added supports to ensure the soffit boards were installed perfectly. His meticulous work ensures that my soon to-be-installed gutters have a straight, perfect surface for attachment. The cost of the entire project was very fair. What I most appreciate about Damiel is the quality of his work, but I also appreciate the good ideas he had to “polish” the job. I pride myself on my taste and seldom ask for opinions; however, he had great ideas that I approved on how to light the front porch AND a trim detail for the porch ceiling to hide the lines where the plywood sheets joined—subtle as they were. Damiel was adamant about delivering an excellent job and did not cut corners. He worked until 9p the final night to do a cladding of my new support posts—the last, cosmetic touch. A last minute decision. Not urgent. Could have delayed for weeks or months when he would be back in the area, but he stayed late because he did not want to leave until the project was finished perfectly. I could not be more pleased with the outcome of the job. It was great luck to find Damiel among all the potential contactors. I hope Damiel is available when I’m ready to remodel my main bathroom or have another remodeling project. It will be much less stressful working with someone who has his dedication to quality.

Great, D had to do a little research to match current windows on my house. They look great. I appreciate that he is into the details.

We had D remodel our master bathroom and we couldn't be happier. It took awhile for us to connect and get things going, but I was not in a rush and I knew he had another job he was working on. I really only wanted the master bathroom done, but he suggested that we run the same flooring throughout the master bedroom as well to tie the rooms together. And it looks great. He completed the bedroom first so we didn't have to sleep in another room too long. I relied on him for his great design suggestions. The project included new flooring, baseboards, shower (tile work, new door, raised shower head), tile around bath, countertop and backsplash, new lighting, mirror, and painted and raised the vanity. His wife also helped us choose the tile, colors and the mirror to pull everything together. D's craftsmanship, attention to details (he got rid of all the squeaks in the floor), work ethic and good attitude made our first remodel such a good experience. The project took about 3.5 weeks to complete. We would definitely call on D again. Oh, we did! He will be redoing the kid's bathroom soon.

We needed a rebuild of our old medium-sized deck. Damiel of Artistic D-Zine came out the next day to assess what was already there and presented an estimate along with a terrific design. He let us know that the foundation was fully intact which saved a lot of money. There were unforseen issues but all was handled skillfully. He also made changes that made the new deck much more structurally sound. Despite the high heat that week, he and his crew worked non-stop. He was transparent during the process, if changes were needed and always gave cost saving options. It was apparent that "D" has master building knowledge, advanced cutting skills and, of course, terrific artistic design. What's nice, too, is that he and his crew are pleasant, honest and professional. The finished product is a gift that keeps on giving. My husband wants to live on the deck and thinks that it's the nicest part of our house. We really appreciate all D and crew accomplished for us!

I hired Artistic D-Zine to refinish our back deck & they were awesome. Demren sanded & stained the deck, including all of the detail around the railing. Damiel replaced the post tops for us as well. They were punctual, efficient, professional & performed excellent work. I would definitely hire them again.

We have used Artistic D-Zine a few times now and continue to be blown away with the results. The last project consisted of a variety of minor repairs and Damiel & Demren were punctual, thorough, professional and efficient. I haven't come across a need that has been out of their wheelhouse, is there anything these guys can’t do? The other quality that separates from another skilled contractor is the creativity & passion that D brings to a job. We asked for ideas to improve an area of our family room, and D not only helped with the concept, but he designed a custom mantle, picked the colors and built beautiful custom shelves. Damiel & Demron take ownership of the job they are doing, as if it were for their own house, and the results show. We are very thankful to have found Artistic D-Zine and cannot recommend them strongly enough.
Response from Artistic D-Zine Construction Inc.
"Thanks guys for having us back and trusting my ideas. It really came together great. I appreciate you putting ip the before and after pictures. See ya again soon when we come back to refinish the back decks and rails. Thanks for the review."

The process was slower than expected. The original quote include additional items like sand and feeders that didn’t end up being included. The quality and design was very good. I ended up paying more than the additional quote.
Response from Artistic D-Zine Construction Inc.
"I'm sorry you feel that way. First I would like you to look back on the estimate and see that the feeders were never included. Also the price change was only because of the design changing. We added the lower storage area, sheet vinyl inside, and 2 doors for getting the eggs, which deviated from the original design picture you sent me to use for the estimate. Therefore the price change. I'm sorry that I missed the sand. I would be happy to come put it in. I know it took a bit longer than I expected to complete but I was under the impression that you not only were not in a huge rush, but that you knew that we were dealing with being very sick during your job. This slowed the process by several days I'll agree. I know we did the best we could like we always do. I'm at least glad that the final product was to your liking."

Amazing drywall work. We removed a small wall in the hallway, and had Artistic D-zine patch the ceiling drywall. You cannot see the patch in any way. He also repaired walls where an old chair rail was removed, and re-drywalled a small closet. Highly recommend!
