Founded 2004 • With Angi since January 2012
DeLano Home Improvements is owned and operated by me, Chad DeLano. I live in Fairview with my wife and four boys. I am also a firefighter with the city of Fairview and volunteer for the Williamson County Rescue Squad. Born and raised in Michigan, I moved to Tennessee in June of 2007 to work for The Porch Company. After working for The Porch Company for 2 years I decided to open my own remodeling company. I have been in the construction field for 20 years. After years of working for contractors that would cut corners and take advantage of people, I decided that it was time to have "Quality Craftsmanship for an Honest Price." Our goal is to be the company you call whenever you need a project done, and the company you tell your neighbor about for the wonderful work we did. We try to make whatever project we are doing run as smoothly as possible. When we leave the job we want you to be happy and notice only the wonderful work we did, not the mess left behind by construction crews. We know you spent time trying to get the right company for your project, so we do the job right the first time so you don't have to waste your time. Our guarantee is that you will be happy when we leave the job.

Would not make small repair of wood rot on door frame, just wanted to sell a complete install. Door works fine, just needed some trim replaced. Wanted to sell me a new door and install.

I didn't want to repair the door because that would be just putting a bandaid on it. I want fix stuff the right way. This is the second bad review you have given me but yet youn don't call me to discuss what you want done. The first review you said I didn't call you back when in fact I tried to get a hold of you several times. I am more than willing to work with my customers and make them happy but they need to communicate with me. Never once did you send me an e mail or call and say you just want to repair the door. I bid what I thought needed to be done to make it right.Katie S.

It didn't. He is much too busy to be selling "specials". Waste of money. I wasted my money and I will not waste my time giving you details. Seems like a nice guy but is too busy with a big business to do small jobs.
Description of Work
He has been too busy to do my job, I bought the Angie's list special of 2 hours of woodworking for I think $79.00. He called in February and wanted to come by one day and look at it but I had flu. I have been calling back since. In March he told me that he would be here one Saturday between 2 and 4, but he called at 4 and said that he had gotten tied up on another job. Finally he did stop by one day and look at the job and said that he could come back in three weeks and do it. It has been more than two months and I have never heard from him again.

We must have had a mis understanding as I was waiting for a responce from you to let me know what option you wanted and how much it was going to be. I will be happy to come by and get your door fixed.Becky A.

It was an Angie's List Big Deal that I purchased. He never showed up. I reached out to him a couple of times and sent him a picture of what I needed done. I thought it was something simple and he never responded again. He had responded once and said to send him some pictures which I did. I never heard from him again. I sent emails and he said he didn't hear from me but the emails didn't come back. I've only talked to him for about 15 seconds.

The project required a variety of contractor skills and all the work was well done. The time estimate for completion despite the breadth of the project was within one day of estimate. The project took about 2.5 weeks including two days when it rained. Chad and his crew were easy to work with and always left the place clean after work was done for the day. As with any project this size unforeseen things arise and Chad kindly did little extras that cost him a little more without charging us more than what he had quoted for the project. Just an all round good experience with good work at a reasonable price.
Description of Work
The project included preparing the home for new siding by repairing the old wood surface, installing house wrap, and installing new vinyl siding and gable vents. In addition, we had Chad install new light fixtures, replace the boards, steps, and rails on our old deck, and replace a significant portion of an old fence.

I kind of had an idea on how I wanted to look. He also made suggestions on the space. It took him a week to respond to my inquiries. Think our scheduling is off.

They came out a couple of weeks ago to give a quote for framing on a door in a bonus room 4x6 corner.

My story was told in the previous description of the services performed.
Description of Work
Although I purchased the coupon weeks before Chad and I agreed to wait until I was ready to use his services. My work list included replacing two door knobs and locks, and placing weather stripping on doors and windows that needed it. He shopped for the necessary items and was able to complete the work in the two hours I had paid for. One of the doors did not function very well and he willingly returned to fix it. In addition, I asked his advice on two other projects I needed to do and he gave very helpful advice which I appreciated.

We had DeLano come and frame in a closet we were adding to an upstairs room. He worked quickly and efficiently on the project, and the closet was framed perfectly. He had good ideas for how to make it look like it had been there the whole time, and he did a wonderful job. He completed the job in one morning, and the cost was exactly what he had estimated. He picked up the materials and brought them with him, and cleaned up everything afterward. He even recommended someone to do the drywall for us and we liked him a lot as well. We will definitely use him again!!

Chad has done work for us in the past, so we knew what to expect. He simply does what he says he's going to do, when he says he's going to do it. There are never any issues or concerns to worry about with Chad or his subcontractors. He seems to price his work very reasonably. We will use him again.

He was very courteous and punctual. He pointed out some issues that he was able to see once he removed the deck (some rotted wood that the folks that installed the door had not bothered to replace). The trim looks nice and the new gutters keep the rain from dripping down onto the kitchen window.
Description of Work
We initially hired Chad to replace some wood trim around the house as well as install some additional gutters. We were very happy with the work he was doing, so we had him build a new deck on the back of our house, which looks great!

I had the need for "tv room room" for the kids movies, Xbox and whatnot, but I needed a few other details added, we were converting a garage into 2 room. I was in a wheelchair, I needed ADA ramps from the kitchen and also the door to my future bathroom had to be widened. I wanted dimmer, halogen can lights, awesome home theater system and a bad a$$ paint job. My big concern was wanting my space to have style and custom woodwork, his idea to place the railing for the ramps along the wall was right in sync with mine. Chad listens to what to want and makes it happen! We have the coolest theater room EVER!
Description of Work
The garage was closed in, but it had steps from the kitchen, I needed ramps for my wheelchair. I needed a 36" door installed for my future bathroom. The kids needed a home theater room with plenty of space to hang out with friends and have a great family atmosphere. The challenge would be ...could Chad make it awesome!!! Challenge accepted.... He did it ànd we loved it!
