General Remodeling
$140,000

I did not use them and ended up not doing any business with them. The reason I did not use them was because the estimate went from $80,000 for the project to $120,000 and then up again to $130,000 or even $140,000 over the multiple times I met with them so I just stopped talking with them. I don't think the service was necessarily bad; I think the gentleman I worked with was unknowledgeable about his field so there was a lot of confusion. I don't think they were being dishonest and unethical; I think the particular gentleman I worked with just kind of not very experienced in the field that I wanted to do.

Response from DFW Improved

"We met with the client on multiple occasions. We tried very hard to get him to the price that would work for him however after much discussion we determined we could not do the scope of work the client was asking for for the budget he had established. Our Sales Consultant even met him at our showroom after hours to show the client the numbers and still could not come to a resolution that worked for both parties."

My wife and I recently decided to do a total remodel of our master bathroom. Our first step was to go to Angie's List and select the top four "Remodeling - Kitchen & Bathroom" contractors, based on "Recent Grade A to F."  DFW Improved was second on that list.
Juan Benitez -- DFW Improved Sales Consultant -- responded quickly to or request for an estimate. He was the last of the top four contractors to review our plans and submit an estimate.  He came to our home on a Friday afternoon (11/7/2014) and submitted his proposal one week later (11/14/2014) by email.
 Unfortunately, his proposal was totally incomplete.  It didn't include several major aspects of the remodel which we had discussed in great detail -- replacing our existing vanity counter top with a quartz counter top with rectangular sinks, removing all the wallpaper and texturing/painting the walls, and removing the popcorn texture from the ceiling. He also told us that we would not be able to install a piece of frameless glass on the shower curb without first building a column all the way to the ceiling to secure it the other three contractors assured us that that would not be necessary. We specifically requested porcelain tile and epoxy grout. His proposal specified "Silver level" tile, with no mention of the type of grout to be used.
In spite of these important omissions and unnecessary additions, DFW Improved's estimate was roughly $6,000 more than the highest qualified bidder! 
I received Juan's DFW Improved proposal on a Friday and responded immediately with the above concerns. The following Monday, I received an email from Juan, asking me to remove DFW Improved from my list of potential contractors. Of course, I had already done that.
Response from DFW Improved

"Sales representative was early to appointment and had to wait for homeowner to arrive. Meeting was short and very little detail was provided. DFW Improved sales consultant provided the homeowner information about our our scope of work includes designer services at which point all material would be selected with the designer as DFW Improved Showroom. As homeowner points out, DFW Improved was last contractor with whom project was discussed and items that may have been discussed with others earlier may not have been re-iterated at this appointment. Proposal was provided in the timeframe that DFW Improved sales consultant promised. Overall, even at appointment it seemed that homeowner had already been sold on another company as some materials had already been picked out. Response to proposal was received from homeowner with several demands to make DFW Improved proposal fit another proposal or demands that were new to the scope of work. DFW Improved Sales Consultant understood homeowner was trying to or was asked by another company to manage their own project by running around town and picking out items themselves. At that time DFW Improved Sales Consultant expressed to the homeowner the current project scope would not be a fit to what DFW Improved offers and how we have our project completed. Price is different because comparison was made with a company that is asking customer to do a lot of work, provide their own services and perhaps even provide materials and this is not a fair comparison between companies. DFW Improved is a full service General Contractor that provides full showroom support, Project Manager at Job site, full coordination of project, all materials and trades and warranty backed by a warranty manager. This is the formula that has made DFW Improved the award winning company and the largest remodeler in Texas. We wish homeowner the best of luck in managing their own project."

They were overpriced and would not come and correct the work that he did. He did a terrible job, it was the worst job that we had seen, yet he sounded the most qualified, and he didn't come and correct it.
Response from DFW Improved

"We have no record of this member or their address. We would like the client/member to reach out to our company directly to discuss their experience further. We are working with Angie’s List to have the review moved to the proper profile as we feel the member is confusing our company with another contractor."

DFW did a great job. Their subs showed up on time for the most part. Scott Pace, their project manager, was very helpful and cheerfully took care of the few minor glitches that came up. He even suggested a few ideas for improvements, especially a back splash design for behind the stove. The cabinet man added a trim element that looks like short legs at the bottom of the cabinets making them look like furniture. We were looking for a simple crown moulding for the top of the cabinets but the style we liked wasn't available. Once again the cabinet man figured out a way to make a perfect substitute in his shop. We have used our kitchen for over a year and haven't had any hidden problems. If anything we're more happy with the kitchen now than we were when it was first finished.

DFW Improved was awesome. Garrett, our sales person was super knowledgeable and responsive. Miguel was a great project manager and kept everyone on track, on time and within budget. Quality was top notch and the price was very competitive based on other vendors who bid on our project.
We will defiantly use DFW Improved for any/all future home remodeling or painting work.

I have never worked with such incredible contractors before! Corey and Tony were our contacts at DFW Improved, and you could not have more helpful, responsive, polite and friendly people to work with. The work performed is perfect, right through to matching a faux finish look that I thought was going to be really difficult to do. The way the work is undertaken is amazing. The teams protected our home each time they came in, sealing off areas with plastic sheeting so literally NO dust went anywhere while they were cutting away the old beam, removing plaster board etc. It really was quite astounding to watch the amount of care they took to look after everything, minimize any mess, and minimize any inconvenience. DFW Improved use different specialists for each part of the project and the teams really know their work, which gave me great confidence. They also scheduled the teams so efficiently it was like watching a finely choreographed dance! Just as one team finished, the next was here! Our projects took about 3 weeks to complete, and as we could not be here all the time they set us up with a lockbox on the front door. This worked really well, and I didn't worry about not being at home because the crews they use have been with them for years. My faith was well placed, there were no problems. I will absolutely be using DFW Improved again. I'm SO happy to have finally found a reliable good quality contractor who can take on any project no matter how big or small.

Our beautiful home developed water leaks around an upstairs window and a box seat/window directly downstairs in the breakfast area.  Since the issue was only manifested by a certain kind of rain pattern, we were not able to diagnose the problem.  This went on for years.   Three years ago, we hired a contractor (not from Angie's List) to help us find and fix the leaks but ended up paying LOTS of money for nothing.  We had thought all was well because it had rained and rained without any leaks.  However, the special rain pattern did occur and we realized that the leak had not been addressed.  Now what do we do?  Since we had already been "burned" by the last experience, and, since we didn't have the knowledge ourselves on how to find and fix our issue, we were very cautious about selecting someone new. 

We did our homework by studying Angie's List and the BBB.  We narrowed our selection to (3) companies.  We chose DFW Improved for (2) reasons:  1)  We reviewed the BBB to see how DFW Improved resolved conflicts--we found only one such case and we were impressed how DFW took the customer's perspective and resolved the issue by exceeding expectations.   2) We sensed during his inspection process that Jason was viewing our problem as if it were his.  Later we would discover that each of the (3) specialized teams sent to do the work displayed the same ownership. 

Jason and his team leak tested the entire area using a water hose/ sprayer to locate the root cause of the leak(s).  Next, their specialized teams corrected the construction on the outside to seal our home.  They returned the next day and leak tested the entire area to verify their fix.  We were with them side-by-side the entire time, not because we were skeptical, but because we had been fighting this battle for years and wanted to understand the root cause.  DFW Improved seemed eager to have us right there at every step.  Obviously, our confidence was soaring when we could see with our own two eyes that ALL the leak(s) had been addressed!  Finally the team inside replaced the sheet rock, retextured and repainted the walls.  Our home looks beautiful!  Wow!

Words can't describe how important resolving this issue is to our family.  But DFW Improved seemed to understand, and they gave us their very best work.  Not only did we receive exemplary service, but we made some very good friends.

DFW saved my floors. They were wrecked by another company, so I hired DFW Improved to refinish the floors from scratch. The final result was phenomenal and I was so relieved that the train wreck was over with. In this line of work you get what you pay for so I will not argue with the price because the quality of the floors couldn't be better. I was very thankful on how punctual they were and they even fit around my schedule to have it done in three days. If anyone is considering hiring DFW Improved, I highly recommend them.

The estimator was two days late in providing us with the quote, which came in astronomically higher than our budget (nearly $29k vs. $15k) and did not line item out the additional work we asked them to quote.  I responded asking for a specific price on a smaller scope of work to stay within budget and received no response.  Clearly if it doesn't cost 2x the going rate, they aren't interested in doing the work.  We will be using another company that is providing more value for the budget and responds to our requests.

Follow up to Company Response:
I am not looking to trash this company, in fact I really had high hopes for them in the beginning.  Unfortunately I must point out that their response below is not accurate.  During our on-site meeting to scope out the work, they made absolutely no indication that it would be challenging to do the work for the budget I suggested, or even that it they couldn't do half of the work for that price.  I never "insisted" that they write up a quote anyway... had I known they were going to be twice my budget I would have thanked them for their time and sent them on their way.  The budget is what it is and their rates are what they are; there's no need to make up conversations that never happened.
Response from DFW Improved

"When we met with the client for the initial consultation his expectations were way off from what we could produce the project he wanted. Our staff explained to him that would could not deliver the full master bath he wanted for the budget he had in mind. The homeowner & our staff member even discussed that it would be challenging to do half the bathroom for that price, but he insisted that our staff member write up the proposal for the full project. I met with him on Friday 9/26 and told him that he could expect the proposal by the middle of the following week (we emailed it over on the following Thursday). It's unfortunate the grade he gave us is based on the fact that the homeowner's expectation for a DFW Improved delivered project is skewed. We were professional & forthcoming with what we could deliver."

It took four days, as it was a relatively small job, and coordinating all the crews, for each of the steps, couldn't have been easy. I have to compliment all the company's people: Sales Rep Ian McIntosh, Interior Designer Jo Gifford, and Project Manager John Griggs, who were very professional, and communicated very well. The first day, a crew came in, demo'ed the original countertops, pulled out the compactor, and fixed the flooring. As a lagniappe, John had them help me out by repairing my bathroom door. The second day, the cabinet maker delivered, and installed the new cabinet, and also replaced the toe kick throughout. Day 3, the tradesman arrived, and installed the new laminate countertops, and John delivered the new sink & faucet. The last day, the plumber came in, and installed the sink & faucet, and re-connected the garbage disposal and dishwasher. He even ran the dishwasher, to make sure it was set up correctly. The tradesman all did very good work, very professionally.
Overall, I am very happy with this job, and would definitely recommend DFW Improved, to anyone.

Response from DFW Improved

"We admittedly had issue when the shower was demoed in her home & rectified the situation as soon as possible. We took responsibility and preformed all repairs in a timely manner & handled up on the problem we caused. The client seemed to be under unusual amounts of stress as she was renovated this home while she was building another home in another market. We would continue to get mixed signals on her satisfaction with our work as we would leave her home with her smiling and she would literally call us minutes later upset. She would leave town last minute and be gone for weeks at a time to Florida. A huge part of the job was the timetable the client had, which was to have it done by the time her son got home from college for Thanksgiving. As we got closer to a finished product, she decided that she did not like the selections that she had made that were installed. The client would then have us tear out the new shower and replaced it with different selections. Her leave of absence and redoing the shower ultimately cost us time and money and the deadline wasn't met. We are surprised with this negative review seeing as when we closed the job out and got her final approval, she gave our project manager a hug and wrote a sweet letter of appreciation."

It was very good. Their pricing was on par with other estimates I got. Their professionalism was far and away from other people who I had gotten estimates from. Their communication was excellent. When I made modifications midway through, they were very accommodating. It took 5 days and the cleanup went really well. I would absolutely use them again.

It went really well. We would definitely recommend them. We used them over the span of a couple of months and they finished in June. They were willing to work with us. There were a couple of other things we wanted to get done that were not covered by the insurance and they worked with us. They were really good. They really did come through at the end.
