North Hill Construction installed doors to our home office. Dana was very professional and kept us informed through the entire project. The quality of work in which Dana provides is outstanding and elite. He added more appeal and uniqueness to our home. If I could give 10 stars I would. If you are looking for a knowledgeable professional who does high level work, North HIll Construction is definitely the company you should use. We will definitely be using Dana and North Hill Construction again for future projects!

Wonderfully! Dana is a charming and friendly man with an astounding knowledge of historical architecture. He accurately guessed the age of our house in 5 minutes- from the outside- and knew it was built from reclaimed materials from a glance at the boards in the walls. An extremely professional man, he clearly takes great care and pride in what he does. We are absolutely thrilled with the work! 10/10 hands down.

Dana is wonderful to work with! Unfortunately, he has not completed our job yet, because he noticed that the louvered door I had purchased was bowed and would not fit into the door frame properly. He contacted a local dealer to help me find another door, but we ended up ordering one online. He was kind enough to put the old door back into place until the new one arrives and said he would not charge us for his time today. We will definitely have him return to install the new door! Dana is very skilled in working on/restoring older homes, and although our job is small, he has been very kind and willing to help us. He is a pleasure to be around, and even our dog, Ruby, loves having him here!

Dana was great to work with and did a wonderful job. He contacted me promptly after I called him to request an estimate. Once we met and I agreed to hire him, he immediately got to work. I was very impressed with all of his work. He was very diligent, had lots of knowledge when it came to working with older homes (my house was built in 1947), and offered great suggestions. I would definitely hire him again.

Dana replaced batteries in several smoke alarms, but the chirping continued. It took me several days to learn it was a carbon monoxide alarm with low batteries. Because he could not find the cause of the chirping, he did not charge me.

So on a scale of 1 to 10, Dana gets a 15. He swooped in and saved the day on a bathroom remodel that was supposed to be a simple retiling project, but ended up becoming *A*WHOLE*BIG*THING once we discovered rotted joists, walls at absurd angles, and some general insanity caused by a terrible previous remodel. At every step of the way, he showed me exactly what the issues were and talked through all the options, and was always incredibly conscious of time and budget. The man worked weekends, the day after Thanksgiving, the day after Christmas, just to get me finished sooner since he knew we were out of our main bathroom and had no other tub for our 1 year old. He had great suggestions for drastically improving the look of the room with simple additions to trim and other small, affordable aesthetic suggestions. He's an absolute craftsman. It's so hard to find "the guy"-- you know, "the guy" you call for any issue, know he'll handle it fantastically, honestly and for a great price. He does big projects, handy work, anything-- and if it's something he can't do for some reason, he'll be straight with you right away. I would trust him on any/all projects in the future, he's a gem. Also, my dog and baby love him, for what it's worth :)

Dana called very soon after I submitted my request for estimate and asked a few questions, gave a verbal estimate and indicated when he could do the business. We called a few hours later, asked more questions (all this on a Sunday) and set up a time for him to come the next morning to do the work. He showed up on time, was very conscious of corona concerns, walked through the details with us, completed the work efficiently but expertly and cleaned up fully. He was a true gem. We will definitely keep his information for future items and wholeheartedly recommend him to all. Thank you!!

Without question, Dana Joseph is the most efficient, skilled, trustworthy and responsive contractor I have worked with. If you need handyman, maintenance or contracting work done on your home or, as is our case, on a rental property, hire him today. I bought my first home in 1993. My wife and I now live in Illinois but own three rental properties in Richmond. For the last several months, Mr. Joseph has responded with grace and aplomb to needs both large and small, urgent and longer term. He sends videos of his diagnosis of problems, sends a reasonable estimate, does the work, documents the finished product via video, sends an invoice, gets paid and... voilá! Problem solved. I'm happy and our tenants are happy. It doesn't get much better than that. Thank you, Mr. Joseph, for everything you do.

Dana was responsive, professional, and pleasant from start to finish. He repaired rotted sections of railing and flooring on my wood front porch and did an excellent job - Quality A++. I could tell he really new old houses, which is why I hired him (my house was built in 1926). He provided good options for materials based on the life expectancy, but also only recommended quality wood products that would last long enough to make the work worthwhile. When unforeseen issues arose (as expected with an older house), he made good recommendations and helped guide me through the decision making. He was also very respectful of my wishes, rather than just doing it his way as some contractors tend to be. Bottom line: YES, I'd absolutely hire him again.
