Wood fence repair. Although the repaired fence does not quite align with the rest of the fence, the repaired section is extremely sturdy and looks great. The job was done efficiently, with the right tools, and communication from the contractor was excellent.

"DMI (Juan Rejino) took on a major renovation of an older condo unit. The renovation was a complete gut of the unit and presented multiple challenges due to the original construction. Juan remained focused on the plan and came up with creative solutions. DMI's office manager (Rachelle) was very timely with communications - both status updates and schedule. Juan was also available for more specific construction questions. We are very happy with the completed project and believe that Juan operates with integrity and pride in his workmanship. We would recommend Juan / DMI to others."

The bathroom work was beautiful. It was very well done. It was very fast, very good workmanship overall and he had good ideas. As a matter of fact my daughter used him after I did to do a bathroom at her house and she is very satisfied too. The quality was excellent."
