“They designed my vision.”

This letter is about DNDKB. From the first meeting to the final nail, everything about my renovation went smoothly. I own a beautiful large townhouse in Lafayette, that needed everything. Kitchen, master bathroom, move a wall and new floors. I found them through a realtor/friend who used their company, and for remodels needed prior to listing a home.

They made my process easy. They designed my vision, helped with permits, kept me abreast of every detail, and delivered a beautiful product. Was the process seamless? Of course not. What remodel ever is? But, I always knew what was happening and what was being done. Dave made sure my questions were answered and the solution was presented. The job came in at a very reasonable budget and stayed true to that. I never felt like I was not a part of the process.

I have a bathroom I now refer to as The Palace, a HUGE kitchen that sparkles, and beautiful mahogany floors throughout. The wall couldn't be moved. I'm okay with that, too. Stunning!

Thank you for everything you did for me. As you know, I never hesitate to refer my friends to you. You have so many clients that will, without hesitation, write glowing reviews for your work.

“It’s refreshing and comforting to find a group of people who listen to a client's needs and input, and produce results that match.”

Presently, we are doing a 7 unit remodel on Domingo (across from the Claremont Hotel) in Berkeley. I am working closely with the owner, my client, (who loves you and your team!), to navigate a complete building renovation. You have been great in your creativity and execution in finding solutions on all fronts: i.e., working with the city, designing and adding a unit to the building, and bringing all the resources and expertise necessary to get the result we need.

It’s refreshing and comforting to find a group of people who listen to a client's needs and input, and produce results that match. I consider your company my main resource when it comes to knowledge and expertise in the residential home industry. I look forward to working together in the future on many other projects.

“My clients could not be more pleased with their interactions and experiences with you.”

You and your company have been working with me on several projects and I could not be more pleased with the experience. I am always very cautious when it come to referring my clients to a General contractor. DNDKB has become my “go to” solution for every project I am doing in the Bay Area. My clients could not be more pleased with their interactions and experiences with you. Cliff and Francesca are very excited about their addition and as you know, living across the street from me makes that very important.  I especially liked the creativity you brought to that project. Shahin has been very impressed with how you have approached his project (guiding him to a solution for his remodel has been critical). I’m happy to talk to anyone regarding my experience with you.

Dave (DNDKB),

I am so very happy with the end result, and also extremely happy that you suggested the vaulted ceiling. It has been a pleasure working with all of you and I want to thank all of you for all your hard work!

-Wendy D.

“All of my friends are amazed.”

Dave and DNDKB have been on top of my project like hawks. I was initially concerned that they might not be able to take on my project, but they assured me that they didn’t overextend themselves with the number of projects that they run concurrently.

The permitting process was not a cakewalk, more so because of my City’s bureaucracy, but I appreciated Dave sticking with me throughout and doing his best to explain the intricacies of the process. His knowledge of how the planning process plays out helped make sense of things in a world of permitting and zoning that most of us don’t engage with on a daily basis. Once all of the permitting was approved the project moved forward with light-speed!

All of my friends are amazed at the progress when I share pictures of the house online. Dave and his crew have a network of subs that they can really rely on to get things done. Dave has done his best to be upfront with me about what challenges to expect and how we can work together to see the project through to the successful completion that we both want. Working with Brian and some of the other staff has been very easy and made the project less burdensome. As an added benefit, Dave is personally interested in kitchen design and took the time to find out what my vision was and worked out some mock-ups that gave my ideas life.

I would be more than happy to talk with anyone about working with you and your company. It’s been great having a contractor who is as equally invested in seeing my house come to a beautiful completion as I am.

“Any words take a backseat to our awesome new place.”

Just wanted to reach out and let you know our new home is thrilling us each and every time we cross the threshold! Definitely a process and so we’re especially thankful you and Dan were able to guide us through.

After the myriad of turns through the city planning and permits, the construction part seemed almost straightforward. We love the way things have come together and the result is nothing short of stunning! Please definitely feel free to use our new home as a showcase for clients considering doing any major work. We’re happy to talk with them about the process and the way Dave and staff have worked through the project. That said, any words will take a backseat to our awesome new place!

Please convey our thanks and appreciation to everyone in the office. Once the weather warms up, we’ll all have a little “thank you” barbecue and let everyone see their contributions as a whole. We know it definitely takes a village and so please express our thanks to all the workmen and trades that made the final result so great. Couldn’t have done it without them and their attention to making it right.
