Customer ReviewsforDevries Construction & Renovation

Our basement renovation experience with De Vries Construction & Renovation (DCR) was excellent overall. After interviewing four different contractors, we decided to commission DCR to build our project. Dave De Vries (owner/operator) came well prepared to answer my many questions in what I would describe as an engaging discussion sharing his comprehensive knowledge and vast experience. Working from my own drafted conceptual floor plan, Dave offered many creative suggestions with minor alterations, which enhanced our usable floor space in practical and creative ways that I had not considered. Our home is a typical 1950’s bungalow in river-heights with a bit of a tilt and uneven floor, which unsurprisingly presented some construction challenges. Dave was always prompt in communicating his thoughts on necessary alterations to address issues. His suggestions and solutions consistently produced aesthetically pleasing results. I felt well guided and informed through the entire construction phase. Various stages of construction involved choosing materials and construction options that had cost impact. Dave has the knowledge and skills to clearly explain the pros and cons of which material choices were most suited to the task. This gave us considerable relief with confidence to make practical decisions, in what could easily have become a very stressful experience. The crew of plumbers, electricians, carpenters, tilers, and drywallers were highly skilled and competent. The project expense was well matched to work quality levels while completing the project in the time allotted. * ***** ********* ********* ** ***** ************ * ********** ** an excellent choice for any home renovation project.

We hired Dave and his team to complete our kitchen renovation and everything exceeded our expectations. From start to finish, we were thoroughly impressed with the exceptional workmanship and professionalism exhibited by Dave and his team. They consistently surpassed our expectations, maintaining open communication throughout the project, and showed up every day. We would gladly rehire Dave for future projects *** ********* **** *** *** **** ** ******* 

We had originally been planning to sell our house in a year or so - but we needed to upgrade the basement first. We were hoping to find a contractor that could give us a reasonably nice-looking basement for a reasonably nice cost. We got a bunch of quotes - Dave's was the lowest and the most detailed. Once the work began - Dave kept us up-to-date on progress, time frames, next steps, code requirements, etc. He very patiently listened when we brought up change ideas and carefully explained whether or not the changes would even work, if not - why, and the cost implications. Dave and his crew are very skilled, polite, friendly and they obviously take great pride in their work.
Although we had intended to sell in a year - now that the work is completed - its too nice to leave! We think we may stay a few years longer in order to enjoy it more with our friends and family.
