I am sorry for the lack of communication. We have had some challenges with the transition from the old Angie's list website to the new one and this has been one of the challenges. We do encourage all potential clients to call us within our normal business hours as we have someone to field these calls and answer any questions and discuss how we can help. I again am sorry for the lack of communication but I assure you we didn't receive it.

Not good. I read reviews and I got the impression that DSI was not the cheapest but was good. I sent message and got a call back. When I was asked if I had a budget, I said yes and when I would not say how much I was advised that most bathroom remodels are 20,000 and kitchen remodels over 25000 because "we use real wood cabinets and quartz counters". I am not sure how you can give me an "estimate/average" on a bathroom when you don't even know what I want and much less the size of the bathroom and the work entailed. Because "real wood" is used does not constitute a 20,000 dollar expense. With that said I said thanks but no thanks. Don't want to waist your time much less mine. If that is how vetting a customer is accomplished, you just lost a potential customer because if your price had been fair/maybe a little high but understanding that good work would be done, hassle free that would be worth the price.

After setting up the initial appointment, I got a call from DSI prior to the appointment requesting to reschedule due to an emergency, and was able to do so without problem. Service person was just a tad late in arriving on the rescheduled day/time, and since I hadn't received a call, I called the main office, where the recording said the office would be closed for the next two days. Just a little nervous after that, but the service person showed up just a few minutes later, so no big deal. He diagnosed that the bulbs were burnt out in my existing fan and replaced them easily at no charge. He then went to work and deftly installed the new ceiling fan in the guest bedroom with great speed. It looked and worked great! And the service person was gracious, knowledgeable, and took his time to explain the fan control and some of the options I could have if I changed to different bulbs, etc. Awesome and very friendly workman. Highly recommend.

The team is amazing from start to finish. Dave came out assets the job and gave great feed back on what would work best with the space we had. He checked in throughout the job to make sure everything was on track, he kept me informed and was always available for any question or concerns I had along the way. The job was quoted to take three weeks we did go a day over three weeks due to the sink I picked out. Kristy was very prompt in sending me a quote back and answered any question I had before we started the project. She kept me in the loop on who was come over for the day and when they would be there. I was able to work with Kristy to pick out the fixtures that I had envisioned for this bathroom. Sean and Ched did an amazing job with all the small tiles that I had picked out. The electrician Matt was punctual, he did a great job installing the bathroom lighting and exhaust fan. Before leaving each day they cleanup any debris, asked if I had any question and looked over the progress together. I will be recommending Dave and team to my friends and family. And plan on calling them back for our next project.

Thank you to this member for your feedback. We are a small contractor and this is our busy season on top of what appears to be an unusual busy season for all. We are booked out for appointments as the owner I am involved with each project. Regarding pricing; when calling in and talking with our office we dont quote projects over the phone but we do have a menu of options to include pricing to ensure those appointments we do have established a realistic budget to eliminate wasting your time or ours. Again thank you for thinking of us and we wish you the best with your project.

Thank you to this client for the nice review and feedback. We have put new policies in place to ensure the clean up is shop vac clean and will review our work to ensure each client is happy. We carry white switches on the vans as this is the most popular color used but can pick up beige if given advanced notice. We win as a team and fail as a team and take ownership of our failures. We apologize genuinely for not meeting your expectations on clean up or even meeting our own. Please keep us in mind for any future projects. We are sure you will be happy with our new approach and follow up. Thank you again for the nice review and feedback.

Our neighbors on Swann used DSI after the August flash flooding hit our area. I jogged by every day to observe the process and the progress. After several months I asked them if there had been any reccurance of their waster problems and they had the biggest grins on their faces when they happily said "NO!" We live in a lower area not far from the bay and have always had problems with water coming under the floor in our lower than grade living room (despite three unsuccessful contracting efforts to fix the problem). I called Mr Spence to set up an appointment and he was right on time the day of. He spent a considerable amount of time walking the area with me, educating me on the Hydro Stop application process and identifying other areas that needed refurbishing. Upon receipt of the estimate the next day I immediately hired DSI. To begin, the DSI crew arrived every day promptly at 8 am. They were courteous, quiet, respectful and they worked continuously throughout the day. They wiped their feet every time they walked on our newly installed pool pavers and they did not allow any debris whatsoever to hit the pool. They did NOT block the driveway or in any way impede our family's rather hectic lifestyle. They cleaned up every day and covered all loose dirt with tarps. The first day they dug a trench around 3/4 of the house, down to the footer. This was complicated by roots, catch basins, cable wires and poorly placed pipes. Nevertheless they completed their task. Day 2 was spent cleaning the affected area (previous contractors had used roofing sealant in some areas) and prepping first installation of the Hydro Stop slurry. The morning of the third day we had surprise thunderstorms and I was worrying about the effect the rain would have on the previous day's work when the DSI truck pulled up and the guys immediately set to work to cover affected areas. In addition, as the rain increased they stayed outside in the thunderstorm to dig a 4 foot diversionary hole for water accumulation. The remainder of the time was spent on the completion of the first slurry, installation of the membrane (a meticulous and time consuming process), the second slurry coat and installation of block in the back. Because of the rain delay they came back on Saturday to complete the job. Throughout the entire process David Spence inspected, reinspected and re reinspected the application of the Barrier Guard. I cannot express just how delighted I am with this whole process. Mr Spence is not only an expert on hydrostatic pressure, but as my wife said, "is a man who lives his faith". I give DSI my strongest referral. This is a company, guided by its owner, that provides excellent service and product and has caring individuals who treat their clients as they would their own families. He will be back next year to do our windows.

I would like to send a huge Thank You to this client! What a great review. It was truly our pleasure to help. this client shared photos of the floods that happen on his street and they are crazy! No evidence of any road, driveways or grass. The only thing you could see is water, trees and houses! The Hydro Stop Barrier Guard system is probably the only product that would have helped in this extreme condition. It was our pleasure to be able to help with our experience in providing a long term solution to this problem. Again, Thank you to this client for such a detailed and nice review. We will be ready to help with your next project when your ready!

It is truly our pleasure to help. I was sad to see what an unlicensed individual had done to my clients prior to me meeting them. A large portion of the roof had been completely removed, a few trusses sitting in the front yard that did not belong to this project, the electric was a fire hazard and the list goes on. So upon meeting and hearing from this client we established a plan to proceed and are now almost completed with this project. It really is a huge transformation and we are pleased to be able to help these clients but more so be able to show there are still licensed contractors out here that are looking to help and make dreams come true! Thank you to this client for trusting us in making this what once was a nightmare turn into a dream house. We look forward to completing this project with you and being here for you long after this project is over!

It was our pleasure to share our experience with this client. It was unfortunate that the home inspector nor realtor identified that the rear porch was not permitted and did not meet any part of the minimum building code in Florida. It was apparent that the work was not completed correctly and needed to be addressed. It was our pleasure to help by providing a free estimate.

I needed assistance updating some electrical issues that turned up during inspection on an older home I recently closed on. Could not be more pleased with the service received from DSI Construction. An extremely courteous, responsive, professional, and knowledgeable staff, from individuals such as Kristy in the office to Matt who did the work. Even had a chance to meet Mr. Spence. All quality individuals who answered any questions/concerns that I had, and offered options as to how to handle the jobs that needed to be done. They will be the company I call for any electrical issues I have in the future, and would not hesitate referring friends and family to them. Alvin Harvey Temple Terrace

Everything went well. We bought a prepaid deal through Angie's List. We were able to schedule an appointment right away. The electrician was punctual and knowledgeable. He was not able to place the lights where we had wanted them but was able to offer other viable suggestions. We ended up with three cans instead of four. They provide plenty of light in a dark entry.

Thank you to this client for taking the time to write about your experience. It is a valid point to understand that when looking at a ceiling there are many obstacles such as trusses, floor joist, plumbing and so on that can prevent a recess fixture being installed in that location. We of course do our best to accommodate these requests and will always talk through viable alternative options. When purchasing a deal on Angies list it is important to note these are real savings!

The next afternoon it did not work. I called and spoke with Kristy, explained the problem and she politely told me she would touch base with Matt and give me a call back (yesterday). She promptly returned my call and said that Matt would be at my house at 12:30 today. Matt showed up today promptly and in a courteous and professional manner repaired the problem.
