D T Construction

DT is a very professional young man. I had a leak in my home during a really bad storm. I did call an Angies List roofer with good reviews who gave me an estimate for $5000, telling me that shingles on the whole top peak all needed replaced. This roofer did not inspect my roof, nor did he look at the inside leak. I was on my own with this as my husband is disabled. I almost fell for his bid but was smart enough to get a second opinion, DT construction. The owner, a very friendly young man with a great personality, examined my roof, came inside my home and examined the leak. He told me it had come from my chimney. He told me the shingles on my roof had a good few years left. He also told me the shingles were not spaced properly (although done by a supposedly professional in the past). But the fact I had another layer of shingles underneath, I had nothing to worry about for a few years or so. He fixed the leak around my chimney and I also had him fix the leak on my woodstove chimney (also 'professionally done' when it was installed). Full cost was $300. Far cry from $5000.00 This is my guy for future construction and repair. I give him an A++

They were very timely, personable, meticulous and immaculate with their job. I was very pleased with them. The staff I talked to was very honest.

I would not recommend this company. They may appear ti do a good job initially, but if you have a problem afterwards it is very difficult to get them to take care of it or EVEN TALK TO YOU about when they plan to take care of it. I am so frustrated.

I was very satisfied with the quality of the work and the time frame to get the job completed! I was concerned about potential damage to flower beds around the foundation and brought this to their attention. They made every effort to protect the flowers from any damage and my wife was very pleased. On another note, I read other comments from previous reviews which commented about the "number of cigarettes' left behind. Even though most of the roofer smoked, I did not find one butt in my yard or flower beds ! Martin, the salesmen for the job was also on site working on the roof. Dave the owner of DT Construction was also working on the roof. The whole crew did an excellent job and would highly recommend the company for any roofing needs in the future. The roofers were friendly and even asked about the music they were playing. They all seemed concerned about doing a good job. And a good job they did.

After checking Angie's list for roofing/siding contractors with good/high ratings I called D.T. construction. Got voice mail and left message. Call was returned within 2 hours. Set up appointment for review of my house and price quote for the next day. Arrived exactly at agreed upon time. I was given a couple of options with no pressure to select one over the other. Quote was prepared on my selection and I was told, depending on the weather, the work would be completed on Friday, April 12th. Contractor called 2 hours before arriving just to make sure I would be home. He and crew arrived and work was completed. Had excellent match with color and best of all was the quality of the work and complete clean-up of area when they finished.

They did a good job. They need to come out and finish part of the roof. We did call and that was about a year ago.

I liked the price compared to others. He was the only one who did the estimate who actually went up on the roof and looked around on the condition of the roof. Nobody else did that, they only looked at it and I don’t know what they measured up from the ground. He seemed to know what he was talking about. He went up on the roof he was afraid he might have to replace some of the plywood but it turned out okay. He told me what he saw, what he thought, and gave me his recommendations. They came and got everything done in one day, and they cleaned up very well afterwards. I am think of calling him again since my garage needs a new roof as well.

As of 3/11/2013, I'm giving them an F because we have water leaking into the house (for the second time) and they will not return our calls. I have also tried contacting them 3 times in the past 2 weeks regarding warranty with no return. When they finished, Brian said he would come back shortly to go over the warranty info, which is extensive with the siding. This is an expensive product and I definitely want the warranty in place. No word yet. I don't have many issues with the roofing part of the job. They could have done a better clean up job and paid more attention to detail, but overall, ok. I didn't appreciate the cigarette butts though. The siding was a little challenging and the owner, Dave, insisted on doing it himself. This was a time consuming process and really dragged out since he used only one helper. They estimated about 2 weeks to install, it took 14! Some of the delay was due to cold weather, but had they concentrated on this project, the cold wouldn't have been a factor. We had a very mild November and many nice days went by with no workers showing up. Overall, my biggest complaints are not paying attention to detail and punctuality. If they ran out of something, they just used whatever they had. They used the wrong color paint, the wrong color trim, and the wrong color caulk. They left the paint out overnight in freezing conditions numerous times even though the paint had a large label stating not to do so. They left the site, our yard, a mess for weeks. A little clean up would have gone a long way. The metal siding on the large bi fold door (45' x 16') was not finished properly, preventing the door from opening. I had to correct it myself, in sub zero wind chills, since no one would (again) return my calls. It's still not finished properly. The J-channel was only secured using adhesive and is now falling off. We were pleased with our initial experience. Brian was very professional and came in with a good price. They never tried to nickle and dime us and ended up doing a few extra's for no additional cost. Everyone was friendly and said the "right" things. The problem is, saying and doing are very different animals. Phone calls were not returned and workers didn't show up when they promised. Brian has repeatedly said they are "married" to this project and will stand by their work. So far, not only are they failing in the follow up, but also the completion. We'll see how it goes..... ****Update**** 3/21/2013. Three guys came out on the 12th to address the leaking window. They were not sure why it was still leaking and added some caulk. It's too cold for rain so we don't know if this will fix the problem. Stay tuned... I've changed my overall grade to a C. I spoke with both Dave and Brian and they apologized for the problems and assured me they will honor their warranty. I do believe they care about their reputation and will respond to call backs.

The company replaced our roof and skylights and honored their quoted bid even though some of the costs went over.

Punctual with estimate. Pleasant and professional. Did not hound me about a decision but did call after a couple of weeks just to make sure that I had not questions. Timely application of shingles. After into the job, I decided to have the gutters/down spouts replaced. Was not given a "bad" time about this change of mind. Gave a fair price to have this service added. Perhaps this is normal, but I did find quite a few nails afterwards. I know that the crew did clean up, though I felt as though they could have do a bit better job. Overall, very satisfied.

The team was very professional and well-mannered. Cleanup was excellent. The only negative was that they were asked (informally, not part of contract) if they could come back and extend a downspout. They said they could do it in a few days, but never came back to do it. Not a huge negative because it was an informal request at the last minute. Another positive - When they replaced the skylight, we noticed that the new one did not line up completely with the dry wall on the inside of our bathroom. Before we could say anything, the head guys knocked on the door and told us they needed to put trim up in out bathroom. They were right on top of things. Can't emphasize enough how friendly, polite and professional the work crew were! No bad language, course talking and they were always hard working! Refreshing experience.

They did end up coming a number of days later than they said they would to do the job - -HOWEVER it was because they were doing additional work for the customer before us; so with each customer they try to satisfy what they want them to do. I see that as a good thing. Also they are not 'great' about calling - but if they spent too much time on the phone they wouldn't be getting the work done! Just trust that they will get to your job in a timely manner and when they do they will do an excellent job!

From the time I received the first call back from them to the very end of the experience, DT Construction was prompt and professional. They give you an assurance that they care for your concerns, they answered all my questions. I would absolutely hire them in the future and would highly recommend them.

It went great from start to finish. DT's offer was the most competitive that I received, they were flexible with me regarding a financing option, and they performed the work quickly. DT is even going to assist us in a warranty claim agains the manufacturer of the shingles that we replaced. The staff was personable and took the time to explain everything and answers all of my questions thoroughly. Most importantly, the roof looks great too!

THE WORK WAS DONE IN A TIMELY MANNER AND THE CREW ANSERED ANY QUESTIONS I ASKED. I LOOKED AT AND TALKED TO A TOTAL OF 5 CONTRACTORS PRIOR TO THE ONE I USEDND NONE CAME CLOSE TO THEM. I AM VERY HAPPY WITH THEIR WORK AND TELLING ME ABOUT THE MATERIALS USED AND WHY THEY WERE USED. THANK YOU ANGIES LIST.

Dave's crew did a complete tear-off & re-roof. They always showed up on time. Worked steady all day and cleaned up every night. Did a great job. Even power washed the house when job was done.

Very nice people !!! roof looks great !! Thanks Dave !!

We wanted some roof repairs done where we noticed that during the winter, snow would melt from a certain area of the roof. Because of the condition of the shingles on the rest of the roof we decided to get the whole roof re-shingled. Also we would have them install two bathroom roof vents, purchased by me, at the same time. When roofing was removed down to the plywood, it was discovered that several areas would need plywood repairs due to water damage. In one area where the plywood was removed, it was noticed that the damaged insulation would also need to be replaced. All roofing material was installed in a very professional and speedy manner. We liked how the job was done on the house, so we asked them to give us an estimate on repairing and re-shingling a nearby building. The work on that building was similar in that a lot of repairing needed to be done before the completion of the roofing job. A second day of work to finish up was completed in a very professional manner also.

They did a great job. We are very pleased with them. They were very professional. They gave us a quote and came to discuss it with us. We made some changes and then agreed to it. They were very easy to deal with. Their clean up was as good as we could expect. They gave us the lowest bid.

Called last Fall and received a quote. Was told too late in season to roof and it would have to wait till Spring. Asked that they cover chimney bottom as it had just been built due to winter's approach. Said they would but never showed. I called in Spring to ask when roof could be started and was told they did not have me on their records. I told them who I spoke with and they said they would get back to me. They called three weeks later but by then I had decided to go with someone else.

THREE LAYERS OF ROOFING TAKEN OFF & TWO ON THE GARAGE. REPLACED HOUSE & GARAGE ROOF.

Contractor (the owner, David) was very professional in evaluating my old roof and providing an estimate of the cost of a new roof. By far the best price of the three estimates I received. David was punctual and very responsive to my questions and needs, and brought a (polite and respectful) large crew to complete the job in one day. The clean up was satisfactory as well. The roof looks great, and held up to the high winds 2 days later.

EXCELLENT from start to finish..

The roofers were able to begin the job 2 days earlier than expected. The job took 5 days total for the house and separate carriage house. The crew was courteous and did a great job. The construction mess was cleaned up beautifully.

It was amazing, our house looks good. They were very good and very prompt. The estimate was close to what we paid.
