DAL did a great job on my new rooftop deck. The guys worked hard, were very professional, and finished on time and on budget. I will say they were not the cheapest source, but sometimes you get what you pay for.

From beginning to end, Tim and his crew did a great job and was super responsive. We were really impressed with how quickly they got the job done. Even our neighbors have commented on the quality of work. Will be hiring again to finish painting the deck and some other work. Also did a nice job repairing and replacing part of our cement sidewalk.

Project management was just poor. A 6 to 8 week project took 6 months and I had to get another contractor to come in to do finishing work. Granted I added 2.5 weeks of additional work, but 6 months? Now, they weren't working the whole time as they would leave to work on other jobs. The owner said he always made sure that his customers were happy, but after I pointed out problems several times to the "project manager" and lead carpenter, they didn't address and just packed up all their tools and moved to another job. The owner said he had multiple fabricators to pick from and could turn around a counter top quickly. The slabs were delivered to the fabricator the 1st week of November and the 1st week of January, I would be notified that it would be installed 2/19. They claimed that since I made a change to eliminate some of the stone the CADs had to be redone. I've worked with CADs, they just needed a couple of minutes to remove a page. Drywall that was installed and painted had to be cut open for plumbing work. Exposed BX to the kitchen undermount lights that looked more like a garage workshop than a kitchen. Their solution was to tell me to paint it white. There were many other issues, too many to go into here. However, they did do a good job with the kitchen floor and the subcontractor they used for tiling was good, although he cut tile on the balcony with a wet saw and the neighbor below ended up with dirty tile water all over their furniture. Plus, the owner didn't realize the marble tile needed to be sealed and didn't tell his sub. Finally, it was very expensive. Unfortunately, I can't recommend DAL Builders.

Tim Larkin, Steve Douthat and the DAL Builders staff were a pleasure to work with and could not have been more professional. They were quick to respond from the start, answered our many questions and kept us in the loop throughout the process. The work was completed in a timely manner and looks great! The build staff was on time every day and made sure that everything was cleaned up at the end of the day. One of our window screens was damaged during the build but Tim dealt with the replacement right away at no charge. We would definitely work with them again.

DAL designed and installed steel powder-painted railings. Rails were installed in a timely fashion and look great! I am slow to write reviews... this was 18 months ago, but the railings are holding up great. I couldn't be happier with my choice of DAL!
Description of Work: Our front and back stairs were out-of-compliance because of lack of usable rails.

We got four quotes for this work and Tim at DAL was the only one that said they could work around some damaged concrete work leading to the basement stairway and still accomplish what we wanted. Additionally, they're very accommodating with options and ideas to accomplish what we wanted within our budget. The work was done on-schedule and the builders and carpenters were all great. The whole process was easy from start to finish and all of our questions were answered quickly and clearly.

Tim came over to give an estimate for fixing an issue with our deck. His pre-meeting communication was great and he arrived on-time. After looking at the deck in person, he gave me some really great creative recommendations for solving our issue that would involve calling a roofer instead. I thought it was very professional for him to recommend the best solution for us. As a plan B, he also offered his own quote if his company were to take on this small job. Thank you, DAL Builders.

Each project was finished on time and on budget. They helped us make some design and material choices along the way that worked out great for our home. When something didn't turn out as we expected, they worked to make it right.

The quality of the work was great, they were quite responsive, both before and after signing the contract. The deck looked awesome. And afterwards they were avialable to answer questions about maintenance and care. Would definitely use them again.
Description of Work: DAL came in and picked up after another contractor had dropped the ball. While they performed a number of services around the house, the most significant were removing and replacing a second floor balcony, and removing and replacing a roof-top deck over a 2.5 car garage, and building a lattice around the deck.

For an ~ 20 years old, 3 level deck, which is for a 12 unit owner occupied condo building, the first level stringer anchors failed. Tim (project manager) was very responsive and informative in helping to come up with the most economical solution to repair the first level, in addition to taking care of the basement and second level stairs to prevent a similar failure from happening until the entire deck is replaced. Slightly more expensive than other estimates received, but the responsiveness to questions, customer service, and quality of work / clean-up far outways this slight increase in cost. Very pleased with the overall experience and would definitely have them do similar work in the future.
Description of Work: Had deck treads / risers on three levels of stairs replaced. Resecured all stringers to the brick with new anchors.

Thank you for the review, It was a pleasure to work with you.
They did a perfect match with the white, off white, and beige colors for the siding. Everything went great, they were able to raise the overhang up about a quarter of an inch and stabilize it. It doesn't slant anymore! Very cooperative and communicative about scheduling and weather problems. I would recommend them!
Description of Work: The overhang at the front of my garage was beginning to tilt in. They removed the previous supportive posts (that held flower boxes) and replaced them with two new more supportive posts. They replaced some siding on the garage as well.
