Everything was built just as we had hoped. We were initially looking for some suggestions on how to repair our stairs leading to the front door as well as a small patio on the back. Daniel came out, gave suggestions and a quote. We soon made a date for the repairs. Daniel and his men arrived on time in the morning and were done by noon. I was more than impressed with the efficiency of the job. We even called Daniel the night before with a slight change and he was easily able to accommodate. We would highly recommend Mr. Lamper. We appreciate is honesty and integrity.

Overall experience was excellent. Mr. Lamper has a high taste level and sensibility which was of great concern when we had our first consultation. He thinks like the client, is very responsive and has professional sub contractors to do the work when he can't. He is a very experienced builder and general contractor and believes in the execution of a quality product. I am not a builder and I tend to be taken in by the aesthetics but even I know everything starts with the right, strong foundation. And that is what Mr. Lamper provides. And he wasn't scared off by a perfectionist like me even with fair warning. That isn't to say there weren't set backs, there were. Between weather delays and other workmen's personal issures we had our share. But Mr. Lamper addressed those issures right away even before I could and I was ready to, believe me. Before our first meeting I had gotten 3 excellent referrrals for Mr. Lamper and I checked out each one. Then I went on line to do my research and asked personal friends about their experiences with contractors so I would know what to ask. I had a lot of questions during our first consultation and even more during our second consultation. I also had a very strict budget and Mr. Lamper respected that through the entire process even though, unavoidably, there were upcharges, all of which were my choice. With that said, I would highly recommend him and would use him again in a NY second.

Due to my husband's stroke, we recently moved to Asheville to be closer to family and for the medical facilities. We needed a room and deck added to our home and tile flooring put into some rooms. We were fortunate to have found Dan Lamper through Angie's List. Dan and his subs have done a remarkable job building the new room and deck, and installing the tile. As a retired home building contractor, my husband has been extremely pleased with Dan's workmanship (as well as I). Dan is always personable, easy to contact, and prices are within acceptable range. We would highly recommend Dan to anyone.

We did not have a good experience. He did not follow through with what he said he was going to do. We paid him to come out and do a drawing for my son's house. He did not do it and then he told my son that he could not do the job. We would call him and then he would tell us to call in a couple of weeks. I understand that he does fabulous work and I do not think that he wanted the job. He did finally tell my son that something had come up and he was not interested. He was the only contractor that charged us to come out. I would not use him again.

Response from Daniel S Lamper
All I can say is WOW.Yes I asked for $60. for 2 hour trip charge and estimate up front when they called and they agreed because of the distance. I also said if I had plans drawn up it would cost about $300.00 no one draws a two story addition plan for $60.00. I spent several hours in planning and email with Andrew, and stated up front I wouldn't be sure I could do this job till Jan. as it turned out my customer I'm building a 2400 sq.ft. house for decided to add a covered screened porch a breezeway, and a garage to the job. Immediately told Andrew i could not do his job with this extra work my customers have asked me to do. I also suggested that the second story part was not the best spent money after which they decided to remodel the bath. And at his request to return the $60 I agreed if he felt I had not done enough for him at that point,(over 10 hours of driving and pricing and emails over seas) I asked for his mailing address 5 weeks ago, never got it. This is the problem with Angie's list when people you try to help by giving them your time, advise, when it doesn't work out we get bad remarks posted about us as builders, but to them there is no consequence to their future employment, just ours. This is why I work so hard to have good relationships with my customers, because this is what I do for a living, and I'm good at it 40 years and counting. My integrity is what is most important to me and my name, and to have half truths stated about me is just plain wrong. My work has always continued by word of mouth long before Angie's list was created and that says more then some review that can be written.

Dan Lamper came to my house to do an assessment of the work to be done. I was impressed from the start. He is a professional in his work, and I knew he would do a good job. When he discovered something that we didn't discuss in the beginning, he gave me several options and recommendations. The work exceeded my expectations. My wife and I will be calling on Dan again in the future. I recommend him highly.
Description of Work: Replaced all the handrails, pickets, steps, and replaced some deck boards that were rotten or damaged.
Description of Work: This is the 3rd job Dan has performed for me. The other two included a total kitchen and bathroom re-do. But this job was smaller--still of equal importance. The decking on the front porch had to be replaced, a rubber moisture guard installed to prevent rain from getting into the basement. So Dan removed the old decking--installed a thick rubber roofing barrier, replaced the flooring with new lumber, and nicely trimmed out some areas to enhance the job aesthetically. Looks great from the outside but most importantly, it solved the problem of moisture getting into the basement. In addition to his fine craftsmanship, Dan totally cleans up after the job--leaving nothing behind for the homeowner to deal with. I would recommend him for just about anything!

I was looking to do business with a local contractor. I made first contact on 6/3, then met for 1.5 hrs to describe the scope of work in depth the following week. I sent him a floor plan in CAD that was at least 80% accurate for a rectangular wing addition with a home office and bedroom/bath option. He came out with an Ipad, took photos, etc. I felt good after the first meeting. He said he'd get an an estimate back in 2 weeks because he was leaving on vacation which I understood. Got an update after several weeks then on 7/8 received an email that he was covered up with other jobs - said he'd understand if I didn't pursue his services. I asked for at least a budget estimate to keep the process moving forward but haven't received anything as of this review. I'm not pursuing his services.
Description of Work: Came out, took a look and hasn't submitted an estimate after almost 2 months.

Absolutely wonderful. Dan is totally delightful to work with. Upbeat, friendly and conscientious. His work is beautiful. He did a great job matching the existing look of the house. I have a bungalow that was built in the early 1900's and I wanted the addition to look as close to the original house as possible. It does. Dan does a lot of the work himself and was on hand to supervise any sub-contractors that he used. His subs were all great to work with also. Friendly and stayed on task. I would highly recommend him for additions or new construction. He is very experienced and it shows in his work. A couple of days after Dan finished my job a dog of mine ruptured a disc and had to have back surgery. I called Dan and he showed up the next morning and built a ramp for me off the front porch. I can't say enough good things about working with him. He is just a really nice person, genuinely nice. You couldn't go wrong using him.
Description of Work: Added a 14x16 addition to the back of my house where the existing deck had been.

I've worked with contractors in the past and ALWAYS had the same experience--sometimes they would do what they said, sometimes they wouldn't. Sometimes they would be communicative/sometimes not. Sometimes they did good work/sometimes they didn't. But ALWAYS it's been a frustrating experience. Dan Lamper remodeled our kitchen recently and was a total joy to work with. His price for the job was so reasonable that we didn't feel the need for a second quote. He was punctual, came every day until the job was finished, and always let me know what to expect. His work was really professional--excellent in fact. And he was so pleasant to be around that we regretted when the job ended.
Description of Work: Our kitchen was unworkable in that it was too small due to basement steps taking up most of the floor space. Dan suggested removing the stairs which essentially gave us 32 more sq. ft. of kitchen space. He then suggested placement for lighting and new cabinets. The job took a little less than 2 weeks. He was conscientious about dust and cleaned up every day at the end of the day. The new kitchen is wonderful and has given us a new lease on life in this old house.

Dan did a marvelous job with everything, our living room box-beams blend right in and our kitchen box-beams look wonderful. The heating and new gutters are standing up well to the winter storms, and our bathroom ceilings are fresh and clean. The new bathroom heater is wonderful in the winter, everything went smoothly and we are enjoying our renovated house!
Description of Work: We purchased a 160-year-old brick farm house, still in good condition but it needed some repair after having sat empty for 3-4 years. We took on a renovation loan with a bank, which required specific repairs to be made in additions to the ones we felt we needed to make. This included: new heating system, front brick step repair, repair a small leak from the roof, replace the bathroom ceiling which had been water damaged from the leak, new eaves and soffits and gutters, fill a now-dry koi pond with mulch, and other incidentals. Because the house is so old and the radiator pipes were behind plaster/hardwood walls and beneath hardwood floors, Dan concealed the new piping within fake wooden box-beams, stained to look like the existing (also fake, concealing wiring) box-beams so that minimal drilling into/through walls would have to be done. He also dropped another bathroom ceiling in our other bathroom to install a sorely needed heater/fan and more suitable bathroom lighting.

Everything went great. The work was great and was completed on schedule.
Description of Work: I had purchased a foreclosed home that was needing a lot of work. I had Dan supervise a few of my workers as well as a few of his and was able to do a complete renovation and finish a home in 12 weeks. Everything came out great. A few months later I had Dan come out and do some punchout work for me. I will be having him come back to my home in a few more months for other work as well.

Description of Work: Reshingled part of the roof to prevent leaks. I have used Dan on a number of projects prior to this work and have always been satisfied with his work. We live in a gated community in Flat Rock and I have noticed that other contractors inflate their prices because of the community we live in. Dan, however, has always priced his work at a lower level, ignoring the community upcharge which others seem to be charging.
