DBS Remodel

Everything went perfectly, it is everything we hoped for and more. We have the flexibility to glass in our porch in the winter. With the woodstove, we can spend every available minute on our porch, year round, we love it! DBS was prompt in answering our calls and questions, and our crew was wonderful, would definitely have them back when we decide to have more work done.

The information helped me with the insurance company. They told me not to cash a check unless you know that it's enough to complete the job.

They were wonderful. We have to stop midway because my husband got sick. We will proceed with them. I think their price was one of the best. I would recommend their professionalism. They kept appointments on time. Overall, they were excellent.

Even though we ended up not using DBS now -- out of our price range for what we needed, we will strongly consider them for major work like building an addition.

See above. It went very well. Materials used for the deck was Trex. Secured the proper building permits and final approvals.

They have plumbers, electricians, etc.

Received a quote for a master bathroom renovation. The bathroom is extremely small, measuring 4.5' wide by 10' deep. It has a single-sink with cabinet, toilet and topper cabinet, and shower stall (no tub). I was very pleased with the punctuality, professionalism and detail that was provided by the estimator. However, it is noted that the estimate was not free; it came at a cost of $400 (non-refundable), but that included an estimate for some office cabinetry and minor renovation in our family room. The bathroom quotation came in at $21,000. The original quote was closer to $20,000 but I found that some work was missing from the quotation (i.e., 4' high tiling on two walls, about 40 square feet). The revised quotation landed at $21,000. The materials allowance accounted for approximately $7,000 of the quotation. However, we realistically require about $5,000 in allowance to get the job done. The remainder (at $16,000) would account for labor. Since we thought the quotation was high (a gut feeling), we asked for two (2) outside quotations. Both service providers were culled from Angie's List (like DBS), and...their quotes were $9,500 and $10,500 respectively. Allowances were in the range of $5,000 for materials. Needless to say, we are going with one of these service providers. The odd thing for me was when I spoke to DPS about my findings and decision. The estimator didn't seem to care that I was not going forward with DBS. He basically listened and then said, "Okay, great, have a nice day." I was surprised at this response. Perhaps we were just too small for DBS to care about. However, that should be said upfront in a nice way -- and it could've saved me $400. What an unfortunate waste of money...

We were given a thorough education on what services would be provided. We were impressed with the presentation.

They were very reliable. They did a good job. They are very knowledgeable and know what they are doing. I have no complaints at all.

They did a great job overall. They were very professional, laid out everything before they started the work, then completed the job. I got what I paid for!

The service was good overall. They really listen and they kept the job site the cleanest that I've seen. Their cost is high, but they take care of everything during the project, including subcontractors and the permits needed. We communicated really well, and any questions I had were answered. They're very professional, organized, neat, and hold to their word.

The work was done some time ago, but they did a great job! We described what we wanted, they came back with drawings and we modified the drawings to what we wanted. It was a good experience overall.

They were fantastic to work with overall! We interviewed several other companies, and they were the highest price by a small amount, but their quality seemed to be a lot better, so the cost was definitely worth it. They showed up promptly, were never late, and on a daily basis someone from the office called to check on how things were going. The quality of their work is outstanding, and their customer service is unbelievable. They have a really great website and newsletter, and even though the work was done two years ago, they still call or email to check in, just to make sure we're still happy. I've already recommended them to others and we'd definitely use them again if needed.

The experience has been excellent overall! The owner of the company himself came to our home and spent a good deal of time with us, looking over what we wanted to have done. He answered any questions that we had and made recommendations about what companies we should visit for tiling, fixtures, plumbing, etc. Everyone that he recommended was excellent to do business with, and he communicated with us routinely. Everyone within the company communicates well with us, too. They're professional, thorough, and seem to be honest. Everything has been positive so far!

The project went great. No complaints as the entire renovation took about 2 1/2 months. Given the scale that timeline is impressive.

These guys are the best! From the first sit down,where we weren't sure exactly what we wanted to do to the last piece of debris being carted away. We had a very detailed estimate from the start and they explained how if changes were made along the way we would be kept up to date with any additional charges. The work was first rate and all the help that was at the house was very courteous. They cleaned up every day. They started when they said they would start and if they ran into any problems, they would always let us know with a phone call or in person. The follow up staff makes sure you are completely satisfied. We had a very small issue with the deck about 1 1/2 years later and they were at the house within 24 hours of our phone call.We are currently thinking of having a bathroom remodeled and they will be our first phone call! There prices are not cheap but if you want a quality job done right,these are the guys to call.

Dutchess Building Specialists did an excellent job. They were very thorough when they came out to do the quote and the quote was very detailed. I knew what exactly they were doing. They showed up exactly on time and cleaned up every day. The house was immaculate when they left the house after finishing the job. They were the most professional remodeler that I have ever met.
