DJM Construction

Everything went well and I am pleased with the work.

Had two rooms remodeled. A dining room and a study. Installed box ceiling, moldings, refinished walls and paint, etc..... Dave and Mike were great to work with. Quality of work is excellent and both can be trusted in the home and around children. Used again for a bedroom refinish and will continue to use for future projects. Finally found a quality no hassle contractor after years of dealing with problem contractors.

Dave came out to my home to provide and estimate to install a door at the top of my stairs. He was prompt and very friendly. While he was here I asked if he would have time to also look at a bathroom that needed some work which he agreed to do. He took his time and was thorough about taking the details of the work and discussing my thoughts on the project. The prices for both items were very reasonable. Matt and Sam completed the work. They were both very nice and on time each day and always cleaned everything up before leaving for the day. I decided to add and change a few things during the process and they were very accommodating with the changes. I had to go out of town for a few days while they were working, but felt completely confident having them continue while I was gone. The work was done very well and Dave was at the job site regularly to check-in. I would definitely recommend DJM Construction.

..Dave was able to schedule the finish work within 10 days of recontacting him. Our basement remodeling project was several years in the making, completing different phases as we saved money. Dave's company had been with us for several of the phases, always doing great work & offering good suggestions. Mike was able to complete this last phase in less than a week, before we had a scheduled vacation. They always showed up on time, and left a clean worksite each day.

Dave gave us a fair quote in advance of the job, and he was able to fit us into his busy schedule in less than one week which we really appreciated as we were trying to complete the job before we had some out of town guests. As part of this project, we were installing taller cabinets and there were a few unexpected issues as a result which were professionally addressed. Dave also sent an additional person toward the end of the job to help keep the job on schedule. Dave and his team were very responsive and professional, and Dave always checked in with us to ensure we were satisfied. We will absolutely work with Dave for future projects.

Had an area that was all chewed by my dog. Dave replaced much of the drywall and trim. Instead of spending money on new doors, he was able to repair them to beautiful condition. Dave made an effort to save money where he could and his work was fantastic. One thing I appreciate it was his flexibility. Since I work full-time he worked with me to find times when the work could be done. Would definitely use him again and would definitely refer him to a friend.

We only had ceiling fans in half the upstairs rooms and wanted to add to all the rooms. We have worked with Dave on multiple projects and his crew always does a good job. We originally had only asked them to install one, but they said they had time to do both (they even ran to the store to pick up another fan). We had to be patient on a time frame because he was busy, but he worked out a time with my wife and had everything done in a few hours after they arrived. The upstairs is much cooler now.

The finished product is excellent. It is an excellent bathroom and bedroom. The staff was diligent and professional. Dave Mageery was very good at providing receipts and an explanation of the bill.

Can't even get Dave to show up for an estimate to rennovate a bathroom! Even went out of my way to make sure that I chose a company that was approved & listed on Angie's List for reliability with good reviews. Don't be fooled, didn't help in this situation at all. Life is hectic enough keeping track of our own schedules. If you don't want the work, don't schedule an appointment. It's ok to just say no.

Dave is the best contractor I have worked with in terms of responsiveness, he is great at getting back quickly and providing complete information on what is required and the total cost of the project

I was not sure about what type of tub I was going to use when Dave came for the estimate but did a bit more research and made a decision later that night. I wanted to let him know before he put the written estimate together so I called the next day and left a message. I also wanted to ask him about the shower doors before I placed the order and heated floors. I never got a call back. The following week I emailed to see if he had gotten my message again, no response. At the end of the week when the estimate was not here and I still had not heard from Dave I called again. This time I did get him (he was driving and by the way he was talking he obviously had not screened his calls) and was told some story about how he has so many hats to wear...well FYI every adult I know has many hats to wear it is not an excuse. Again I was told my estimate was next and he would have it to me over the next two days...here it is a week later, I emailed him again to ask if he was even interested in following through with the estimate and again no response. I think if you have to much on your plate to take on another job, just say so. The way things were handled shows a complete lack of professionalism and integrity. I would NOT recommend Dave. I will share his name and my experience with my neighbors and friends. I'm not sure where Dave came up with the "timeline" but I never gave him a timeline. I told him I would like to get back to the other contractors who bid the job (he would have been the third) as soon as possible with my decision because I don't think it's fair to keep them waiting. They have to plan their jobs also and need to know. Dave made up the" timeline" thing, I also think if you are "extremely busy" like you said here, it's unlikely your table will be empty.

They were great. When he came by the house, I gave him the Angie's List resource page that I had printed out, and he was happy to get it. We had no problems at all. We had paid 75 Dollars for it, and he felt that the work was not worth 75 Dollars, so he walked around and did some more work.

Dave and his staff did a very thorough job creating a new room in our basement and remodeling an existing bathroom. Dave was very professional and efficient to meet our construction needs.

They did a fantastic job. They gutted the bathroom and redid everything and it is beautiful now.

The hot water valve replacement was smooth. The cold water shut off valve nut broke so the local water company had to be called to shut off the water to the house and then called again when the replacement was completed. Dave worked quickly and eficiently so additional costs were not incurred by the local water company. When the nut broke and water went everywhere, Dave was very professional and was able to resolve the issue and complete the job in a timely manner. I trust Dave and will definately use his services again.

It was a small job for Dave, but he did it anyway and did it well! He and his crew were very professional and personable. We will definitely contact him again in the future.

I had only days to fix some creaky floors for the sale of my home. Tried a traditional repair for this problem but it did not work. I found David on Angie's List, called and left a message, and he returned my call within 30 minutes and came right out the same afternoon! He did a great job at troubleshooting the problem and devised an effective repair that avoided removing or cutting open the carpeted flooring to get to the joists below. I could not be more impressed or grateful! He was courteous and professional to boot! Highly recommended!

Sorry, I have to disagree. Called on the 7th to see if they were interested in 2 small carpentry jobs and 1 larger job. Was told he was driving and to send an email. which I did. Never heard back one way or the other. Very unprofessional and disrespectful. If he was not interested all it would have taken is a minute to email back.

Dave's team came late last year to drywall our 500 sq.ft basement & install new basement windows, among other things. This time we needed to have our basement bathroom finished. I sent Dave an email request, hoping to get on his calendar in the next month. He was able to schedule & complete the work within about two to three weeks, between other projects. Jeremy & Dave finished the work over the span of two weekends. I'd already installed the floor, and bought the vanity, faucet, door hardware, light & toilet. Jeremy installed the door, moulding, hardware, baseboard, vanity, faucet & plumbing, and relocated the bathroom light, which was not centered over the vanity beforehand. The bathroom fan venting proved to be awkward and complicated, requiring winding the venting around obstacles & across the ceiling, then through the far basement wall to the outside. The completed project looks great & is now fully functional. The project cost was a little higher than I'd originally projected, but seeing the detail work required to finish everything changed my mind about that.

I was very impressed with the quality of work and the short time it took them to finish. I would definitely hire them again......

We have used DJM Construction for 2 previous projects and were pleased with the results. This was the largest project we had them do. The cost was for labor and materials only. All finishing and appliances were furnished by us. Dave worked with us every step of the way as he has on all past projects. Since this was a new addition, there weren't any surprises from a work perspective. Working through the plumbing permit by myself was cumbersome, but that is more of a knock against Allegheny County then DJM. Dave provided all the required drawings to Shaler Township for the building permit and made all the minor adjustments that the building inspector required. As always were are pleased with the work. Dave even came back to make some minor touchups after we had settled into the new addition.

When they installed the railing on the lower deck they also installed a gate on the top deck. The railing was perfect but there was one cracked board in the gate. I pointed out this problem to Dave and he fixed it the next day.

They responded promptly when we reached out to them. Both my husband and I were not available during weekdays due to our work schedule, they were very flexible on their end and cooprated with us over the weekends. They showed up right on time, and finished the jobs beautifully.

Dave and his team (Don and Mike) were great to work with and did an incredible job. Dave was very responsive from the get go starting with his proposal. Don and Mike were promptly at work each morning at least 5 days a week (usually 6 with work on Saturdays), worked hard all day, and kept the job site very clean at the end of each day. They put flooring protection down from the master bath to the exterior to keep our floors clean and they covered the furniture each day in our bedroom to keep it clean. Don and Mike were very professional and a pleasure to work with. Dave, Don and Mike were very communicative and kept us up to speed on the progress of the work and consulted us when decisions needed to be made. I am very pleased especially with the natural stone wall and floor tile installation, which I know was a difficult install as each tile was slightly different. On example of their attention to detail was in respect to the installation of our vanity top. The top was part of a vanity system my wife and I purchased from Restoration Hardware. The stone top had flaws and we ultimately had to request 3 different tops before we received one that did not contain flaws. Dave was very forthright in stating his opinion that he would not install it in his own home and did not recommend we install it in ours. My wife also felt very comfortable with them in the house each day as they were very courteous and respectful to her and our children. When we are ready to have our kitchen remodeled and our deck rebuilt, we are definitely going to call Dave. As an architect, I understand quality and value in a contractor. Dave and his team deliver on both fronts.

I am beyond delighted with the results of my new kitchen. Matt and Mike, who performed the work with oversight by Dave, are professional craftsmen who rightly take pride in their work, not an easy thing to find these days. As expected, there were surprises on this job. When the original ceiling was removed, debris from the 25 year old bathroom remodel fell out. Apparently, the bathroom remodelers had just thrown debris into the floor and set the bathtub on top of it. Result was that the years of extra weight had bowed the floor joist and created stress cracks. Dave's crew braced the stressed joist and installed 2x4s on all of the other joists, resulting in a ceiling 1" lower than original, which is a small price to pay not to have the bathtub in the kitchen! Most of the wiring was still knob & tube, so that had to be brought up to date. Though these items were unexpected, Dave's crew made the repairs/updates without complaint. Mike and Matt worked diligently every day, including a couple of Saturdays, to move the job along. Each step in the process was done with an attitude of "do it the right way". No shortcuts were taken. They consulted w/me regarding layout of the floor tile, placement of outlets, etc. and offered their opinions (which I encouraged) about my choices. Their attention to detail is awesome...baseboards and door framing match the style of the rest of the house EXACTLY, which was no easy task since the house was built in the 1920s. The wall and base cabinets are precisely aligned w/one another; no attitude of "close enough". There were some extras added by me which added to the price and time frame, but all were performed professionally. A note, too, about cleanliness. The kitchen was sealed off w/plastic and tape so there was minimal dust in the rest of the house. Each day the work area was cleaned up, including the garage which was used as a workshop. I could keep rattling on, but hope I've made the point that this company is professional and performs high quality work. I'm already working on other project ideas that I can hire the for.
