D R Miller Home Improvements

I never got a response to my inquiry so I just moved on.didn't know how to rate someone who was non responsive not knowing the reason why so I gave middle of the road review.

After calling several contractors in the area Don provided the fastest response and was the first to get back with a quote. Pricing was reasonable so we hired him for the job. Don and his crew showed up on time and got to work immediately. They knocked out the job in 1 day even though it was scheduled for 2 days. They really hustled and barely stopped for a lunch break. The repair work was done well and even after some unexpected damage was discovered he was very reasonable with the additional cost. Overall we are very happy with the service Don provided us. We would definitely recommend him and would use his company again in the future.

Mr. Miller started out doing good work. As time went on more and more I had to question him on work that later fixed. I had just gotten out of the hospital after a three year stay. I was put on bed rest. I would give Mr. Miller my Lowes card to get materials with no problems. The card was full and we still needed materials. Again I told Mr. Miller I would need this money back. He promised I would get every penny back. So I gave him my credit card to finish getting the materials I needed. Shortly after the grant from the government came through. By then all the work on their list was done and paid for by me. We received the first draw of about 2,900.00 dollars. Mr. Miller told me he would use those monies to do the last two things on the list and on the next draw we would get the lifts and final two draws would come back to me. To my surprise Mr. Miller received the second draw of over 9,000.00. But instead of getting the lifts he kept all the money and dropped out of sight. He hasn't contacted me or returned my calls or text. When I received my credit card bill I found he had taken 4,000,00 dollars of of my card for which he hasn't paid back and the intrest is building every month. I have a court date with him this month. I kept all the text messages from all conversations. Can't wait to hear him lie to a judge. My advise to anyone who reads this is to beware. If he will cheat and steal from a disable vet he will get you too.

Don came out and inspected the deck. He provided a written estimate for the work to be done which include power wash, minor repairs and paint. He was also helpful in helping us decide whether to stain, paint or try a Deckover product. The deck looks great. Don also provided us information on how to maintain the deck for years to come.

We called Angie's List for suggestions and D R Miller Home Improvements gave us some referrals. We chose Scalitito home contracting and they arrived that afternoon within 15 minutes of scheduled time. Friendly people. They took a long time fixing the light switch. I asked them questions about some other projects I might use them for and they gave input.. Then they spent time trying to persuade us to contact a realtor friend to sell our house. Little known to us, they charged us for all this time which totaled 1 1/2 hours. They said they had another job near us and they were happy to be able to do both jobs with one trip. I do not know what time their other appointment was. We felt that $189 was a lot to basically fix a wall light switch and reset the jet tub button. I guess I learned not to ask questions about possible other jobs or get into any kind of discussion with contractors.. Also, I neglected to get a cost estimate before the work was started.

remodeling needs.Don was very professional and tried to work out a price and financing model to fit our needs. Even though we did not choose Don in the end to do our remodel due to financing terms we needed to have the work done , we felt Don did what he could do to help us and to meets his need for his business. We hope that in the future we may be able to have don perform other projects in our home as we make improvements and would recommend him to others at least to give him a chance to meet their remodeling needs

It went well they gave us the best price and it was done quickly.

I called Don back in March and set-up a time for him to come to my house. He showed up as scheduled and provided a quote within a few days. He started work right after we signed the contract in March. He made steady progress and kept me informed, except during June progress slowed but he made up for it in July and finished the job. He did excellent work and paid great attention to the finishing detailed work. I will be hiring him to do future work that I want done to the outside of the house. Overall I was very pleased and would highly recommend him.

I received a grant from the government to make my home wheelchair accessible I contacted Mr. Miller. He came to my home we went over all. the things to be done. He agreed he would do them. It took time to get the paperwork done, but once it was approved by the government work went slowly and was never completed.

A little delaye but not due to contractors fault. Problem with Lowes ordering wrong parts.

I did meet with him to do some work on a house that I was going to buy but that sale fell through so I didn't really do the work. But he was excellent. He was very prompt, punctual, friendly, professional and he turned around a quote within two days. I had also seen some pictures of his work and it looked great.

The work from start to finish was excellent. Don Miller has a team ready to handle any home project. Since it was a general remodel, little things here and there would come up additionally and they were handled with ease. I got great advice from him and his team on all of the work needed in my home, and overall I am so happy with the results. The work took about 3-4 weeks total, which was very fast considering the scope of the job. I plan to use them again for a front door installation and crown molding - and probably anything else I ever need done in my house. I recommend using them for any home project, and have recommended them to my friends and family already. If there is anything they can't do, Don will tell you right away and suggest alternatives. Overall very talented and professional!

We have everything ready for him to install our flooring for the kitchen/ dining room for Jan. 21st, 2013 and he cancelled, and cancelled again and again. He said he was coming on Feb 4th but we weren't really sure and he never verified it. If he was coming it was going to be between 8 and 9am. At 9:20am he shows up. I questioned him about being late and he said it was only by a couple of minutes. I asked why he didn't call to say he was going to be a couple minutes late. He said he didn't think it was necessary. He definitely tried my patience by canceling so many times but to show up with an attitude was too much for me. I sent him away and will look for someone else. Hopefully someone without the attitude and shows up the 1st time you make an appointment.

Wasn't interested in project. Had to search for contractor elsewhere. Only works on larger projects.

Don came over for an estimate, very promptly. He figured out what needed to be looked at and gave us a very reasonable estimate. They got started within about 2 weeks, and brought in special electrics folks to make sure all was going to work and was safe. The weather slowed things down a little, but the whole project was done within 2 weeks. He even found a deck stain they could use immediately and gave us a discount on the staining. They were extremely receptive to our thoughts and concerns, and we now have a tremendous deck, that will last for many many years to come!

I would give D.R. Miller Home Improvements ‘A's across the board. I would use him again in the future.

After our roof began leaking onto several areas of our ceiling we signed up for Angie's List and began contacting those with good ratings. The first two contractors that showed up told us we needed an entire roof replacement as the 10 year old shingles were no longer any good. Three or four of the other contractors we contacted by phone failed to even return our phone calls. Even though he lives almost an hour away, we decided to contact Don Miller. What a shock....not only did he return our phone calls and emails, but stated he would promptly travel almost an hour to check out our roof. Mr. Miller showed up as promised and thoroughly checked both the outside and inside of our roof. He said we did not need a new roof. He believed the leaks were coming from a faulty ridge vent. He gave us a very reasonable quote and told us he would start the work within a week...weather permitting. Don Miller showed up as scheduled and completed the work within the day. He left our property spotless. It has been almost 3 months since Don Miller replaced the ridge vent and despite some intense thunder storms we have had no further leaks onto our ceilings. We can't tell you how much we appreciate Mr. Miller's wonderful workmanship to go along with his outstanding honesty and integrity. He truly is a gem.

He was responsive and I was impressed that he provided this information over the phone. He even went so far so to offer the name of a plumber that he works with that would be able to come if the odor continued. I was very impressed with Don and I would definately use him in the future should I need any work performed on my house. Free advice ! When was the last time anyone had that ... Thanks Don !

Mr. Miller came to our house to provide an assessment of on a major remodeling project - a grandparent apartment. We had just one experience with him; our parent decided he would rather be in an apartment. We found him prompt, professional, friendly and forthcoming. He did not stint on the time he spent with us, was obviously experienced in presenting technical information in layperson terms (my husband was more conversant with building details than I was, but he did not leave me out). He also answered some questions about unrelated HVAC issues we just happened to be having that week.We will certainly call him in the future should we need remodeling work. Although we did not use his services, I wanted to put in a good word for him.

I did not use him because I did not like his personality. He wasn't really bad and I would consider getting work done by him in the future, but the other people that I choose were better with the way they communicated with me the first time and overall I liked them better and I was comfortable with them.

Don did a great job! Very little delay between calling and having him out for an estimate. Once he started, he got the job done as quickly as the drying spackle would allow. He paid great attention to the little finishing details, even though they were only closets. He also left the site clean after each day. We would highly recommend Don and would definitely consider him for future work.

They did the job very well and it was excellent. The experience was very good. The quality of wok was good and he said he was going to be here at a certain time and he was here. I thought everything was just excellent. I paid about $175 for him to get on the roof and about $30 for the rubber that they had to go out and buy.

Don Miller is a great contractor and a good guy. He is punctual, reliable, and an extremely hard worker. We needed our garage split into a workshop and a laundry room. The laundry room was Don's project. We called him and he got back to us that night to set up an appointment and he has been keeping us up to date as to when he will be here and what he will be doing. He asked us exactly what we wanted done, came up with some great suggestions, gave us an estimate and a written quote. He continues to solve any issues that arise. He is not your typical contractor that comes in and is all about the money they can rip you off for. He actually tries to keep costs down and do the job as economically as he can. He is precise and neat in his work. He knows what he is doing and if he has any hesitation about his limitations he calls in one of his professional acquaintnces. Don knows everyone in the "contractor business" and has refered us to everyone we need to do other jobs, since we just moved to this area. He only refers the best. We are very happy with his work. He estimated one week to do the entire job and is just about on target. I would recommend Don Miller to anyone who needs a good contractor.

It was great experience, no hiccups. Some delay because of weather but communication was great. I would highly recommend Don.

In late October 2011, we contacted D. R. Miller on the basis of reports on Angie's List. We also liked the fact that he lived in the area. Although the jobs on our list seemed relatively small, Mr. Miller (Don) responded promptly to our emailed inquiry. We arranged a meeting so he could look over the work to be done and give us an estimate. We accepted the estimate which seemed fair and reasonable. We also liked Don's suggestions about additional details we hadn't thought of (such as covers for some exposed baseboard heat pipes). Since he had jobs to finish for other customers, we agreed that work on the garage would be done first (while the weather was still good), and he would begin the inside work after Christmas. The garage work was nicely done. Don kept us informed of when he would start, and arrived promptly in the morning on Jan. 4, Due to the age of the house, we knew there might be some unexpected problems, and there was one: when he removed the ceiling paneling, we saw that an old beam, cut many years ago to install heat/ac ducts, needed to be replaced in order to hold the weight of the drywall. We were concerned, but Don did a great job on the replacement. In fact, the new beam adds a nice detail to the room. We had originally planned to put new drywall only on about two-thirds of the room, but when we saw how nice it was beginning to look, we talked to Don about the possibility doing the rest of the room. We agreed on the additional price, and were extremely pleased with our decision. It was a pleasure to work with Don. He arrived each weekday morning between 8-8:30. If he was going to be delayed, he called, and when he left for lunch or other reasons, he let us know. He's a meticulous craftsman, and did all of the work himself. Everything (including clean-up and the other small jobs) was completed by Jan. 16th. We appreciate Don's "no job too small" policy, and he will be the first person we call the next time we need work done.
