D Michael Designs

Dave was professional and diligent all the way through the process. From the moment I met him I new he was going to get the job done. He arrived on time for the estimate, asked pertinent questions, took notes, made sure he fully understood what I wanted, and gave me a thorough estimate in a timely manner. Once we got the job started, his guys arrived on time, worked hard through the whole day, and did excellent workmanship. He even sent me emails each morning to let me know what time the guys were going to arrive and what kind of work they were going to be doing that day. I had a few changes to make during the course of the job and he handled it perfectly. The job got done in a timely manner and it was exactly what I wanted. He wasn’t the cheapest estimate that I found, nor was he the most expensive. But I’m glad I picked him for the job. It was a good experience. I will use him again as we expand our clinics to create nice work spaces for us. I can highly recommend D Michael Designs to anybody who needs interior construction!

Working with Dave Peters was a pleasure from start to finish. His professionalism, expertise and dedication to making sure everything was done the way we wanted was second to none. And his long-term relationships with excellent craftsmen says a LOT about his character. We couldn't be happier with our home and highly recommend Dave!

D. Michael Designs exceeded all our expectations for a kitchen, living room and laundry room remodel. We had some apprehension choosing a builder to complete our project, but all I can say is we hit the jackpot with Dave Peters of D. Michael designs. Here are a few reasons we would not hesitate to recommend D. Michael Designs: 1. Dave is timely - if he said he was going to meet at a certain time he was usually 5 minutes early. 2. Dave will provide morning email updates (before 7am) stating what work will be accomplished that day. 3. Dave has a dedicated set of subcontractors he used for our project: the carpenters, tile installers, electrician, plumber and cabinet guy were all exceptional. 4. Dave puts everything in writing so there are no surprises. 5. Dave has accounts with several local businesses so we could access builder pricing for our appliances, tile, countertops, etc. 6. Dave demands perfection. On periodic project walk throughs he would often notice things that needed to be addressed before we did. 7. When we were out of town, Dave provided pictures of the project so we could see the progress being made (he has an Instagram account) Don't hesitate to talk with Dave of D. Michael designs, you won't be disappointed.

Professional experience throughout. The demo and entire project was handled professionally from start to finish by Dave Peters. All of the contractors/team were professional, engaging and extremely polite. The house looks great…backsplashes in the kitchen and bathroom looks great as does all the tile work on shower walls and around our fireplace. New LVP flooring looks fantastic. Highly recommend D Michael Design and Dave Peters!

It was excellent from beginning to end. Dave had great communication on a daily basis. His stayed very close to the project on site daily. This was a very large project and I could not be happier. I would highly recommend going with D. Michael.

Very good! The 2 men who installed the new door worked hard but quickly. The drywall we was a real professional. Couldn’t believe what he did in just a couple hours. The next day, the two installers came back and installed the trip. Later that day the painter came and finished the project. He was very neat and his work was better than I hoped for. What a good crew of workers! Very pleased.

Dave was great to work with. He was very forthcoming and very knowledgeable. He provided daily updates and would respond to my email or text messages promptly, most within an hour. The quality of work was excellent. His concrete subcontractor though made a number of mistakes which was quite frustrating but he got them to fix the issues. It did take the subcontractor several tries before they fixed it so that was disappointing. However, the end product look wonderful. I would definitely highly recommend Dave. In fact, I plan to contract with him again on a future project.

I can’t recommend D Michael Designs enough!! Dave was incredibly helpful from beginning to end. He was very transparent with pricing and timeline which I appreciated. His sub contractors did great work. He gave me regular status updates and I never had a late arrival with anyone on his team. The finished product of my kitchen remodel is beautiful and I am so thankful I was referred to this company. I will be using him in the future for any further projects and already recommended to friends and family.

INCREDIBLE. Would recommend to anyone in need of anything done on a home.

Awesome! Dave was great to work with. We had heard great things about him and D. Michael Designs, and we were very pleasantly surprised with his quote for all of the work. Once we signed our contract, things actually got better. Dave kept us updated every day as to what the schedule was and who would be coming to the house. All of his subs were on time and very pleasant to work with. We had a few issues with material not arriving on time, but that was not Dave's responsibility. Once it did, it was back to work. Overall, we couldn't be happier with how the project turned out.

Excellent work, Much professionalism. Reasonable price. Would definitely use them again and would Highly Recommend them.

These guys are amazing! I have been through several remodels of previous properties and D. Michael Designs is by far the best. They not only started and finished on time, but they also showed up on time every day and worked a full day. They were awesome at problem solving when unexpected things popped up and let me know at the end of each day what they would be doing on the following day. Super friendly and professional. I will definitely be using them for future projects.

Best experience, and I've had many! Dave Peters was perfect to work with: professional, skilled, communicative, exceptionally responsive, trustworthy, and helpful. This was a total gut on an out-of-state rental; down to concrete slab and drywall; also replaced siding, driveway, sidewalk, patio. Finished product looks fantastic, inside and out. The journey was surprisingly free of frustration, thanks to Dave's management. He clearly defined scope, pricing, process upfront; communicated very well throughout the process, including pics and update texts/emails. Highly recommend my new go-to contractor! Thanks, Dave, for making this such a positive experience.

Great he did all the work perfectly, I knew when all workers would be on site and had the job completed in a few days. The doors look and function great, also added lights on exterior. No surprises with quote. Workers cleaned up after and work blends in perfectly with exterior and interior. Recommend him highly!

Excellent job, would definitely recommend them. Professional and great with communication. Good price and quality work.

The work was professional and I was apprised of the work that was to be completed on a daily basis.

They whole process was great. This is the 3rd time we've hired D Michael Designs and again we are extremely happy with the result. Dave is very hands on and is not satisfied until the job is complete and is exactly what we want.

We hired Dave to install a 1600 lb beam into our 2 story home so that we could remove a wall that separated 2 living rooms. We also hired Dave to relocate our front door to the front of our home and add in 2 windows. Dave and crew did both beautifully. The 1 big room looks amazing and the finish work of sheet rocking, tapping, floatings and texturing look awesome!!! My super picky mom even said it looks good (major score there). The front door and windows are so cute and are ready for me to start decorating. I am not going to say this project was without hiccups because this is construction and that is impossible. But Dave and team handled each one with ease and got everything done fabulously. Their communication is fast and they were punctual every morning which I appreciated more than I can express. I highly recommend D Michael Designs!

With the guidance and vision of D. Michael Designs, our 36 year old master bedroom has been transformed from a tired same ole, same ole look to a vibrant, fresh – is this really our bedroom – awakening. The renovation encompassed a complete new look from ceiling to floor. The ceiling was freed from its stale, dusty and out-of-fashion “popcorn” treatment. It and all its supporting walls were freshly painted and textured. A new ceiling fan was installed and a new television was wall-mounted. The wall-to-wall carpet gave way to the warm look of real wood flooring throughout the main bedroom, vanity enclave and walk-in closet. The vanity enclave received a new granite countertop, two rectangular vessel sinks, two separate wall mirrors, two medicine cabinets (one for him and one for her). The supporting vanity base was painted a complimentary grey tone that appeared throughout the master bedroom. The crown jewel of the renovation was the offset shower and commode (enclave). The shower walls, shower flooring and the drainage system were given an enchanting mixed application of tile placement – from the floor up three walls to the ceiling. We installed a modern 36” lateral drain along the longest wall in the shower, and the gradual, effective sloping to drain was exceptionally done. When finished, the tile placement gives the impression of one sharing their shower with a real waterfall. A very nice touch. A large two section niche´ is included in the elongated vertically placed tile. New stainless steel shower head, faucet handle, ADA safety hand bars and double curtain rod (with curtain and a spot to hang our towels) truly enhanced the look. The tile flooring in the remainder of the space and adjacent commode, along with the towel cabinet and built-in laundry hamper continued the effect. This entire room was tastefully done in shades of grey… Enough of the narrative. We’ll let the pictures speak for themselves. A huge thank you to D. Michael Designs and his entire team. The whole process of a major renovation while still residing in the space brings its own level of stress and pressure. From the very first meeting and discussion of what we wanted to do, Dave was by our side. His architectural, design and contract capabilities are above what I could have expected. His punctuality, daily coordination and communication were impeccable. This was a huge undertaking, and without Dave’s patience, ideas and knowledge, I can’t imagine how it would have gone over the past months. I will be forever grateful to Dave and the friendship we developed. I would recommend beyond five stars D. Michael Designs. Robert and Barbara Paul

I would like to share a very positive experience with my hall bathroom remodel. As a repeat customer of D. Michael Designs, I knew he did excellent work. The bathroom had one slight modification (wainscoting) about 20 years ago and was otherwise as it was built in 1983. I had an idea of what I wanted but knew I would need to rely on David's designer input. We knew the foundation of color-scheme desired and proceeded from there. Upon David's visit the next day, he brought tile samples and more for us to look at. His selections were completely in-line with what I envisioned. We selected the materials and then discussed design. He brought viable, exciting ideas to the table, and we quickly agreed to the direction we wanted to go. The results are nothing short of fabulous. I find myself going in, turning on the light (and silent fan) and just embracing the beautiful bathroom created. I look forward to the next phase of our remodel and am confident it will be just as impressive.

While proceeding with some planned renovations, my husband mentioned to the contractor that he had found a small leak by the side of the house. Upon looking closely it was determined a main plumbing line was and had been leaking -- and more than just a little bit. Our designer/contractor, David Michael Designs, did not hesitate to further investigate and have his contractor repair the pipeline. It became obvious this leakage had been having a negative impact on our water usage; and thereby was the reason our water bill had been more than anticipated recently. The skill and professional grace that was provided by D. Michael Design's team (although not having scheduled for or anticipated such an event) saved us both time and money by handling the issue immediately.

Dave did an excellent job for us - he is approachable, professional and extremely trustworthy. Cleans up the work area every evening which is a bonus I know we will use him again!

All went well - again (David had previously updated our kitchen/dining room). Wall board installation/texturing and paint were all top quality. Work was done quickly and conscienciously over the span of a week...no interruptions or days away to other jobs. Floor was protected and all entrances to the room were draped with plastic...dust in the house was virtually non-existant. Electricians arrived as scheduled and did great job with ceiling lights/dimmer switches. Work area kept clean at the end of each day. I am now ready to paint reachable walls and add trim myself. We are fully satisfied with the job provided by D. Michael Designs.

Quality of work and customer service with Dave and his crew were outstanding. The 6x6 Cedar posts supporting the roof/patio cover were rotten. 16 ft, 12ft, and 8 ft posts were replaced in two days. We will definitely be calling on Dave for future repairs.

Within 1 year of constructions, I had a roof leak where the old constructions met the new construction. Called Lone Start State Construction/D. Michael Designs. They came out and looked at it and said it was caused by hail damage. My insurance company paid to have it repaired. On the very next rain, it leaked again. The company that repaired it checked it again. I was told that a piece of trim was placed on the vinyl directly above the new roof. The trim allowed the rainwater to pool there when it was windy. About 1 year later, I noticed a small crack along the entire seam. I thought it wad due to the drought, so I’ve been watering. The crack is now > 1/4” wide. I called a foundation repair company and was told it should still be under warranty. I’ve been trying to call to verify but none of the numbers for D. Michael Design or Lone Star State Constructions I found on the internet or on Angie’s list are functioning. I don’t know if they have gone out of business. I thought that by hiring a professional company that did large projects, and at a higher price, that the work done would be more professional. But I learned that instead, they contracted the work out. From the beginning of construction, I have had problems. They were late, workmanship was poor. The new concrete wasn’t level with the old concrete. I had to fire the contractor and hire my own because wanted to raise the level of the old floor instead if grinding down the level of the new one. The door wasn’t attached properly and it turned out to be a poor grade compared to the one I selected. The drywall did match up right and so I made the corrections myself because I got tired of calling them back to correct things.
