My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

The highest praise I can give Ritchie is that I've asked to come back in the Spring to do some exterior work once the weather clears. He helped me turn my fixer-upper into a home that I love. His versatility, attention to detail, wealth of knowledge and incredibly helpful suggestions are a great compliment to his incredible work ethic and great personality. I was clearly happy with his work and would (and have already) recommend him to anyone looking for design/contracting help.

Ritchie from D by D was very professional. A kitchen renovation can be stressful but Ritchie really listened to what we wanted which gave me confidence that our renovation would be a success and it was!

I was very impressed with the workmanship. He was very professional in dealing with any questions I asked about why he did certain things as he was building the deck. It has been a week since the job has been completed and I have been able to enjoy the result of his work. Thank you very much. His knowledge and work quality is highly rated by me and by those who have seen the results of this project.

DbyD did a bathroom refurbish for us. This is the third project that he has done for us. We have plans to have Ritchie do more projects for us. His work is top notch and comes within the estimated price. Richie has very creative ideas which are well executed. He focuses on details. We are very pleased with the the finished product of the bathroom refurbish as we have been with previous projects!

We had a total kitchen gut where we did the demo ourselves and then hired D by D to complete drywall, painting, lighting, plumbing, and installation of our IKEA kitchen cabinets and floor. Ritchie over saw the entire project from start to finish and coordinated with another company for the electrical and plumbing work. He was wonderful to work with and truly cares about his clients being satisfied with the work. I will be calling D by D again for any future renovation work we need to do. My whole family loves this clean, bright space.

I hired Mr. Donaghue to do the tiling in my custom-built shower stall. This was not a simple job as their were many awkward angles and small/intricate areas to be covered, but Mr. Donaghue did an excellent job! I was thoroughly impressed by the finished product. He was also very professional and left my bathroom just as clean as it was when he started working. I would hire him again for my next project in an instant!

Ritchie did a phenomenal tile job for my mother. He did flooring and shower. His price could not be beat and he was flexible to accommodate her schedule. He went above and beyond to provide great customer service and do a professional job. Lori B.

D by D did a fabulous job finishing my house. Very pleased with the slate work done on my fireplace mantle, bathroom/shower and foyer. My beams in the vaulted ceiling were finished with the same hardwood as on the floor producing an excellent result. All trim matched the modern look of my open concept Great room. I found D by D to be easy to work with and very capable of producing tailored work to suit the look needed and without busting the bank.
