Dale has built a company that is known for exceptional craftsmanship, attention to detail, professionalism, and an unwavering commitment to client satisfaction. > What sets Dale apart is the way he treats his clients. He has always placed a tremendous emphasis on communication, integrity, and delivering an outstanding experience from start to finish. In fact, many of the customer service principles we use in our own company today were inspired by watching how Dale and his team conduct business. > DSC DesignWorks has been a leader in the residential remodeling industry for decades, and their reputation is well-earned. Their projects are organized, their standards are high, and their clients consistently receive an exceptional finished product. > It has been an honor to work alongside Dale and his team for so many years. We highly recommend DSC DesignWorks to anyone looking for a remodeling contractor that truly operates at the highest level. **★ — HU-326910691, Nov. 2021** > In searching for a new contractor, I was shocked to see pictures of my kitchen on the website of DSC Designworks. Especially since we were so dissatisfied with the workmanship, quality, and lack of responsibility from this contractor throughout our project. The hickory cabinets represented on the DSC website were my design; I envisioned, shopped for and chose the hickory myself. The contractor rarely visited our site and instead sent a terrible subcontractor who did sloppy work and made numerous errors. At each step of the way, we had to point out examples of shoddy work and even ended up having to patch a blotched drywall spot ourselves. When we expressed frustration, we were met with defensiveness. The cabinets are not durable, btw, we have had to replace the protective coating ourselves because it started wearing off and peeling within 3 years. **★★★★★ — Lisa wendland, Oct. 2019** > We have worked with Dale and DSC DesignWorks for over 16 years. Most recently, they completed a major kitchen and deck remodel. Chris is excellent on details and a good communicator. Jordan is a hard worker and always has a positive attitude. Randy made us the most beautiful cabinets ever, each custom made, and has incredible attention to detail. Dale has an amazing eye for detail and has always worked hard to be sure every last item is to our liking and in line with his high standards. We never worried about having the DSC team in our house and actually missed them a bit after they were done! If you want a great outcome at a fair price, Call DSC. **Comment from DSC DesignWorks:** > Thank you, Lisa, for your kind words. We always love having the pleasure of working with you and John! **★ — Donna & Paul Stanley, Sept. 2019** > Well, after 5 weeks and 2 days, the rebuild of our backyard steps and railings were finally completed. Five weeks! We would like to give kudos to Rodney, Chris, Ian and Randy for a job well done but it would seem if they actually worked every day, this job could have been finished in a lot shorter time. Communication isn't a strong suit with this company either. There would be days when no one showed up but of course couldn't let us know that. We were charged more than the original bid which we will take part blame for not bringing up things that we thought would be included in the rebuild like the lattice that we talked about in our initial meeting. But getting an added charge because "material allowances were too conservative" is totally on the company. Period. We would not hire this company again. **★★★★★ — Jim Stutts, May 2019** > Excellent work on major project to repair/rebuild deck, repair interior wall damage, install exterior and interior rail system, paint exterior. All employees were extremely competent and courteous. **★★★★★ — Jed Macy, May 2019** > Dale took my specs and came back with great new cabinetry for all of our bathrooms. That was about 15 years ago. We are still thrilled at how well they turned out. **★★★★★ — Viveca Leusch, May 2019** > DSC did a complete overhaul on our downtown condo over 23 years ago and the condo looks as good as it did when the project was completed. The work included kitchen and bathroom remodels, custom entry and custom fireplace, crown moldings with architectural entry ways throughout, etc. Dale and his team are extremely professional, creative thinkers and problem solvers, and committed to completing the work in the timeline quoted. I would strongly recommend DSC for any remodeling projects. **Comment from DSC DesignWorks:** > Thank you, Viveca, Thank you so much for the kind words! **★★★★ — Madde Gonyea, May 2019** > Dale and his team were awesome to work with. Timely, honest, trustworthy, hardworking. Will for sure use them on my next project. **Comment from DSC DesignWorks:** > Thank you Madde it was a pleasure working with you! **★★★★ — Raymond Renken, Oct. 2016** > The work was done very well with the help of subcontractors. It was well coordinated with no delays. Dale checked and rechecked daily as the subcontractors did their individual jobs, which included removing siding, insulation, replacing damaged structure, removing 12 windows and replacing or repairing all of the above, exterior and interior **★★★★★ — Mary Schoessler, Oct. 2016** > Dale at DSC Designworks remodeled my basement turning it from a dark crowded storage area into a beautiful, open, master bedroom suite. He kept me informed throughout the process, frequently (almost daily) inspected the quality of the work, made high quality suggestions to improve the outcome and ensured that everything was done down to the last detail. I would not hesitate to have him do more work for me. **★★★★★ — Ann Van Allen, Oct. 2016** > Great to work with. Kept updated on the progress of my job. Excellent end product. He was very professional and thorough. **★★★★★ — John Morris, Oct. 2016** > I have used DSC for multiple projects over a period of almost ten years on a series of projects with costs of well over $100,000. I have been and continue to be extremely pleased with their responsiveness and the quality of their work. At this point I call on them to do work without calling anyone else. ## Selected projects - [Lake Oswego Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lake-oswego-remodel-pj-vj~5834636) - Location: Lake Oswego, OR - Photos: 18 - Description: Our clients were looking for a new design in their home.

It’s functional indoor, outdoor look lets you relax outside in any weather. The railing is a cable stainless steel handrail. Here in Oregon, it can get cold and you don’t want to always stay indoors.

We flush-mounted them into the ceiling of the overhang. - [Portland Kitchen remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/portland-kitchen-remodel-pj-vj~5720925) - Location: Portland, OR - Photos: 4 - Description: These calico hickory kitchen cabinets are durable, dense and shock resistant.

So we removed a wall and shifted the doorway a little. When we removed the wall we found this beautiful beam and couldn’t just cover it back up.

In addition to that we helped them create a master bathroom with a tropical island feel to it. - [Portland Bathroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/portland-bathroom-pj-vj~573356) - Location: Portland, OR - Photos: 10 - Description: When remodeling old homes we feel it’s important to stick with the period of the home and that’s just what Anne of Anne Runde Interiors did.

Any suggestions on what color to paint the front door in this photo? White would match the trim, Gray the roof and floors. All advice appreciated! Thanks! A: Teal **Q: Carlsbad Contemporary Kitchen Remodel** *(in Before & After)* I don't know that I have ever seen our team remodel a kitchen that is quite like this one. They are all unique but this one has a feminine feel to it that none of our others have. I love the white shaker cabinets, quartz countertops, and flooring but those are all pretty standard choices now a days - what makes this kitchen special, I think, is the paint color (WOW) and the unique chevron backsplash combined with those beautiful light fixtures. See more photos of this project on Houzz Projects Page! A: Nice backsplash! **Q: Before & After Kitchen Remodel Photos** *(in Home Decorating)* Here are a few pics of our before and after kitchen remodel. Basically everything is new and we slightly changed the layout, but didn't move or remove any walls. It's still new so I have not added personal touches yet like rugs, etc. It's hard to photograph because it's a long and skinny space. We also did cosmetic changes to the adjacent powder room (wallpaper, mirror, lights, fixtures). The last pic of the tall cabinet is where the kitchen desk used to be. There is so much storage. We have a large family so this is one of my favorite parts of the kitchen. It was a long road having to eat and make meals in our dining room, but very worth it I think! A: Very nice! Everything looks so very open and clean. **Q: Kitchen Before + After** *(in Before & After)* We always love a good before and after picture and this kitchen did not disappoint! We took down the wall separating the breakfast nook and added a floor to ceiling pantry. We did a warm wood floor with crisp white cabinets and did a textured neutral tile all the way to the ceiling. Let us know what you think! A: Very nice! **Q: Beautiful home. I was hoping you would share the stain color on wood** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Stunning **Q: Our kitchen re-do!** *(in Before & After)* No question! Just for your viewing pleasure! A: I love how bright your kitchen is now! And those letters are adorable. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-11-11.*
