They have been professional, communicative and ready with solutions at every step of this very challenging rebuild. ### All 17 reviews **★★★★★ — Diversified Builders Inc, Aug. 2020** > Dan and DMS Contractors have been doing construction projects for us for many years. I can’t say enough about their knowledge and professionalism. They obviously have many years doing custom construction. **★★★★★ — DAVID A LEWIS, Dec. 2019** > Great guys to work with, they do very high quality work and go way above and beyond to make sure you're happy with the finished project. **★★★★★ — Studio H2O, Jan. 2018** > It has been a pleasure working with Dan on a very complex water feature project. We've had a few very productive meetings that has resulted in a beautiful design for this project. I truly appreciate Dan for being able to understand my views and being able to implement the ideas into reality. I recommend Dan for any complex projects that need attention. **★★★★★ — anita H., Aug. 2017** > I would recommend this company for any remodeling needs! I live in a 47 year old. I do complex which was in deplorable condition. The wooden facade was damaged by sun & termites, the wooden patio fencing was equally bad. We also had five balconies that were severally compromised. These magicians took a limited budget and repurposed wherever possible, did craftsman work, and at the end of the day most residents had no idea they had been here. Their professionalism was in every level - skilled wood workers, respectful of the work site, and helpful in keeping the large project on budget. > A realtor who had sold a unit a few months before the project began recently returned to sell the same unit and was stunned at the incredible improvement of the place! Our curb appeal is amazing now! Thank you DMS! **★★★★★ — Kara Soufer, Oct. 2016** > Dan and Chris from DMS are really pros at what they do. We remodeled our home in Malibu with them in 2014 and were super happy with their work. > > Of course our job had snags- things went wrong and problems had to be creatively solved. And that is where they shine; no matter what hurdle we faced, my mind was set as ease as Dan and Chris figured out solutions to our plumbing problems,flooring dilemmas and the other challenges of making a 25 year old house blend in with new construction. > Calm cool collected, and always availlable by text and phone, I would work again with DMS. **★★★★★ — Mehrnoosh Mojallali, Oct. 2016** > They always do great work and results are fabulous and they also hire great sub contractor. They also always on time and budget. I have known and work with them for the past 20 years. Their communication skills are great and always keep the architect and owner/client informed on the daily bases. **★★★★★ — Clif Jones, Aug. 2016** > DMS is THE company for your re-modeling needs . These guys are on top of it ! > I am a Painting Contractor who has done at least a half dozen projects with them . Their clients are quite pleased with them at the end of the project where the Painting happens . That's rare with a General Contractor / Homeowner . Usually the client / contractor relationship has some major hiccups - not with DMS ! Seriously - I'm proud to work on their projects . Beautiful startups and remodels ! DMS is my favorite company to work for / with . **★★★★★ — Steven Snow, Aug. 2016** > The work they did on my house was outstanding. Very few emergent issues and those that came up were handled without issue. Project was completed on time. And no push back emergent requests from me. Will use DMS again in the future. **★★★★★ — Robert Herrick, July 2016** > Great Job from DMS, really impressive guys who work hard and are highly flexible. > > Great project managers and organisation. Rudy is great and works very hard. **★★★★★ — jwalker5361, June 2016** > DMS is classy, fair and tasteful -- we own a 2000 sq ft home in the Hollywood Hills, and DMS has executed a beautiful designer kitchen and bathroom for us. Dan Spiegel and Rudy Sidon -- love these guys! **★★★★★ — bhensel, June 2016** > I have worked with DMS for over 25 years. They have remodeled rooms, added rooms and helped me with complete renovations as well as assisting with the construction of pools and new buildings > > I cannot recommend them any higher. I would rate them a ten out of ten. They are artistic, ethical and moral. They are hard working and completely reliable. > > PERHAPS MOST IMPORTANT, THEY DELIVER. What they say is what they do. That goes for cost and for quality. When they say they will do something, it is done exactly as they design and finish. If there are any surprises, they warn me and discuss solutions. > > I would use them for new or renovation construction; from the planning to the finish stage. I stake my own reputation on these facts. > > Bruce Hensel, M.D. **★★★★★ — dgranpee, March 2016** > very professional quality job. made several modifications as i requested during the job, used highest quality materials, end product is amazing. great people to work with **★★★★★ — Campbell Wellman, March 2016** > I have worked with DMS and recommended them to several of my clients and they continue to impress. They are prepared for any situation, thorough, professional, easy to work with, clean, and most importantly on budget. > > I would recommend DMS for any scope project you may have. Their quality of work is unmatched in the industry. **★★★★★ — qwest23, March 2016** > I have hired DMS for multiple projects of mine and I cannot say enough about the quality of craftsmanship to the great communication they display through every step of the way. This has ranged from a complete remodel which turned into a BEAUTIFUL home to also a couple kitchen and bath remodels. Dan and Chris at DMS always do a wonderful job of communication and more importantly even do VERY high end work which comes out about as nice as you can get it! This is why I continue to go back to them for my needs whether on my own home or on spec houses that I have done. I'm always skeptical to recommend contractors but they have earned my trust over the years! **★★★★★ — sofieh33, March 2016** > I cannot emphasize enough how amazing DMS contractors are. Every aspect of my house was organized and finished with style and confidence. I will work with them exclusively on all of my projects. Their customer service is unparalleled and unlike most contractors, they are responsive and are real team players. **★★★★★ — BFC Design, March 2016** > Our Company B.F.C.

A: Ipe **Q: Did you use luxury vinyl plank flooring for the actual tub surround?** *(in Photo Questions)* Did you use luxury vinyl plank flooring for the actual tub/shower surround? If yes, can it be installed horizontally instead of vertically, or does it matter other than style choice? Also if yes, do you need to glue the plank flooring on the walls (unlike installing it on the floor)? A: Hi Cynthia, It is actually porcelain tile that the designer picked out. We added metal trims for the borders and niches corners. And yes, it can be installed either way with regular thin set. Hope this helps :) Dan **Q: hello, can you tell me what floor tile this is?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: I'm sorry, I cannot but I will try and reach out to the designer that purchased it. Best, Dan **Q: love the kitchen island stools, where can i get them?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Hello. My company actually built the island itself, but the designer purchased the stools. Not sure where he got them from. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-08-17.*
