He had two subs that had difficulty in following the plans. But Danny bird dogged them and we did get the work done properly. Easy to work with and didn't nickel and dime the client. With all good subs I would not hesitate to recommend Danny again for smaller commercial projects. **★★★★★ — Doc Watkins, Jan. 2018** > Highly recommend! We hired Danny and Rhino Design Build to complete a back room renovation, as well as a complete rewiring of our house. Danny is terrific to work with, and his team completed the job on time and on budget. Will definitely use them again for our next project. Two thumbs up. **Comment from Rhino Design Build, LLC:** > Doc, it was an honor to work with you and Jessica on your home renovation project. We are very thankful for your business and continued referrals. > > Danny **★★★★★ — Dan Anthony, Dec. 2017** > Rhino Design completed an extensive remodel on a 6 unit apartment building for our investment company. Danny and his team did a great job working through the complexities of having tenants. The work was great and within the budget estimated. We will work with Rhino Design again on our next project! **★★★★★ — Tres Buchek, Dec. 2017** > Rhino Design build added a second story to our home and completely renovated the first floor. Danny was easy to work with and stayed on budget. Changes mid construction were never a problem as Danny was always accommodating. **★★★★★ — J Russ, Dec. 2017** > We are very impressed with communication and follow through. Awesome use of subs for best pricing and estimates. Very professional and on time. **★★★★ — Kent Van Sickle, Dec. 2017** > Very knowledgeable, thorough and professional. Help me realize my dream of renovating my house and it turned out better than I expected! **★★★★★ — EFG Architect, Dec. 2017** > Danny Garcia possesses many outstanding qualities that stand out, and honesty is at the top of the list. His word is solid and understands the meaning of quality work. **★★★★★ — pbelt33, Dec. 2017** > Danny of Rhino Design Build is an outstanding builder and remodeler. We are working with Danny on our second luxury home that he has helped us build. He is very professional, knowledgeable & has lots of patience. He gives advice in planning and building that is helpful. He is also a very good listener. He gives advice in ways that make you feel that your choices are not pushed upon you. He is very frugal with "your" money! It is also a Christian > Thanks & God Bless Danny! > > Melven & Pam B. **Comment from Rhino Design Build, LLC:** > Thank you Pam. I am proud to help you and Melven with your family home. **★★★★★ — Frank Bernosky, April 2017** > We decided to convert our sunken shower into a ground-level shower. It was a small project and it was difficult to find anyone interested in the task. After contacting several contractors, resulting in no call-backs or being turned down, we came across Rhino Design Build. It was the best decision we made. > Danny looked at our project and gave us a detailed description of how the conversion would take place. He stopped by several times throughout the conversion to check on the progress, insuring that the work was being done properly and to our satisfaction, always answering any questions that we had. > Antonio, his sub-contractor, did an amazing job. He is an excellent craftsman, > “measuring three times, cutting once”. He is a true artisan. He protected the flooring and carpet immediately before starting the project, taking great care to protect our floors and home. He and his crew are respectful, honest and trustworthy. Upon completion of the project, Antonio and his crew removed all debris and removed all the protective coverings they had installed. > We would highly recommend the Rhino Build team to anyone who may be looking for a knowledgeable, dependable, and caring contractor. You could find no better. > At the end of the project, we have not only a superb job, but a new friend! **Comment from Rhino Design Build, LLC:** > Mr. Bernosky, we are very thankful for your confidence in us. Thank you for the review! **★★★★★ — Ruben Fonseca, April 2017** > Danny and his crew at Rhino built our new garage and driveway. It was by and far the best experience I have ever had with a contractor of any sort. They stayed in touch with me, sent pictures to my phone as evidence of progress, handled all the permitting and city issues, left a clean work area, and consistently checked for the quality of their work in progress. Great job! **Comment from Rhino Design Build, LLC:** > Ruben, > > We appreciate the opportunity to build your detached garage. Thank your for your business. **★★★★★ — jakemessbarger, Jan. 2015** > Rhino Design Build took our tiny 1400 square foot cottage and took it to 2000 square feet with a screened in porch, indoor/outdoor fireplace and garage. It was very important to us to keep true to 1940's style. Danny worked with us on every detail. He was an amazing adviser on each decision and kept us informed of any and all issues, questions, etc... every step of the way. We had an insanely short schedule to do this massive remodel and he was on time and on budget. **Comment from Rhino Design Build, LLC:** > Jessica, > > We hope you and your family are enjoying the added living space. Thank you for your review. **★★★★ — klsmelko, Jan. 2015** > The guys at Rhino are very polite and responsive. All of their subs are equally as polite and trustworthy. They do an excellent job at a very competitive price. **Comment from Rhino Design Build, LLC:** > Katherine, > > Thank you for your referrals. It was a pleasure to work with you and John on both of your homes. ## Selected projects - [Monte Vista Home Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/monte-vista-home-remodel-pj-vj~1258621) - Location: San Antonio, TX - Photos: 26 - Description: This full renovation in the Monte Vista subdivision delivered a complete transformation of an older home into a modern, high performing space.
