Steffens, Dec. 2022** > Replaced my septic tank in less than five hours and it was operational and backfilled. I will utilize them for any future work I have. **★★★★★ — HU-323732830, March 2022** > Don Thomas Construction installed a septic system for us. I called them one week and the work was scheduled for the following week. Came to the job site with a big crew of good workers and the equipment required. Began work at 8:00 and finished at 11:00. Did a careful job. You could not ask for better people to do work for you. **★★★ — nemiahm, Aug. 2014** > DTC did a very good job in transforming the space above my gararge into a livable space with 1 full bathroom, one bedroom and a large bonus room. > > Overall, I have been happy with the work, Best of all, the contact was a reasonable price and there were no unexpected expenses. > > Quality is ok but a few things needed rework. The project did take quite a bit longer than stated in the contract but it was not urgent on my end. > > I would would recommend DTC a candidate for future construction projects. **★★★★★ — ljtribble53, Jan. 2014** > Don Thomas is a true professional contractor. He was referred to me by another company I was using of mold remediation because I needed the name of an excellent contractor to build me a safe room (addition to my house). While here he had several pictures to show me of his past work and talked to me about my job. During the time we were talking it was discovered by accident that I had problems with my water heater and the whole crawlspace was soaking wet and hot. As it turned out the top valve had popped and in checking further it needed to be repaired right away. Don picked up the phone and got his plumber over to the house pronto with a new part and repaired it. In checking further it was discovered that I would need a new water heater but I was good for the night. First thing the following morning the plumber was back with a new water heater. It was a good thing he came because the new valve had popped as well. They took care of everything without missing a beat and I appreciate the work they did and the promptness in doing it. **★★★★★ — wifesroom, Nov. 2013** > We hired Don Thomas Construction to build a 20 x 20 sun room for my wife and I. We did not want the addition to the back of our house to look like the back end of a cabin or to look like an addition. Don did an excellent job. The addition was weaved into the existing brick. The roof line looks the same. The inside of the room is simply fantastic. It is the envy of of friends. The sun room is everything we wanted. > > While it was being built Don was in constant communication with us letting us know what was to to be done on a daily basis. We were not left guessing on the progress. It came in under budget and on time. > > Therefore, if you are looking for a great contractor. Stop looking, you found him. **★★★★★ — User, Aug. 2013** > Don Thomas is an experienced builder I would recommend to any of my clients. They have the equipment and know how to get your project off the ground. **★★★★★ — jimb10, Aug. 2013** > Don Thomas Construction has done several home remodeling/repairing/maintenance projects for us. In summary, all were completed in a superior/outstanding manner, and at an affordable price. Some special consideration for our situation was also deeply appreciated. Working with Don is a pleasure – he has superior communications skills and a depth of knowledge found in few other contractors, which allow him to make timely, valuable recommendations as to selection of fixtures, materials, and etc. for different types of projects, and to provide extremely accurate cost and schedule estimates. At least equally important is that we totally trust Don (and his employees) based on having several projects completed. Based on experience, we plan to have all of our future work performed by Don Thomas Construction. The following are the referenced projects for which the narrative might be redundant to the above summary, as well as between the individual project narratives: > > Project \# 1 was repair and remodeling of a bathroom to make it more accessible for an adult family member who has limited mobility. We had tried to get estimates and schedule the work with other contractors. Then we met with Don Thomas who correctly perceived our need, and redirected other on-going work for others so that two of his excellent workers could be dedicated to the project. Another example of consideration was that every evening the bathroom was returned to a condition that made it useful for basic functions over-night. > > Project duration: First time to meet Don Thomas was on Monday, April 1, 2013 at 11:00am. Work was started the following day, April 2, 2013, at about 8:00am. Project was completed on Friday, April 5, 2013. > Cost: $3,252.00 > > Project \# 2 was removal and installation of floor covering for two rooms and a hallway. Once again, superior/outstanding work was completed within the desired schedule, and at a fair price. > > Project duration: April 15, 2013 to completion on April 17, 2013 > Cost: $2,176 > > Project \#3 Removed & replaced roofing shingles, flashing, and a little damaged wood for a fairly large house and a fairly large detached garage. Also installed was a new ridge vent system. The job was done in an outstanding manner with outstanding results, and at an affordable price. The roofing crew put in some very long days to ensure that things would stay dry when forecasted rain came. Don, the business owner, knows his business > very well, which allowed him to foresee likely needed repairs, recommend use of superior (but affordable) materials, anticipate the proper amount of time to schedule for job completion, and make an accurate cost estimate. He is also a likeable guy, but this > outstanding assessment of his work is not based on that likeability factor because in my humble opinion, some customers tend to base a good part of their feeling about how well a job is done based on how well they liked the contractor. Another positive attribute is that Don can be trusted in his business dealing. He was totally above board in interacting with us. Plus he has superior communication skills - he was able to clearly explain the needed work to us who have little knowledge of what the work actually entailed. > > Project duration: July 29, 2013 to completion on August 1, 2013 > Cost: $11,200 **★★★★★ — hagerjeff, Aug. 2013** > I had Don add a detached garage to my house. Not a basic garage. Don added an oversized garage with second floor large attic, rear lawn equipment storage area, and an attached patio containing an outdoor kitchen. The garage has indoor and outdoor sinks, wired for surround sound, ceiling fans, can lighting and matches my house detail exactly. The homeowners association requires a detached garage match the house, this is a perfect representation of my house. The bricks, windows, shutters, shingles, siding and details match my home. Don is professional from the start to the finish of the job. We had several yards of concrete poured for the project, which was nicely done, some fencing and septic moving requirements were needed and sod was replaced to finalize the project. He provides detailed plans of what the project will look like and works with his crew to get all details completed to match your initial specifications, to include any required landscaping that may be required. Great company and a professional, polite owner. ## Selected projects - [Custom RV Garage](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/custom-rv-garage-pj-vj~767574) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [Customer Feedback](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/customer-feedback-pj-vj~376951) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 - [Salt Water Pool](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/salt-water-pool-pj-vj~301476) - Location: Athens, AL - Photos: 5 - Description: Salt Water Pool - [Custom Garage and Pool House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/custom-garage-and-pool-house-pj-vj~301472) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 20 - Description: Custom Garage and Pool House - [Dumb Waiter](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/dumb-waiter-pj-vj~363695) - Location: Madison, AL - Photos: 7 - Description: Dumb waiter installed in a custom garage - [Garage with outdoor kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/garage-with-outdoor-kitchen-pj-vj~301477) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [Custom Garage to Match House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/custom-garage-to-match-house-pj-vj~301493) - Location: Madison, AL - Photos: 6 - Description: Custom Garage to Match House - [Covered Patio with Outdoor Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/covered-patio-with-outdoor-kitchen-pj-vj~363663) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - [Covered Patio](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/covered-patio-pj-vj~301475) - Location: Athens, AL - Photos: 4 - Description: Covered Patio - [Easy Breeze Sunroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/easy-breeze-sunroom-pj-vj~363646) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [Sunroom Addition](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sunroom-addition-pj-vj~363633) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - [Custom Sunroom with Skylights](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/custom-sunroom-with-skylights-pj-vj~363624) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 10 - [New Construction](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/new-construction-pj-vj~301488) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 [See all 13 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/general-contractors/don-thomas-construction-pfvwus-pf~2013919139) ## Ideabooks - [con](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/123620658/list/con) — 1 idea [See all 1 ideabook](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/dtcinc-123) ## Community Q&A **Q: Chris Belew** *(in Photo Questions)* I am looking at doing a very similar addition to my house as this one.
