They were efficient without cutting corners or being sloppy. I am very pleased with the work! My family and I love our extra rooms! **★★★★★ — Joe B, Feb. 2021** > Daniel and his team did major work at our new-to-us 1939 home in Silver Spring. New plumbing, drywall, insulation, ventilation, electrical, paint, etc. The wall to the tiny kitchen was removed and new oak flooring was installed. The rest of the flooring was sanded and sealed to match. I can't recommend his company enough. **★★★★★ — HU-964489522, Nov. 2020** > We love the outdoors but were tired of being eaten alive by mosquitoes whenever we went onto our patio. So we decided we needed a screened-in porch at the back of our house. Daniel designed and constructed a 16-by-16-foot addition of simple elegance. It's a clean, open space of blinding white, with Trex flooring, a ceiling fan and numerous outlets. The job required building over part of an existing flagstone patio and enlarging a kitchen window into a door. Daniel was responsive throughout. His team was careful and skilled. His price was very competitive with other quotes we received. We would not hesitate to use Daniel Krienbuehl Contractors again. **★★★★★ — Laura Choi Stuart, July 2020** > We recently completed a major home renovation and two-story addition with Daniel Krienbuehl Contractors and our experience with Daniel and his team was wonderful. From our first meeting, his integrity and excitement for the project were palpable, and he was able to be creative and accommodate our budget. Every member of his team was a pleasure to have in our home. They were conscientious with Coronavirus safety protocols, and completed the project on budget. We are overjoyed with the result and look forward to inviting Daniel back for many future projects. **★★★★★ — Caroline Fernandez, May 2019** > Daniel helped us solve space problems in our very small house with creative and functional solutions. His company was a pleasure to work with and the workers were professional and conscientious during our job, which was completed earlier than scheduled. Daniel and Nilou really enjoy making life easier through good design and smart solutions. I highly recommend them and would work with them again for another project. > Our photos are here: > https://www.houzz.com/photos/kitchen-and-dining-room-alteration-living-room-dc-metro-phvw-vp~131043332 **★★★★★ — Bec K, April 2019** > I hired Daniel Krienbuehl Contractors to overhaul a master bathroom and to renovate the layout and framing of several bedrooms. I particularly appreciated Daniel’s well-grounded and practical approach throughout the project. The redesign of the rooms transformed an outdated space into an elegant setting. I recommend Daniel for his professionalism, craftmanship and integrity. **★★★★ — Grayson, March 2018** > We are very pleased with the work of Daniel, Nilou (DK, Inc.’s designer), and Daniel’s contractors (especially Henry and his team) in finishing our basement. Daniel and Nilou listened carefully and patiently to our needs and ideas in the planning stages; and everyone involved made sure that we were happy with the work throughout the process. Daniel and his teams were very skilled and conscientious, with Daniel coming by most mornings to review each day’s “game plan” with the team prior to their beginning the work. It was a pleasure to work with them all, and we do recommend them. **★★★★★ — giles\_cohen, Feb. 2018** > We are thrilled to be able to recommend Daniel Krienbuehl and his wonderful team (including Henry) for a large home renovation project that we finished in the fall of 2017. The project including bumping out the back of our house, relocating and building a new kitchen/family room area in the new space, a new screened porch, laundry room, bathroom and mud room. Daniel is meticulous, reliable, honest, and hard-working. We have done a number of home projects over the years and working with Daniel was one of the least stressful and most rewarding of all of our projects. We love our new home space, which has completely transformed the way we live in and use our home. **Comment from Daniel Krienbuehl Contractors Inc.:** > We really appreciate your kind review, we truly enjoyed our time with you and are delighted that you love your new spaces. **★★★★★ — Karyn, May 2017** > Daniel and his team did an amazing job to add two bedrooms, expand our kitchen, create a new rec room, and convert our closed off main living area into an open concept oasis. Daniel's craftsmanship and attention to detail to detail are unsurpassed. From beginning to end, he was responsive, reliable, reasonably-priced, and most importantly, trustworthy. The 5-month renovation was nearly stress-free and our whole family truly loves relaxing in our new home. **★★★★★ — kasiaoneillmurray, March 2016** > Daniel has been incomparably professional, prompt, and responsive during the design phase of our project. He is thorough in both his workmanship and communication, and has inspired confidence throughout the entire process. The extremely deliberative preparatory work Daniel has invested in our project leaves no doubt that he will successfully complete the project to our total satisfaction. We can't wait to get started. **★★★★★ — hillarycatlin, March 2016** > Daniel and his crew completed a large (567 sq. ft.) addition to my home last year. I'd previously done two smaller renovation projects with two other contractors, one of whom was good, the other mediocre. Daniel is in another league altogether -- the experience of working with him was fantastic. He's very knowledgable about good building practices and he is the consummate professional. He stuck to the proposed budget and calendar and there were no surprises. After the project was completed, he was very responsive to my questions regarding minor issues that came up. I enthusiastically recommend Daniel Krienbuehl Contractors to my friends and neighbors looking for an honest, capable, and reliable general contractor. **★★★★ — debbyanker, March 2016** > Daniel and his team completed our kitchen renovation plus extra jobs in our 80 year old home. Their work was excellent and it was a pleasure to work with them. Daniel always made sure that the workmanship was excellent and that he followed through on detail and stuck to the budget. ## Selected projects - [Screened Porch - Silver Spring](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/screened-porch-silver-spring-pj-vj~7807090) - Location: Silver Spring, MD - Photos: 4 - [Second Story Addition - Takoma Park](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/second-story-addition-takoma-park-pj-vj~7696312) - Location: Takoma Park, MD - Photos: 4 - [Screened Porch - Takoma Park](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/screened-porch-takoma-park-pj-vj~7562454) - Location: Takoma Park, MD - Photos: 7 - Description: This beautifully designed screen porch maximizes outdoor living while providing protection from mosquitoes, making it perfect for the DMV area’s climate.
