**★★★★★ — Debbie York, June 2020**

> It’s been almost a year since we remodeled our kitchen and I am still just as overjoyed with the custom cabinetry we picked out from D Michael Development as the day they were put in.  Dave worked with us til we got the design just right. The cabinets we ordered were very reasonable in cost and the quality was outstanding.  We even had a little glitch with a cabinet, our fault, and he was awesome in making it right for us! Custom in every way!  I highly recommend checking out Dave and D Michael Development before you decide on cabinets from any other source...you won’t be disappointed. Thanks Dave!

**★★★★★ — Casey Cybul, March 2020**

> Dave was a pleasure to work with. He showed up on time, did a great job, all for a great price. The quality of the windows he installed were phenomenal. The instillation was clean and quick. Plus he was 25% cheaper than any other company I got bids from. I would strongly recommend Dave!

**★★★★★ — Lee Cohen, March 2020**

> From start to finish, Dave takes all details into account and helps to deliver the best finished product. His experience and knowledge of multiple product lines along with understanding the project timelines and needs helps to ensure a successful end result with all aspects and considerations covered and achieved (design, costs, practicality, etc.) Dave is always responsive and follows up in a timely manner and it is always a pleasure to work with Dave and I will continue to recommend him for many projects to come!

**★★★★★ — Pam Zall, Dec. 2018**

> This company is the perfect blend of professionalism, quality work and on time service. Dave did work on our homes and the results were outstanding.

**★★★★★ — Amanda Dardaganis, Nov. 2018**

> We used D Michael Development for multiple projects in our home. No remodel is too big or small for them to deliver great results! Personable and reliable with all projects being completed on time. I really enjoyed the partnership, every step of the way, with them providing their expert recommendations to make sure all of my expectations were met!

**★★★★★ — Peter Fitzer, April 2018**

> Worked with Dave on a kitchen cabinet project and it went smooth as can be! Dave provided constant updates while the project was on going, and kept me at ease the entire time. Not to mention that the cabinets turned out GREAT! He gave valuable insights not only to his portion of the job, but also into other parts of the project. He's incredibly knowledgeable in many aspects of construction. Always crosses his T's and dots his I's. It was a pleasure to work with him and I'd highly recommend him to anyone looking for development work.

**★★★★★ — Terri Mitchem, April 2018**

> Very pleased with remodeling work done on our home.  Attention to every detail.  Dependable and reasonable.  Would definitely use again.

**★★★★★ — Nick Cullen, Nov. 2017**

> D Michael Development provides nothing but top notch service and quality work!
> We hired Dave to do some painting at our house. Dave was on time for our initial meeting to quote the project and was very detailed and thorough. Dave offered a lot of experience and knowledge on items my wife and I would not have thought of like accent walls and color options. Once we met with Dave we knew we had found the right guy for the job. From start to finish the experience could not have been more enjoyable. Always on time, there when he said, cleaned up after himself and the finished product was beyond our expectations.  Could not recommend Dave more for any of your construction needs, we will definitely be using Dave for anything else we decide to do in the future!
