### All 5 reviews

**★ — poor work - DMJ/Birchfield - san antonio TX, July 2025**

> I hired this builder in good faith and paid significant deposits across multiple projects. Unfortunately, after months of delays, very little work had been completed — and some work was later found to be substandard or not in line with the agreed plans.  I cancelled work and didn't receive our money back.
>
> What's most concerning is that after making payments, I discovered he had reached out to several suppliers to cancel material orders that had supposedly been placed on my behalf. This raises serious questions about where the funds actually went.
>
> I’ve since had to hire new professionals to assess and fix portions of the job at my own expense.
>
> I strongly urge anyone considering working with this builder to do thorough due diligence and avoid prepaying for work without protections in place.

**★★★ — William Roth, March 2023**

> This review represents my experience of a six-figure project utilizing DMJ. The statements below are not false or defamatory. My goal is to help potential customers make informed decisions and to share my personal opinions.
>
> DMJ did complete the project, but with the frustrations, disputes, and schedule delays I encountered, I was compelled to draft a contractor “Notice of Default” and begin legal / arbitration procedures. The project was substantially completed without formal proceedings, though months behind schedule. There are still remaining electrical punchlist items (due to incorrect installation) and a missing lien release. DMJ has not responded to multiple inquiries on the status of the repairs and providing a release.
>
> Certain interactions, primarily with Monty (owner), tainted the whole experience. A relationship with your contractor is like any other relationship; it should be founded on the basis of mutual respect and trust. You want to be able to have a positive experience that you can look back on and be comfortable recommending DMJ to others. Unfortunately, I did not have that. David and Jason, DMJ project managers, did their best when on site, but DMJ’s “attention-to-detail” from execution, communication, accounting, and subcontractor supervision did not align with mine and was frankly disappointing.
>
> A few examples:
> • In my review of applicable building codes, their subcontractors performed multiple violations. To DMJ’S credit, they did address the deficiencies/violations after I showed them the code and requested correction. Multiple times I tried to warn them of upcoming issues, but they never followed-through. Their electrician even disputed his work was “to code”, but ultimately repaired the deficiencies I identified.
> • Near project completion, I identified $700+ in obvious allowance accounting mistakes (e.g., duplicated invoices, erroneous charges for tools) within 30+ invoices. They performed a two-week review to correct the discrepancies.  DMJ initially tried to invoice me for the lumber costs for code corrections and DMJ-attributed damage; calling my request for a refund “petty.” They ultimately absorbed the materials before final payment after I remained insistent. I disputed less than $75 of lumber costs.
> • We had multiple disagreements on specific elements of the description of work. In DMJ’s own words they “created a scope of work that you could drive a truck through with its lack of clarity and we have given you the benefit of the doubt on just about every item.” Typically, a business’s interest is profitability while a customer is concerned on deliverable / quality. It was frustrating to have to deal with this on multiple occasions.
>
> If you choose DMJ, I recommend the following:
> -Hire a 3rd-party inspector to ensure quality control.
> -Maintain awareness on allowance accounting, scheduling, and material delivery. Negotiate a “late penalty clause” contractually.
> -A thorough, very detailed, description of work.

**Comment from DMJ:**

> Here at DMJ Restorations, we accept any and all candid reviews and take each one seriously. Our goal is to deliver unparalleled building and remodeling services in an industry with many moving parts. Bringing them all together in a timely fashion with the right process and the right people is always a challenge but it’s one we excel at and one that we are constantly improving. Unfortunately, not every client can be satisfied and this response represents our experience working with this client and their project.
>
> Construction on Mr. Roth’s project began during the middle of COVID in Oct 2021. The project was progressing smoothly until the windows and doors were ordered and we were notified that they would be significantly delayed. They ended up taking 19 weeks versus the normal 4-6 weeks. Once they arrived we lost another 10 days to a freezing weather event that shut down all of South Texas. Another time delay came when we waited another 10 days while Mr. Roth selected a paint color. We reached substantial completion in May 2022.
>
> Between supply chain, weather, and customer decisions we lost about 22 weeks yet still finished the project in 7-8 months. This timeline is thoroughly documented in our building management software with corresponding communication. Unfortunately, Mr. Roth’s punch list lasted almost as long as construction due to never being satisfied. This moving target substantially accrued cost that DMJ absorbed. He was never charged for the growing list except for an engineering requirement. All work completed was well within the Texas Association of Builders Express Limited Warranty performance standards for workmanship.
>
> Despite an acknowledged imperfectly written scope (after which we instituted significant improvements to give clarity and transparency to our customers - we do learn from every project), we gave Mr. Roth the benefit of the doubt on every issue and again he was not charged except for an engineering requirement (as mentioned previously) that would allow us to build on his existing slab.  Per engineering requirements, we had to make changes to the existing slab or we couldn’t utilize it for his desired purpose. This was an acceptable change order for Mr. Roth and was received well. With this being the only change order, the remaining changes demanded by the client were quickly becoming exorbitant but were still absorbed regardless. A hard line had to be drawn or we would still be doing change orders.
>
> Our summary of our experience with this project and working with Mr. Roth is one of reflection and growth. The subcontractors that we have been working with for more than 7 years finally refused to work on Mr. Roth’s project after their experience on-site with the owner. We had to finish with different crews. We are dedicated to full transparency and have no problem discussing previous projects with future clients - even the tough ones. Not all clients can be satisfied. Yes, they write disgruntled reviews but we respectfully wish the best for Mr. Roth and for him to enjoy his beautiful casita.
>
> We stand by our commitment to honor all of our clients, even the ones for whatever reason pose a challenge. We make a promise to continually provide exceptional service, and perform and complete our work with excellence and attention to detail even for those clients who find the process challenging.
>
> DMJ holds the right to share the project photos of the finished product. They can be seen here.

**★★★★★ — HU-943567996, Oct. 2022**

> We redid our guest bath, it was a full gut job in a small space. The cabinet maker came over several times to make sure the measurements were correct. We also had a custom glass/metal shower door and it is amazing! The bath now feels so roomy, clean and crisp! We no longer cringe when a guest is over and ask to use the bathroom. DMJ got the vision of what we wanted and delivered. If you live in the San Antonio area you should give them a call and see what they can do for you.

**★★★★★ — HU-566340469, Sept. 2022**

> I had used this company for our full kitchen renovation last year and was so pleased we used them for a master bath reno.  The quality of work was fantastic.  For example, our home is older and the floors are slightly slanted.  We had brick, shiplap and of course tile in the shower, all with extremely straight lines.  Even with our uneven lines of our house, the lines of the work are perfect!!!  People come in our bathroom now feeling like they are in a fancy hotel.  They are professional, responsive, patient and very fair.  I would use them again!!

**★★★★★ — Teresa Thomas, Feb. 2019**

> What started with moving furniture and noticing a soft spot in the carpet along the edge of an outside wall and a water spot suddenly appearing in the ceiling above it with San Antonio’s heavy rains of Sept 2018 started our journey with DMJ Restorations.
> Sam Hoffman was extremely knowledgeable in guiding us through the insurance process and, because of his efforts, we actually received more money than we might have received otherwise.  We learned a lot along the course.
> We have been so pleased with their entire team for a multitude of tasks they did for us – roofing, demolition, construction, sheetrock, painting and carpet installation.  They were here when they said they would be, did what they said they were going to do (and then some), and cleaned up extremely well after themselves.  All while respecting our home and its contents.  They paid attention to all of the little details, some we wouldn’t have thought of on our own, and made sure we were satisfied from start to finish.
> Would we recommend them to others?  YOU BET and without hesitation!

They became popular in the late 1800s among farmers and ranchers who lived in areas too remote to permit commuting to services. Steeped in a rich history, the owners of this renovation wanted to keep the character in this dwelling as much as possible and use the bones of the s…
