My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

It all boils down to relationships. I started my aprenticeship in home building with a focus on finish carpentry during my summers in High School in the early 80s. By 1991 I had worked for several companies learning valuable skills from all of them. It was then that I persued my license as a General Contrator. Looking back over the last 30+ years in this business has taught me two valuable lessons; First - relationships are the most important part of business. No matter what you build and no matter what the cost if the relationship is great the job is a success. Second - When we are done learning we can go home. My first employer used to say that and after decades I realize what he meant. We can learn something from every job and every person we meet along the way. Great customers make a business great. During the past 2 years I have been blessed to be able to work with my son. The time I get to spend with him has been the most rewarding for me. Father and Son teams are rare in the trades. Most young men are looking for digital careers. Homes will not be constructed by computers any time soon. It is a delight to apply my experince and expertise to every project. From design to completion, we have what it takes to get your project right the first time!

After having had a great experience with Ron and his team on our kitchen remodel a few years ago, we asked Ron back to help us remodel our master bath and two additional bathrooms. Once again he and his team knocked it out of the park. We are so happy with the outcome! Everyone was very respectful, great communication, on time, on budget. Would highly recommend Dunn carpentry!

Ron and his team were very professional and easy to work with. We had the smoothest experience and our timelines were appropriately managed. Ron was always available to answer questions and provide insight and guidance to our decision making. He also had a great network of very good people for any of the work he needs to hire outside for - backsplash, electrical, etc. If I had to redo the project, I would hire him again in a heartbeat. Additionally, we’re already considering him for a separate project in the home. Couldn’t be happier with our choice in working with Ron and team.

Ron (Sensitive Information Hidden) and Dunn Carpentry have earned my highest recommendation. For years I needed to update my 35 year old kitchen and three bathrooms and dreaded the process. Once I met Ron, I had complete confidence in him to handle the renovation. Ron gave me excellent advice and guidance, he answered my questions promptly, and he meticulously planned and scheduled all the details of the project. The craftspeople who worked with him were, without exception, highly skilled and respectful of my home. In some cases, they even stayed late in order to finish a job and make sure I was satisfied with their work. Gilbert was Ron's right hand man on my project and he was not only a skilled carpenter, but able to tackle many other jobs with great competence and dedication to quality. I am extremely happy with my completed renovation that truly exceeded my expectations!

Ron and his team are great! It’s always nerve racking to make a big investment and welcome people into your home (and then watch them tear it apart). But with Dunn carpentry the process was efficient and done beautifully. There was great communication, helpful tips and pointers along the way. The team members were polite, conscientious and reliable. We love our bathroom addition and room remodel! Highly recommend.

Ron and his team were incredible to work with and I would work with him again in a heartbeat. His references were stellar. He was with us from designing our kitchen all the way until completion. His expertise and work ethic was apparent throughout the whole process. His team was always professional, courteous and maintained a clean workspace. We completed on budget and ahead of schedule. He makes it right, period. We absolutely love our new kitchen and get complements on it all the time. Thanks Ron!

Forget whatever negative things you've heard/read/experienced vis-a-vis contractors. Dunn Carpentry just renovated my master bathroom from the studs out. It is the elegant, modern, clean bathroom I envisioned. They came in on budget and on time. They accommodated this crazy person without even rolling their eyes. Each and every carpenter, painter, tile installer, plumber and sub showed up, did a perfect job and was clean, honest, decent and hardworking. They were experienced, and it showed in their work and work ethic. Ron gave me a timeline and, for the most part, everything was accomplished on schedule. I didn't have to make any frantic calls. If there was any juggling to be done, Ron did it. And, Dunn was not the only bidder on the contract. I personally met with and got estimates and reviews from 5 others, and chose Dunn overwhelmingly -- and all estimates were basically the same. And, this was not the first time I'd renovated a bathroom -- it was the third! However, this experience was, without a doubt, the best. I have recomended Dunn without hesitation to my friends and family. We are planning to renovate another bathroom and the kitchen. I will absolutely contract with Dunn for both jobs.

After interviewing several companies, we chose Dunn as the prime contractor for our kitchen renovation project. And we made the right decision. The costs for a fully customized cabinet design solution were comparable to the modular, big-box store offerings. Material quality, construction, fit and finish were top notch. Workers showed up on time , were courteous and cleaned up each day. The project was finished on time and on budget. You can't ask for more than that.

Dunn Carpentry did all of our custom woodwork in our home and we are more than pleased with the beautiful work they did. They were easy to work with and paid careful attention to detail and craftsmanship. We would highly recommend them to anyone wanting top notch quality work and easy, friendly and honest people to work with.

Ronn came highly recommended from a friend so we knew his work was amazing...but now we can speak to his professionalism, craftsmanship, and quality of work. Ron is very easy to work with and was very patient when i changed my mind at least 100 times. I loved receiving professional drawings of what we were building and made me feel confident in our project. We are using Dunn Carpentry for a few upcoming projects and wouldn’t hesitate referring him to a friend.

Dunn Carpentry created a media center for my loft. They listened to all my ideas, desires for the design, and storage needs, and came up with exactly the perfect solution. My cabinets and bookshelves make the room look finished, organized, and so much larger! They brought beauty and functionality into a boring space. I

I am so pleased to review Dunn Carpentry. While renovating my home I was referred to Ron to rebuild my pantry. Of course one thing led to another and I asked for Rons help and expertise throughout the project. My pantry is beautifully designed, on time, on budget and I couldn't be happier. I ended up adding pull out drawers to my existing cabinets, and redesigning my dated built ins. When I had a hiccup and needed to purchase a new refrigerator and freezer the appliances would not fit in my existing cabinetry. Ron was excellent and created a seamless space without having to tear our and rebuild an entire wall of cabinets. During a project like this so many people come through your home. Ron was meticulous, professional, kind, creative and a pleasure to work with. He is truly a craftsman and I look forward to working with Dunn Carpentry again!

We worked with Dunn Carpentry on a master bath remodel. Ron was super customer oriented and kept communication open to ensure our vision became reality. He was patient answering questions and providing guidance (this was our first bathroom remodel so we had a lot of questions). We would definitely work with him again and highly recommend this company.

Commented: Mosaic/medallionSorry I had nothing to do with the flooring. I would guess that it is a combination of marble, travertine and graninte. If you show this photo to a stone sales company they will know.

Commented: where did the door come from??Gorgeous!This door was purchased from a company who is no longer in business. it was a weaved pattern with clear glass. The client saw them in Vegas, so we chased down the maker. Not sure how you would sour...

Commented: Is the red furniture a cabinet of some kind? Lovely!I believe the red shape to the right was a custom cabinet. I did not make it or install it so I can't remember what it looked like.

Commented: Are the mirror frames custom? Thank you!I believe the mirror frames are simply white oak panel mold surrounding the glass.
