We consider ourselves blessed and fortunate to have chosen Dan and DAD's Construction for our remodeling project that first began as a small master bathroom makeover. Our house is many decades old and was never upgraded, maintained, or constructed well, and it quickly became apparent that we had all kinds of issues that might affect our health and well-being beyond the moisture and ventilation problems that first instigated the remodel.
We originally chose Dan because he was the owner of DAD's Construction and would be hands-on doing much of the work himself on-site. He was well-organized and detailed, had met all the paperwork requirements, had great references, and was friendly, knowledgeable, courteous, and professional.
During our time collaborating side-by-side with Dan, we got to know him well, and there's no question that Dan's an amazingly skilled individual with a wealth of experience. He is an artisan with an exacting and finely-honed talent; someone with honor and integrity that takes great pride in his work and perfecting his craft. He is loyal to his customers and flexible to their needs and desires. Dan maintains an unwavering sense of responsibility to serve the customer in their best interest; all within a carefully balanced framework of aesthetics, function, and the realities of time and cost.
Now, our attic and garage are spic-and-span and our bathrooms are gorgeous and infinitely more usable. Our electrical, plumbing and drainage deliver, our floors are clean and new, our walls are straight, and our doors don't contort. Our home now breathes and works like it's supposed to . . . efficiently and everything just shines!
More importantly, Dan and his team always treated us with respect and as people first, not as another job. Dan’s understanding and sincerity of caring for us as a family shows in the clean, beautiful, sturdy, quality workmanship in our house which our children now affectionately refer to as "the house that Dan rebuilt." It's been a real privilege working with Dan and DAD's Construction and anyone would be lucky to have them!

We hired DAD’s to completely remodel our hall guest bathroom (taking the tub out and creating a walk-in shower), master bathroom, powder room, replace all windows and front door, re-pipe the entire house, add and upgrade recess lighting, paint interior, and add garage lighting. We started with the guest bathroom and it came out so beautiful, we immediately hired them to do all the other work! Some of the reasons we’re glad we did:
Organization: The very detailed estimate tells the story. The job is planned with attention to detail from the first to the last – no time is wasted. The staging area in the garage was so neat that it really impressed our neighbors! All surfaces are protected and the work site and all the materials are tidy and clean by the end of the day.
Professionalism: Dan and all the people he hires know what they’re doing, and they get right down to business. They are not cheap, but the peace of mind that comes with knowing everything was done right is worth it!
Courtesy: My mother and I are home most of the time. Dan introduced us to everyone who came into our house to work. They were all friendly and courteous – letting us know when they left for lunch or for the day. And Dan is great about explaining what’s happening. He and Lori kept us informed on a daily basis about what progress had been made & what was planned for the next day.
Friendliness: Dan, Lori, Adam, & Eric are a real pleasure to know. They made this a totally positive experience.
We wholeheartedly recommend DAD’s to anyone considering remodeling.

We want to thank Dan, Lori and their family for all the beautiful work they did in our kitchen and bathroom. We have heard horror stories from friends and family about their home improvement projects; but Dan was great!
Everything was spelled out in detail before work ever began. Once the work started, we had the secure feeling that everything would be taken care of. When walls started to come down and some errors from the previous builders were found, Dan said, "not to worry, I'll make it right." And he did.
One of the nicest things is how clean they kept the construction site - even my neighbors mentioned it! Dan's son, Adam, worked with him often and also did a great job!! Dan's youngest son, Eric, stopped by on some afternoons to help with the clean-up at the end of the work day. Eric is the clean-up KING! Both Adam and Eric are wonderful young men; Dan should be very proud of them.
The whole family is wonderful and truly cares about people. It was great being able to reach out and call Lori whenever needed.
We greatly appreciate all the little extra touches Dan did for us to make sure the project came out even better than we ever anticipated!!
We definitely recommend DAD's Construction for any home improvement projects that you might have. You will be getting nothing but the THE BEST QUALITY WORK!!

DAD’s Construction has performed work for me many times over the past 16 years. They have built me a large beautiful room addition, remodeled my guest bathroom, master bathroom, kitchen, added a tankless water heater, added a new 200amp service panel, completely remodeled and refurbished my garage adding overhead storage, and replaced all of my doors, windows, and flooring. They have also removed all of the acoustical (pop-corn) ceilings, added recess lighting, replaced the HVAC ducting, painted both the interior and exterior, and insulated the attic.
DAD’s has always performed exquisite work for me. Therefore, when it was time to remodel my kitchen, studio, dining room, master bathroom, and repipe my home, there was naturally only one person to call – Dan at DAD’s!
This was a major job. The results were spectacular! DAD’s pays special close attention to all the details and absolutely never leaves any trash on the job site. At the end of each work day, the job site was left immaculate and I never felt like I was living in a construction environment. DAD’s is truly a remarkable one-of-a-kind outfit!
In short, I could not be more pleased with the completed project. When I decide to perform future work on my home, DAD’s will be the only company I will be calling to do the work.
Anyone who is truly looking for a professional who performs beautiful work and will never let you down, needs only to call DAD’s.
Recently, I again hired DAD's Construction to make my small, 8 foot ceiling bedrooms into something amazing. I’m an artist with an eye for detail and I wanted my own home gallery to display my work. I couldn’t figure out how to do what I wanted or even how to express what I was looking for. Dan has this talent for seeing the project completed and all the details to get there before he touches anything. His vision and ability to clearly communicate and then draw the pictures illustrating what’s in his head sets him so far apart from the competition, I honestly don’t think anyone else compares!
Wow – He made cathedral ceilings without removing the roof and extended the front of the house! How he figured out where to place the 4” LED recess lights to exactly accent my art was incredible. He selected the wood floor species, its color and then custom stained solid oak baseboards to match perfectly. Dan even picked the wall and ceiling paint! The new and added windows are gorgeous and really make the rooms feel open and spacious.
Rounding out these rooms are Casablanca ceiling fans with custom made plantation shutters and added electrical and cable.
All this turned my ordinary bedrooms into the art gallery I dreamed about for years!
On the outside, my neighbors keep telling me how beautiful and balanced the front and sides of the house look with the new and upgraded windows Dan recommended – I’m glad I took his advice! I get lots of comments on his stucco work outside. It’s so perfect and uniform people keep asking for his number – even other Contractors – can you believe that? His competitors want to hire him! It does not get any better than that!
The work was superior, clean, and exceeded my expectations. I was surprised at how a few changes could make such a huge difference in the overall look of my home.

We are in the process of a small job that has turned into a huge one! The original builder had electrical outside the house, covered with stucco, ceiling dry-wall did not meet, had 3 inches of a gap where they just used tape to cover it up. Previous owners put in french doors with a metal door frame over electrical on a roof that leaked!
Dan of Dad's construction has been the contractor you hope and pray ALL of them are. Very meticulous work, kind, explains everything very well, so that even if you have never done a project, you can make informed decisions. We will have a brand new bedroom, roof, windows, garage and we will be SAFE! cost,....... priceless.
I would never feel comfortable hiring anyone else to do the smallest to the largest jobs in my house. Sorry Dad's Construction, you are stuck with us for a very long time!
