DC Constructions

Contractor Took Our Money and Didn’t Finish the Job Avoid DC Construction at all costs. This has been one of the most frustrating and unprofessional experiences I’ve ever had with a contractor. We hired him for multiple projects — many of which were delayed or never completed. We paid in full, including for a ceiling that was never installed. He later claimed he couldn’t find anyone to do the job and offered a “discount,” but never gave us an itemized invoice, despite repeated requests. The deck he built started falling apart in less than a month. Boards are popping up, the steps bend when you step on them, and he used the wrong nails. He promised to return and fix it, but never showed — even after we took time off work to be there. He also left behind concrete debris, made a mess of the job site, and refused to clean up after himself. We reached out to Thumbtack for assistance to get him to return or refund us — no response. When we finally made contact, he told us flat-out: he has the money and that’s it. At this point, it feels like we were scammed. He took our money and didn’t complete the work. From a distance the work looks fine, but up close it’s rushed and sloppy. Do not hire this contractor. He is unreliable, dishonest, and does not stand by his work. You will end up paying for the job twice — once to him, and again to a real professional to fix the mess he left behind.
