Testimonials
We recently completed a kitchen renovation project and a room addition project with DMJ. In the initial phases, we had our project(s) quoted by six different contractors. DMJ was not the highest, but they were not the lowest. I’d say they were the most consistent and honest with their pricing. Some would tell you, “Sure, we can do it for that.” and then issue a hundred change orders. Scott was very deliberate and concise with the budget. We knew exactly what we were walking in to.
Our project took a little over five months to substantial completion, with another month or so of odds and ends (punch list items). We were without a functioning kitchen for about four months with demo starting in mid-January and our refrigerator delivered in April. We were thrilled with the result and couldn't be more pleased with how they handled and managed the process. Given the circumstances of completing a home renovation project during COVID, the guys were incredible. We certainly shared our ups and downs (sub-contractor delays, permitting delays, shipping delays) but the crew handled with absolute grace. They value quality above all else, so it is reflected in the cost of the project. But they were always willing to work with us on options if ever a change order was required.
I can only the imagine the amount of coordination it takes to source a sub and then get them to show up on time but that would honestly be my only major con the project. We lived in our home while the reno was taking place, so it was a pain when we prepared to have the crew in the house only to have them never show. These situations were always handled accordingly but we always hated being "those homeowners" who were nagging on this point. Dave and Jason were always very reassuring and never, ever seemed flustered. Well maybe only once, when dealing with Alamo Heights permitting but we all were! And we were very appreciative that we had Dave going to bat for us.
The initial use of BuilderTrend was a little clunky but we all got the hang of it as the project went on. It would have been exceptionally helpful to have Dave’s check point on a more regular cadence. There were a few weeks where he’d send a Monday email through BuilderTrend with the breakdown of expectation for the week. That was huge for us and helped alleviate concerns over timing and potential delays. It also helped us prepare. Toward the middle of the project, when we hit our plateau, we felt we needed to reach out to the crew to see what was going on when there hadn’t been people at the house working. We understand now to expect the lull, but we would have felt more informed if we knew what to expect. Maybe just a quick message from Dave saying, “nothing on the docket for this week, still waiting on xyz, but no delays on critical path.” Or something of the sort.
All in all, we are ecstatic with the result and are so happy we found DMJ. They are all knowledgeable and caring guys, and you will truly be in the best of hands. The kind of folks that we’ll continue to send our Christmas card!
I think it's clear we were happy because we just got them to quote us on our next project!
Great work, on time on budget!
We are building our dream home with DMJ in Vintage Oaks. The process has been great. Everyone at DMJ wants to make your vision a reality. They are professionals who care about quality. We’ve mostly worked with Monty and Dave. Both are responsive and super easy to work with. We’re very excited to see the end result soon.
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!!
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.
A great company to work with. Very honest and professional.
I am loving my new kitchen by DMJ. The timeline was a little longer than I’d hoped and it caused some frustration with operating a business out of my home at the same time. At the end of the day, my kitchen is beautiful and much more functional than it was before! So much brighter too! Thank you to everyone that worked on my dream kitchen!
The restoration was done expertly and promptly by well-experienced personnel. Took time and effort to match existing materials with new materials resulting in an excellent restoration. DMJ exhibited excellent project supervision and management skills throughout the remodel.
Our project manager, Travis, oversaw the construction of our outdoor patio/kitchen project. He is very knowledgable about the building process and knows which subcontractors will provide the best outcome. He was responsive to questions. He was patient with us as we made changes to the original plans and gave excellent feedback. He is super friendly and fun to work with. He remembered to come back when the weather got cold to build our heater! We would want Travis as our project mgr on any future projects we do with DMJ.
