DS1 Construction, Inc.

very well <br />

I had a great experience working with David and his company, DS1 Construction.  From the very start, David was prompt on arrival to perform an estimate on work.  He said that he treated big and small jobs with the same attention and respect and he proved that through out the course of the job.  He responded promptly after our first meeting with an estimate via e-mail.  I interviewed 8 contractors for this job. I received estimates from 5. DS1 gave me the most detailed and realistic estimate in my opinion. <br /> The entire scope of the job was discussed.  This was a renovation complicated by the previous owners poor home improvement attempts. The kitchen and bathroom cabinetry and counters were replaced.  The interior floors were demolished and replaced with ceramic tile.  All the demolished materials were disposed of by DS1. The patio area had been poorly tiled by the previous owner, so the tile was removed, concrete prepared, color stained and sealed.  All the bathroom and kitchen fixtures were replaced along with the garbage disposal. An over cooktop microwave and vent were installed along with a new subway tile backsplash. <br /> David was available by phone or e-mail throughout the job.  Payment schedules were clear and he never once asked for payment before all of the work on the schedule was completed to my satisfaction.  The condominium complex this unit is in has very strict criteria for any contractor on premises.  DS1 had no problem meeting all requirements and proving all insurances were active and in place, and all licensing requirements were met. To top this all off, I was working with David and DS1, LONG DISTANCE!  David made the process , that is usually stressful, super easy. With the help of a friend of a good friend in LA, each stage of the project was inspected and as each stage of the job was complete, payment was made as agreed in our written contract. I would not hesitate to work with David and DS1 Construction in the future or recommend anyone else to speak with David and his company to get an estimate on their construction project.  I found David and DS1 to be consistent in their work ethic and performance. I am very pleased with the work performed and the quality of product used by DS1. <br /> <br /> <br />

Well what can I say, my wife and I were looking to have my kitchen redone and we spoke to my long time friend Hari who had his kitchen and some other work done around his house. I asked Hari if he was truly happy with DS1 Construction  and if the experience was worth what he paid for all the work that was done. I also asked him if he would rehire them in the future to do additional work and he said " For sure".His project manager David came by our home to give us an estimate on our kitchen. He was unbelievable thorough and I didn't realize how much was involved in creating a kitchen. He spent nearly 3 1/2 hours going over every detail. I was blown away with all this information and my wife was very intrigued about all the incredible kitchens he designed and was responsible for.We of course asked if he could create something special and awesome for us at a price we could afford? He said he could work with our budget.We agreed and decided to hire him and his company.To make a long story short, the job went great with a couple of hiccups, but nothing too serious that would stop the job. David would always give us a schedule and what to expect on the job and we would call him a few times a week to ask him questions. He would always get back to us when he could and in the same day.The job took about 6 weeks and within budget. David came about 2 months later to check on us and dropped off an unexpected gift, It was just a great experience and would recommend DS1 Construction, especially David to anyone that wants a job well done. They were not the least expensive company but with what they did for us the money was well spent and well worth all the mess of the demolition, to the completion of our incredible kitchen. It's now a pleasure to entertain and show off our kitchen.

Sometimes you need some luck and sometimes a sharp eye, but look what happens when the two meet:We bought an apartment 1500 sqf at a bargain price and I needed a major overhaul, I heard about David and his work from my friend the he built him a hose  from scratch, I got the phone and immediately had a great chemistry between us we received bids from different contractors, but with David I had a feeling he will answer all needs.The renovation cost: $100,000 which included the demolition of most of the interior walls, replacing flooring, installing new infrastructure of electricity, lighting, air conditioning and plumbing, new kitchen and adding a specially designed furniture.David's team quickly begin to break down the inner walls David's vision was a large bedroom and luxurious bathroom including parents and reading corner, an open kitchen and bar seating includes practical and accommodation, large spacious living room, large dining area and family room. In addition, large rooms and private white, can shower and General Services for the guests. In terms of conceptual design, it was important for me to keep straight lines and clean, the feeling of space and a feeling of warmth in a family.To meet my expectations, and because of the limited flat space, David proposed to increase the area of the apartment at the expense of the balconies.We broke most of the interior walls of the house. Even the lighting fixtures designed specifically modern artistic style with touches of classical properties: Crystals and touches of gold paint on a white background. In addition, we combined graphic art as an integral part of the building, which gave the house a sense of warmth and luxury. Large tile flooring was replaced to give the apartment a sense of size and distance.The kitchen and living room: kitchen, dining room and living room were combined into one public. Separation of the different functions was used for lighting and furniture games with attendance.Living room wall made of wood painted with epoxy, which is the heart of the house. Because an area of relatively large kitchen, we chose not white but elegant cream-colored.Children's rooms were located at the right side of the apartment, separated by a modest family room and hallway. Each room is designed in an atmosphere that suits his tenant. The children's bathroom alone dared to break the outline of the house and use dramatic colors and contrast of black and white.Our bedroom located on the left side of the apartment, away from children. The bedroom area was increased at the expense of the porch, and created his balcony option. David has created us and romantic spacious suite includes spacious shower and toilet separated by a designed glass door , and a reading corner with a view. We selected bedroom brick shades to get reflection from the color of the walls (light coffee color) that made the furniture look white with creamy caress. Sticker pasted on the wall with vinyl graphic print specially designed by the company's graphic designer. My favorite element is flat plasma wall, 20" long, special order - wall both functional and design. This is a piece of furniture joinery painted white epoxy. I trusted David with closed eyes and I got a pleasant surprise. All phases of renovation we knew only in general terms what is going to be and I was pleasantly surprised with the outcome.
