DC Contracting

Recently moved to Okotoks, I needed a home office ASAP. Found Dave on trusted pros site. Liked him after 1st meeting. Very friendly, polite and professional. I’m very happy with my new custom made office. It’s exactly what I had in mind. I would definitely get him again for other projects and will refer him without hesitation.

DC Contracting worked closely with us to assess the extent of the water damage to the main rim joist that occurred over several years due to poor original builders’ installation of the dryer vent/exhaust hood. The problem had existed for over 13 years before being discovered and the concern was to find a safe method to do the repair without risking structural damage. With the experience of DC Contracting staff, the repair procedure was defined, estimated and executed within the budget and time agreed between us and DC Contracting. They were professional, friendly, effective communicators and thorough in completing the repair. They cleaned up the debris and disposed the materials after the construction, leaving the external area looking neat and tidy. We were extremely pleased with our entire experience and would highly recommend DC Contracting for any repair/renovation project to other customers. We plan to use their services again in the near future.

Where do I start?! Dave met with me in January after I bought a new older home just outside High River. We discussed all the things I needed done, he prepared a detailed written quote, and set aside time for this work. The work included replacing carpet with hardwood, replacing kitchen counter, adding walls and bathroom reno, installing a new kitchen sink, vanity and faucets. The project took more of Dave’s time because the subfloor was very uneven and he took the time to fix it properly. He also did extra add on work without complaint. Dave is very exact, ethical and honest. His carpentry and cabinet making skills are awesome. I am so glad I found him and do not hesitate to recommend his services.

My wife and I are thrilled with Dave's work. He was recommended by a mutual friend and we've used him for multiple projects now. Everything is done to a high standard and is on budget. Most recently Dave installed elevated Garage Storage and Kids Lockers in our mudroom. Very happy with it. Previously, Dave helped us with some last minute needs to help us sell our previous home. We'll be calling him again.

After having a less than great experience with a different contractor we came across Dave on this site and decided after reading the reviews that we would give him a try. We had already ordered the appliances based on what the previous contractor had told us we would need and Dave said it was no problem, they could install anything and work with what we had. The cabinets we ordered came in the wrong size for the custom sink we ordered as well as the wrong crown molding and wrong sized cupboards for above the built in fridge. I was very upset and worried because the cabinet company (Cabinet Solutions) told us they would order the correct ones but that it was going to take another 6 to 8 weeks! Dave assured me that he and his assistant Doug could work with what we had and make it as I wanted it. I have to say they did not disappoint, we are so happy with the way things came together and the quality of work in fixing the cabinets to be as we ordered them. They made the crown molding the exact way I had originally ordered them with materials that they had to cut from what we had and you would swear they came that way. They installed all of the appliances with no problems including having to rework the microwave drawer box to fit the microwave correctly (again wrong size sent even though we sent the specs) and move the ventilation for the new range hood. The tile work in the kitchen had a bit of an issue due to delays in getting the countertops installed. The tile ended up being too short on two walls and too long on one. We managed to come up with an edge solution that didn't require us to remove all the tile. Luckily the stone supplier (Laporte Custom Surfaces) said they could provide us with a new piece to accommodate the longer side in the kitchen. The fireplace tile installation went well. Dave and Doug were courteous and on time everyday. They even did a few extras like fixing and cleaning my eavestroughs and stabilizing the hand rails to the basement.

Dave came through for us again! Even though he was full booked up with work, he managed to make sometime to change our wall oven cabinet from a single to a double.

Great communication as it was completed over a couple weeks. Very happy with quality of work.

Thanks again for fitting us in!

I have had Dave and Doug do work on two other home projects. They came through again, making and installing new counter tops in my kitchen and bathroom. Dave guarantees his work and is very thorough in discussing and quoting the job up front.

Very pleased with the finished work.

Based on the great reviews and work done for friends, we contacted DC Contracting to repair some hardwood floor and fix the leaking door that was the cause. Dave came over and evaluated the situation and juggled some work around to accommodate our small job (14hrs).

Dave and Doug were a pleasure to deal with and did an excellent job. Highly recommend and will be my first call on all future work.

This is my fourth renovation that Dave has done for me. This one went smooth like all the previous ones until while installing the glass doors on the tub. Dave centered the doors but that was a mistake, they needed to be more forward. Sadly some of the tiles were drilled into. So Dave like the honest man he is, tore out one wall and a tile on the other wall, replaced it all and installed the doors as they were meant to be. He did that all on his dime. Can't ask for better than that!

I have no more renovations for him but if I did it would be Dave and Doug hands down.

Very pleased with Dave and Doug of D.C contracting. Lots of prior consultation on the job. Dave is very knowledge and knows his stuff. Daves work warrantty for one full year also pleases me. This is my second project with the boys. They renovated my kitchen in 2013 and had to have them back in 2020 for the bath.

My only problem is getting into the Que...

These guys are always busy but well worth the wait ...

Very impressed …

My project ran rather smoothly with Dave at the helm. very knowledgeable and skilled. Money well spent …. I also am a big fan of his one year guarantee on workmanship, which of course I did not have to use . But good to know it was in place.

Book in advance … this guy is good !!!

Hoping to start my bathroom renovation in April … His guidance is already showing with good advice.

Thanks Dave and Doug. I am always proud to show off my house and the work you have done on it ...

Dave saved me and my home from a fraudulent contractor who can be found on Trusted Pros. I had lost all trust and faith in contractors but Dave turned me around and I soon had no concerns with him working in my home. Dave and Doug were great. They worked everyday, showed up when they said they would, and took great pride in the quality of their work. I am expecting to bring them back to address other areas of the house in the immediate future.

We’ve had Dave and Doug work on a few projects in our home including installing new interior doors, closet doors and remodeling our floor to ceiling fireplace. We were very happy with the quality of work, the attention to detail and Dave’s eagerness to bring a unique look to our fireplace and surrounding cabinets. Dave is a personable, honest and very trustworthy contractor whom we welcomed into our home without any reservations. We would definitely have him back in our home to help with future renovations.

We highly recommend DC Contracting for all your home renovations!

Dave is not only a fantastic carpenter, he has a great personality so he is very easy to work with.

We had him renovate our kitchen and his great work was even better than we imagined!

For quality work, great service and a trustworthy individual ... you will not go wrong with DC Contracting!

I was in need of a quick deck fix and some interior work popped up as well so I could put my house on the market and Dave came to the rescue. He is very knowledgeable, quick, kind and good at what he does. I would recommend him to everyone I know.

Dave and Doug did our fence last year. We were so impressed with their work that this spring, we hired them to completely renovate our kitchen. Again, their work was impeccable. The kitchen turned out exactly as I wanted it. We definitly would hire Dave and Doug again.

I am very unstable and Dave came and put a stair rail on my sidewalk. He is a very continuous worker and a very pleasant person. Thank you very much for the good work. I would recommend him to anyone.

Dave brought my bathroom from old and out dated to a lovely sparkling up dated one

building a great new vanity, medicine chest and replacing the tile around the tub. His prices were also reasonable and he was right on budget. Would have him back for my next project.

Dave did an excellent job on my interior railing. It was an awkward layout, but he designed it and installed it beautifully. It was stain grade, so he stained and lacquered it as well. Overall very happy with his work.

Excellent work, very neat worker, on time and on budget. We would highly recommend Dave for any job big or small. Fred & Lea

I am a repeat satisfied customer as once again Dave has provided me with great quality work! Dave was willing to discuss price for my floor renovation with no hidden costs, with a full guarantee on his work. Friendly and experienced, Dave and Doug did great work for me previously in adding custom cabinetry and a counter top to an existing counter, and this time the same quality was provided with refinishing my hardwood floors. Thank you Dave and Doug!

Dave did an amazing job at our office. We needed a new front desk and cabinets for storage and Dave delivered above and beyond. He drew plans for the job and revised according to our needs. He was very easy to work with and we couldn't be more happy with the results. His attention to detail is exemplary and it shows in his work. He completed the job within the time limits we set and always cleaned his workspace after each work day. I would use DC Contracting again the next time I need work done and I highly recommend his services.

Dave Carney is customer focused and conscientious. He worked with us on our original design and was open to ideas - particularly around finishes, shelves and lighting. It was great to see our concept come to fruition under his care. The wall unit is beautiful - solid wood with a bar and an entertainment unit. He sourced all the materials and built the unit in pieces - installing each component in a timely manner and with great attention to detail.

Not only is he great at what he does but was friendly and smiling the whole time - even when things didn't go exactly as planned. Very happy with the results and the service!

I work at a local rental store and have know Dave and his crew for over ten years, I always believed he was a good contractor so I decided when I need work I would put him to the test. The counter tops were installed during the build and weren't done properly but Dave over came those problems and left me very satisfied with the end results.

The laminate they took out the old dark stuff and replaced it with new lighter product, there were some tricky fits with this installation because of the floor layout and Dave and Doug overcame those issues and left me with a floor I love. It came close to budget but because of some hidden problems that added a little labor to the job which I felt was fair.

I would recommend these fellow to anyone needing a reno.

Dave does an excellent job, great attention to detail. He makes sure the customer is happy before the job is complete.
