DSC

Darren came out on a Sunday evening to provide us with an estimate. His email was personable rather than a standard cookie cutter response showing us that he read about our concerns and focused on fixing the past problems we've had with contractors. His crew was on time, reliable and performed amazing work. Our existing drywall corner bead had to be removed and replaced, remudded and sanded. The job the previous person did made their fixes more difficult than working on new construction. We are very thankful he took the time to explain the cost, the procedures and what the finished product should look like.

We employed Darren's company to do a major renovation to a 100 year old house in Toronto. From the beginning Darren and his project manager and designer Natasha helped us draw up a plan that was attractive, practical and made best use of the space while keeping our budget in mind.The suggestions and help choosing colour, flooring and design fitted with the age of the house while still allowing for a contemporary feel.

With an old house renovation problems always arise but Darren made it as stress free as possible and always seemed able to find a good solution very quickly. Any additional work was discussed in a timely way and the associated costs were reasonable. He co-ordinated the work with the different trades involved in a very seamless way and obtained all of the necessary permits for the work.

We were amazed how clean his team kept the house, clearing everything as they went along. The whole work crew were very pleasant and efficent.

As you can see we were very satisfied and would highly recommend DSC. We will want this company to work with us again on any future projects we may have.

DSC did a bathroom/bedroom reno in our condo that is extremely beautiful and shows their terrific workmanship. The crew, and the subs, were easy to work with, all were friendly, nice people and they were always courteous and did what they said they were going to do. They cleaned up after themselves, both in the apartment and in the shared areas and as a result they were very popular with the building staff. Although any reno is somewhat stressful, everyone at DSC tried to make it as smooth as possible - for us and also for our dog. The results are better than we had hoped for . Darren worked with us at every step so that we could participate in all the decisions, and let us know what was happening regularly and clearly. He and his crew cared very much how the project came out, and that effort and care shows in the finished product. We would not hesitate to hire DSC again in the future and would recommend them to everyone.

Darren and his team are the ultimate professionals. I was placed in contact with him through a friend and I have not regretted a single job that he has done (4 jobs so far). I have employed Darren for major reconstruction/refurbishment and smaller tasks. On every job I have been very impressed with the quality of his (and his team's) workmanship. Darren is a perfectionist and will not cut corners. I want my kitchen refurbished this year and I will not be contacting anyone but Darren. He is one of the few contractors that you would never regret employing!

We own an old semi-detached along the Danforth and Darren and David have done several jobs for us including, exterior and storm door installation, tiling a front hall, bathroom renovation and insulating an attic. Overall we have been very pleased with the work they have done. They are very good at communicating about the job and trouble shooting issues that arise in working on an old home. They are always willing to consult other experts if needed and they are absolutely committed to ensuring that their clients are %100 satisfied with the work. Darren and David are completely trustworthy they will do what they say and we never hesitated to have them in our house. Our three-year old still asks about them and wonders when the are coming back.

We have an old Victorian house in Riverdale, Toronto. Our porch had been re-worked sometime in the past, and was in much need of repair. Our biggest concern was to bring the look of it back in line with the Victorian design of the house. We looked at other porches in old areas of the city and came up with a basic plan that Darren worked up into several options for us. He even took the time to actually build sections of railing to show us what it would look like when done. It was a very collaborative process. We couldn't have been happier with the result. The quality of workmanship was superb. Our neighbours liked it so much, that they had Darren re-do their porch as well.

Since the first job, we have had Darren back to install drywall and patch up rotten foundations on our garage. We're very pleased with all of the work. I would highly recommend DSC.
