We picked up a property halfway through construction from another builder at the drywall stage, and had to find other trades and contractors to finish what was started. Dan and Lorraine with Ivy League were incredibly helpful at finishing our home and not only did all our trim work and door hanging & hardware install, drywall work & patching but also consulted us on numerous other parts of the home, offering us advice and expertise that was invaluable. They quoted us promptly and completed the work efficiently with great communication.
I was very pleased with the service I received from both Dan and Lorraine. They were professional and honest in their assessment of the job and the quote given which is refreshing as I have on more than one occasion been subjected to dishonest and disreputable tradesmen. It was done on time and with very good attention to detail. I was out of town when Dan did the work and was impressed that he took photos of the job so I could see the process when I came back. He was also very neat having even vacuumed the lawn to get rid of the sawdust from cutting the wood for the lattices. I would highly recommend Ivy League Developments.
We would recommend Ivy League Developments for any project. Dan and Lorraine were excellent to work with and did a fantastic job! We had a short-time frame to complete this project and they reworked their schedules to accommodate our deadline. Their quote was reasonable and it was the final price. They were always on time and made sure we were very satisfied with every step throughout the project. They take great pride in their work to provide professional results. We were very pleased!

Contractor( Dan) was prompt and prepared. An internal frame needed to be built, and it all seemed to come naturally to him. All that needs to be said is I was pleased with the end result, the length of time for the project, and the final cost. I would recommend this company to anyone.
I worked with Dan on a major renovation and was impressed with his demeanor, professionalism and problem solving. I have worked with many trades people over the years and he is definitely in the top 3 list. I recommend him on a regular basis and will continue to do so.
Over the last 6 years I have referred and also used Dan Steves and Lorraine Archibald's services. Not only are they professionals in every way. They commit to their timeline as well as the quote prices. I'm happy to have worked with them and look forward to our future projects.

Finding a reliable builder can be daunting. Many can talk the talk but can't deliver as they have said. Ivy league Developments does deliver. I hired Dan and his team through a large building group. I wanted the large building group as a form of a guarantee that I would be able to have some one to go back to if there were problems. I was impressed with Dan's knowledge base and professionalism when I met him, but I still didn't know if he could deliver. Now as our build comes to a close I can honestly say that I am very impressed with him and his team. I was very closely involved in the day to day aspect and so I got to see the attention to detail always used. "Build it right" he says and build it right they did. I want strong, straight and pleasing work and I want it on budget and on time. Many other sub trades I hired did not meet my exceptions but Dan did. I would fully recommend him and his team if you want it done right without short cuts.
