I've worked with D&J on several projects over the years and they have always delivered. I highly recommend them for a remodel.

A bit on the pricier side but the quality and responsiveness is worth it. You get what you pay for. They are courteous, clean and most importantly on time!
It was a relatively small job (master bathroom toilet and shower) and they did that work on schedule and to our satisfaction.
Would not hesitate to use them again to do any other work. Service: Tile work installation

We do Not Recommend this Company.
We were looking for a construction team that would remodel our very small and outdated bathroom. After reading reviews and interviewing we chose D&J.
John Otto (Owner), came out and assured us we would be working with professionals, the majority of which were employed by D&J, so our project would be seamless. We were expecting a Turnkey Remodel, where we let them do the job with no need for our input or monitoring after all the selections were made for the tile, fixtures and paint. That was definitely not the case.
First, a few positives. Each of the many workers that came into our home were always polite.
The tile setter, cabinet setter, and hot mop trades were extremely professional and did excellent work. The Tile Tradesman (A+ Tile & Stone), a subcontractor, was a craftsman. He covered everything and actually removed the bathroom door so as not to damage it, although it had already been damaged by the Demolition Team and yes, it eventually had to be replaced.
Now a little bit of the experience:
The drawbacks were many.
Their internal Communication is terrible. No one generally knew what was going on or what was requested by us to the previous crew, with the exception of those mentioned above. One example - Time and again, we asked that our floor and walkway be protected. Finally, after asking again in writing, they put down cardboard, as they were damaging our entryway brickwork, but it was soon removed and we had to request it be placed again. There were many other examples of poor communications.
As to actively monitoring the work? They will tell you they have a Punch List at the end of the project, so no need to update or monitor the progress. If we had waited for that? It would have been additional weeks to complete.
There were quite a few issues, here are a few that We discovered and had to point out to D&J:
Removing and resetting the light cans, which were placed in the incorrect spot, not per the Plan. The crew told no one of this move. So that resulted in removing the cans and cutting new holes, patching the old holes, retexturing as well as repainting.
Cabinet doors that were damaged, again, No mention from the crew of this, and they had to be reordered, counter top backing not cut/ installed properly, damaged hallway wall to be repaired/ patched/ textured and painted, multiple issues with the Shower Door and Glass as well as the faucet temperature settings, etc., etc.
Just those items probably would have required several more weeks to correct, plus it took at least Five visits to get the shower door installed properly, so, waiting for the Punch List? not a viable option if Time is a consideration.
Here is an idea, How about have the Lead for the Day Check their work and Note what needs to be corrected for the next day and pass it on?
The Attention to Detail was, for the most part, nonexistent.
In short, save yourself about $10,000.00 to $12,000.00 and be your own Contractor, and ensure it's done correctly the 1st time.
Good Luck. Service: Bathroom remodeling

I highly recommend D&J Design Build.
PROJECT: Kitchen and dining area total remodel with removal of 2 walls on a 1960s house.The D&J team worked really well together, were professional, polite and friendly. I would
highly recommend D&J Design Build to design and execute a project. I will use D&J Design Build for any future projects. The field superintendent was detail oriented and through. The crew
was always respectful and considerate. They provided quality workmanship.
I used D&J Design build for a kitchen and dining room remodel with removal of 2 walls on a1960s house. This was huge project for my home and I was nervous going into it.The initial walk thru involved the owner, field superintendent, designer and electrician. This covered discussion of what I wanted to do, was it doable, possible upgrades to electrical and plumbing to meet code requirements. The D&J team was detail oriented, knowledgeable, addressed all of my concerns and listened to what I wanted for my project.
The designer was very knowledgeable and easy to work with. She focused on my requests and provided several designs based on my wants and the shape and size of the area. After selecting
the basic design, she worked with me on cabinet styles & types, counter tops, appliances, fixtures and flooring. The team provided options thru out the remodel when issues arose such
as; the electrical panel was not large enough to add another circuit breaker. Options included having gas cooktop instead of an electric one or upgrade the electrical box or add a subpanel.
A start date was established along with an estimated time frame to complete the project, barring no major surprises. The owner sent me weekly updates via email on the status of my
project and if there were any issues or material delays. My project was COMPLETED ON TIME and WITHIN MY BUDGET!
I stayed in the house during the remodel and D&J was very accommodating and helped me setup a kitchenette in another area of my home. D&J took care to seal off the entrances to other rooms to minimize the dust and they cleaned the job site daily. At the end of the project, they provided a full cleaning of my new beautiful kitchen.
I would definitely recommend D&J Design Build to design and execute a project. Service: Home renovations
