A renovation that finishes when we said it would
I'm Dan Harkness. Every job gets a written schedule and a written price before anyone swings a hammer, and I send you photos at the end of each week. If a date is going to slip, you hear it from me first, not from an empty driveway.
I answer my own phone. If I miss you, I call back same day.

What people say
They found rot under our old tub that nobody had warned us about. Dan called me before touching it and showed me the price change on paper the same day.
He gave me a start date in March and the truck pulled in on that exact morning. The driveway got swept every night, which mattered a lot with a two year old in the house.
We got three quotes for the addition. Theirs was not the cheapest, but it was the only one that broke out what the permit and the engineer were going to cost us.
Come see a job we are on
If you are trying to picture the work, I will walk you through a house we are finishing this month. Bring your drawings or just a photo off your phone, either one is enough to start.
