Adam and his team at Design & Custom construction renovated our basement and did a remarkable job. From start to finish was like a walk in the park. Always showed up with a smile and ready to work. Delivered on budget and time frame. Very satisfied with Adam and his team and look forward to working with him again.
I had a great experience with DC Construction! Adam was professional, reliable, and delivered high-quality work with great attention to detail. I appreciated his honest communication and commitment to doing things right. Highly recommend!
Adam completed a 750sqft renovation with absolute precision in early 2023. He cares deeply about the quality of his work. From flooring to bathrooms to concrete work—everything was perfect. Amazing team!
We initially contacted Adam at DC Construction regarding a quote for a side entrance into our basement. After several consultations, Adam was ready to begin work. After a family medical emergency, we had to put plans on hold. Adam was extremely understanding and caring. His professionalism and knowledge are excellent.
I contacted Adam to close out our Basement Building Permit with a Wet Bar. Thanks to his extensive experience with Guelph building codes, everything closed quickly and cost-effectively. Highly recommend for your next renovation.
Adam showcased tremendous value during our complete home rebuild. He handled all township permit requirements and guided us through everything with expertise. Highly recommend DC Construction for renovations or rebuilds.
We hired DC Construction to update our basement. Living in a home that is over 100 years old, we knew that this job would come with its fair share of 'challenges'. After meeting with Adam and checking his references we signed a fixed bid contract and began work. From day one Adam and his team provided excellent, professional service. Any changes in the scope of the job (additions or deletions) were documented and agreed to by both parties. The entire job took a bit longer than originally planned, but that was primarily due to changes in the scope of the project. The thing that we appreciated most was Adam's attention to detail. He did not cut any corners and in fact, went beyond my expectations. We felt like we were getting the same level of quality, care and workmanship that he would exercise if working on his own home. Adam provided many helpful ideas, recommendations and suggestions that we now enjoy every day. Since completing the job, the 'after sales service' has also been great. Adam is very responsive to any queries or questions we have and has gone above and beyond to ensure we are fully satisfied. If you are looking for a positive, conscientious contractor, I highly recommend Adam and his team at DC Construction.
DC Construction replaced the flooring throughout our house, renovated 3 bathrooms and the kitchen. They transformed our lack-luster California cathedral ceiling with hanging lights to a spectacular smooth finished spectacle complete with pot lights and skylights. In addition, they added living space by removing a main floor pantry and space efficiently working it into the new kitchen. They also relocated and refined our laundry room. Because of their knowledge and experience, they were able to help us modify our original plan to enable us to reduce costs, while creating a superior look. They pay attention to detail (Adam is a perfectionist), work diligently in a transparent manner and are friendly and dedicated, always “putting the customer first”. I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude and would highly recommend DC Construction to anyone considering a major home renovation.
We were very lucky when we chose Adam Jagt of DC Construction to do a major reno of our home. We could not have asked for a better contractor. The quality of Adam's work is exceptional as are his customer service skills. He is very skilled in all aspects of the job and his work far exceeded our expectations. Adam was professional, courteous, reliable, and quick to return our calls. He is an excellent problem solver and was always able to find a solution to reno challenges. Adam is an honest, hard-working contractor, who kept the reno costs within budget. The process was transparent in every aspect of this large reno which included gutting and installing a kitchen, 3 bathrooms, flooring and drywall repairs. Our home has undergone an amazing transformation and looks gorgeous. Thank you Adam!
