DSC

Doing an extensive remodel, which we just completed is a very personal thing!! Some builders want you to make every decision before the first day of work commences, which is completely unrealistic and impossible to do. These builders will throw costly change orders at you for the most insignificant thing which doesn't even alter the cost of the change. When one tears their house apart to create a new one, you are bound to make changes. Most of those changes are an easy fix that don't affect extra labor, materials, additional equipment rentals and don't affect the builders timeline!! Of course entire design changes are justified to cost extra, that's a given. Derek Sammons of DSC took extreme care and time to go over every detail and aspect of the entire process, from planning to demo. and then construction. Derek transformed our original house which was outdated and poorly built into a gem of a house we can now call home!! Before every major step forward, he was clear and precise that if we wanted to do anything different, no matter how slight, now was the time to do it at no extra cost. We can't praise Derek's professionalism enough!!! We finished under budget rather than over which is most often the case, and most of all ahead of schedule by a month. Derek is a joy to work with, in addition to being extremely talented and knowledgeable in all aspects of construction from tee to green and he is a genuinely nice person. He is now a member of our extended family! All in all we would highly recommend Derek and DSC to friends, family and complete strangers. Bruno and Gretchen

Derek and his team were amazing to work with. We did not have prior experience working with a contractor, and worried about cost, timeliness and communication. We called a few contractors and many of them were hesitant to even come out and talk to us about our project. Derek was the opposite. He spent about a month working with us, and providing concept designs. It was a little like working with a designer from HGTV. We told him our budget up front and he was able to help us get as much as we could for the money we had. He even connected us with a landscaper for future plans. The thing that really sets Derek apart though is his communication. He didn't project any defensiveness, and worked alongside us when we were concerned about the project. He said repeatedly, "I want to make sure I get your dream right." And he did. We WILL work with Derek again, and I would highly recommend him to anyone else.

Nothing but good things to share about Derek Sammons Construction. My wife and I originally met with him to discuss a ADU build on the back of our property. Derek was on time, professional, and used state of the art software to create renderings of the vision with video animation. Once we gave the go ahead, Derek handled all of the permitting and construction process and communicated often where we were at in the build. The end result was nothing short of amazing. The quality craftsmanship and close attention to detail were evident everywhere you look. Derek takes pride in his work and I would highly recommend him anytime! Bryan

Derek did a great job on our 900 square foot studio/shop project which included a full bath. The building also featured a 300 square foot storage loft with pull down ladder. This project took place during the middle of the pandemic and there were supply/material/employee issues beyond anyones control. Derek handled the issues smoothly and kept the project on time and on budget. Derek is also a very creative problem solver and had several ideas that enhanced the finished building. I highly recommend Sammons Construction. Plus he's not afraid of heights!

We used Derek Sammons for a backyard Accessory Dwelling build and we cannot recommend him enough. We worked closely with DSC during the entire process. From a complete demolition of our garage to creating a layout that worked with us, all while being honest and aware of our budget. It was great to get updates from Derek throughout the process as well. The ADU turned out even better than expected, we would absolutely recommend Derek to everyone!
