From San Mateo, CA. Project completed in late 2010.
We
met Daniel Purinton and Better Homes Construction at the San Mateo
Home Show in January. We were planning on remodeling our kitchen (a
complete tear-out) and we were looking for a contractor and ideas.
We talked with Daniel, explained that we were just starting the
process and would consider having him come out and work with us. We
met several times over the next two weeks and Daniel gave us several
good ideas and designs. However, we wanted to identify our
appliances, look at different cabinet companies, and generally do
additional homework.
We
spent the next nine weekends looking at and selecting our appliances,
talking with five different kitchen designers and cabinet suppliers,
selecting our granite and quartz countertop materials, etc. We even
hired a Design Consultant to help us with the layout. Finally after
two and a half months of constant weekend homework, we were ready to
select a contractor. Being a General Engineering Contractor myself,
I created Specifications and solicited four bids, three from
contractors where we would act as the General and supply cabinets,
countertops, etc. and a bid from Better homes Construction (Daniel)
where he would supply the cabinets, countertops, plumbing,
electrical, painting, and any other subcontractor and work with us on
items that we wanted to supply (granite, light fixtures, appliances,
etc.). Daniel’s price was second from the lowest and less than
half the highest bid we received; and his bid was the first one that
we received. We had to wait three weeks for two other bids and four
weeks for the last bid).
We
elected to work with Daniel and Better homes Construction and it was
the best decision that we could have made. The construction work was
very high quality and extremely fast. The demolition and rough
plumbing/electrical was completed in two weeks and the entire project
was completed within six weeks. The owner, Bruce, pushed the
subcontractors to complete their work in a timely fashion,
coordinated the inspections with the Building Department without
delay, and implemented the corrections that had to be made in a
timely fashion. We even had molding custom manufactured to match
existing molding and this was accomplished without impacting the
schedule. Changes were accommodated and additions and subtractions
to the contract price were negotiated fairly.
We
appreciated working with Better Homes Construction to such an extent
that we are planning on using them for our next project, a bathroom
re-model.

I want to say that all of the workers including your
subcontractors have all been very professional and courteous in both
their work and in their conversations with Gwyn.
Thank you.

Dear
Dan: I
so appreciate your professional help today, and your follow
through
afterward, to finish my bathroom upstairs and the doors in my house. The
cat seems better today (she always is when Jaime and his crew are
here, instead of the demolishers). However, the floor people should
come in next, so I am taking her to boarding tomorrow AM,If
she can be found. I
think your suppliers and their fine goods, and your wonderful
iconoclastic design in the first place, have set up a really fine and
radically new design of my home. Again, thank you, and I am looking
forward to next steps.
Sincerely,

My mother needed her master bath and
bedroom upgraded with handicap compliance. Not only did the upgrade fit her
needs, the bath was beautiful and stylish. Dan and Lou are professional yet
personable, stay within budget and are all about the customer. We also had them upgrade the
electrical for safety and future improvements. It was another impeccable job.

Hi Dan,
Hope you're well, and that your website is generating lots of business for you. My daughter's wedding was wonderful, and now I have time to actually catch up on everything else, including your letter of recommendation. Here it is, finally:
Around my house, we call Dan Purinton "Dan the Man" because he's directly responsible for the fact that I now have the kitchen of my dreams. Last November, I signed a contract to have my kitchen extended and renovated because Dan, the sales and design partner, seemed knowledgeable, trustworthy, and was very responsive to my ideas. I really enjoyed working with him to design my space and selecting the materials.
Good luck Dan, and I'll definitely call you when we start thinking about the bathroom renovation.
Best wishes,
Tae
