DSP Construction

Dsp really is the best guy around for any home improvement projects. Danny has proven to be a great contractor and a pleasure to work with. I’ll keep calling him as I take on new projects. Honesty goes a long way with me and I trust him to give accurate estimates and get the job done on time

I used Danny Pardini for a large remodel job, adding 425 sf to our 1060 sf house, adding a second bathroom, new kitchen, and rearranging the laundryroom. I am thrilled with the final project, I love my house and it hasn’t had any major problems 1.5 years later. Danny takes his time, stays calm and communicative about the work, and the craftsmanship is very good. I trusted him and all the subs he had working here. There are a few things to be aware of– the job was supposed to take 10 weeks and took two extra months, and then extended on another 6 months while we kept trying to pass final inspection. I wished he had been more aware of some of the things San Carlos required to avoid that long delay in passing final inspection (which also delayed us refinancing). But, the bottom line is when all said and done I love how the house turned out and am very happy with the work. I plan to use Danny for future projects and highly recommend him.

Danny and crew remodeled our kitchen including tearing out a wall and ceiling, cutting into the concrete slab to install a grade beam and gas fueled island range, adding a Simpson strong wall for seismic permitting, leveling the floor, building a custom curved washroom wall, installing a fir planked cathedral ceiling, tiling the floor with terracotta tiles, installing cabinets and new windows and much more. The job was challenging because the adobe brick structure has no space for piping and cabling — but DSP never balked when problems arose and always came up with solutions. The new kitchen is to code, spacious and beautiful thanks to DSP’s craftsmanship and flair. Changes were always handled in a professional manner. And we will miss hearing Danny sing while he and his crew beaver away!

In the home stretch — waiting for stucco to cure, along with some trim, then the final paint job thereafter…
Danny and his crew did a great job with our windows and patio door — lots of rot, etc — but as he always does — took care of business and moved on like it was nothing. Now we have windows that are level and plumb, nice interior trim around each window. For the kitchen and baths, Danny worked with Rob at the Countertop Store (San Carlos) to custom fabricate custom sills from Corian — made everything just flow together — a beautiful touch that I didn’t anticipate until I came home one night and was simply amazed at the final product.
We did run into some issues with the stucco sub contractor — the original sub had an emergency so this was a crew I’ve never met. They certainly were not as respectful of my property like Danny and his crew. I came home one night to find my the plywood in my entryway soffit pulled, down to the studs, replaced with only metal lathe as they were prepping for stucco. What had been a solid piece of ½ plywood was now just steel mesh, with my items in storage exposed to the elements. Dropped a text to Danny (because it was late), got email back immediately — said they would take care of it. Within a few days, the lathe comes down, area is redone with new plywood, then the lathe reapplied. I’m so, so glad Danny and Ed took charge of the situation — I was pretty furious — but as a good GC should, they took responsibility — fixed the issues and kept the subs in-​line and the project on-​track.
I’ve got to say — throughout this process, with Danny taking the lead, it’s been a fairly calm experience — my advice is to be flexible with your schedule and move out of the house — the peace and serenity is priceless. :)

Danny recently completed a 500 square foot «bump out» addition and kitchen remodel for us. He was very laid back, easy to work with, and completely trustworthy. We found him by word of mouth from friends in our neighborhood who had good experiences with him. He went to great lengths to match the period style of our 80 year old house, and we were happy with the quality of his work.

Weren’t able to use Danny for our remodel because of scheduling conflicts but I wanted to write a review as we’ve been in in touch with him since our initial bid several months ago. We are undergoing a huge remodel in our home and have had several contractors through to bid the job. Danny was fairly priced, knew his «stuff» and was extremely responsive throughout our exchanges. He will definitely stay as our #1 contact for any projects we have in the future.

Danny and crew did a remodel for me in my 970 sq ft condo October 2013 — Jan 2014. The original scope of work was new lighting, replacing existing lighting, crown molding, baseboards and fresh paint throughout.
Half way through the remodel we discovered a mold issue in my bathroom. (AKA major mold infestation.) Danny also took care of the entire bathroom (although this was an unexpected bump in my remodel road.) The bathroom was gutted to the outer walls including some of the studs. Danny was able to basically rebuild the entire bathroom, insulation, drywall, tile work, shower doors, tile floor baseboards, lighting, etc.
My condo looks so much better then when I bought it, and I’m sure it would now sell for more then when I bought it as well. Everything came out looking and functioning very well. I’ve gotten a lot of compliments on the improvements especially the bathroom.
Danny is professional and you can tell he’s doing all the right steps to make sure things are going to pass inspection. My condo is now a pimp party palace, not a 1990’s cat motel.

I needed to prepare my closet for an installation by California Closets. Danny was responsive and offered a competitive price. He was also willing and able to use some paint I had in storage so that I didn’t have to get more paint. His work was done with professionalism, quality, and with a friendly demeanor. For anyone looking to get construction work done I recommend contacting Danny at DSP Construction to see how he can help you.

Another great job by Danny and his crew, this time made an un-​used portion of our garage into a usable laundry/​craft room. Done on time, on budget, waiting until the hubby leaves again for another project! DSP is a keeper!

Danny was excellent to work with. We had him carve out a new bathroom from an existing, large bedroom. We had drawn up all the plans ourselves, but Danny was helpful with troubleshooting along the way when we needed to tweak a few details after the demo gave a clearer picture. His team did a good, careful job of keeping the site clean and contained during demo and construction. They did good quality work and got it done in a reasonable amount of time. I would definitely work with DSP again.

We are a business that used DSP to remodel our showroom. We spoke with several different contractors, but DSP was the most responsive. Danny came in multiple times before starting the job to make sure he had every detail right. They started work last week and just finished today, which is ahead of schedule. They did a really great job, and the results are better than we had hoped for.

I used DSP Construction last month for a new patio. A good bid, very «aware» sub contractors (when they poured the concrete, they put up plastic to protect the existing (and freshly painted) stucco), and did an excellent job of the coloring/​stamping. The end result is taking what looked like a Martian landscape and turning it into a fantastic huge patio.
Highly recommended.

Danny and his team helped us convert our garage into a playroom. He was easy to communicate with, flexible and reasonably priced. His work is great!
