Below is what some customers say.  I'm always happy to provide you contacts in your efforts to dig deeper in finding the right contractor match for your project.  I have hundreds of homeowner and professional names and numbers of those I've worked with.

I've had some customer problems too, mostly in my earlier years of construction while 'learning' how to work with others.  Some my fault, some theirs.  But, even back then none have gone unresolved, and none chose to leave a negative comment.

"Dyck DeWid is a master at what he does. He worked with me in building the garage and room I wanted with the budget I had. Dyck is very creative with solutions to any building challenges, and did a great job in keeping us informed. One thing that was most impressive is the quality of the contractors he employs and the obvious high respect they have for him. I highly recommend him." January 16, 2009  Brossman

"This contractor finished a basement for us. His work ethic is unmatched in this industry. The subcontractors he chose for that job were all excellent. I felt like I had the best of the best working for the best. I had heard so many horror stories from friends about their building projects with other builders that I was cautious about hiring any contractor. Dyck Dewid breaks the mold for this industry. I've never seen anyone so focused on customer satisfaction, and pay such attention to detail. If you want a job done right, you really can just call just call him and relax. He will watch over every project like it was for his own house. That's not just a line. He really did that for us. He was on the job site very frequently and checked on the progress of every sub. He personally was there on the last day for clean up and final inspection, making sure I was happy with every last detail. I would recommend this contractor to anyone that wants the job done right the first time."       M Beam.  Raleigh, NC

Because its so hard to find and test out the Responsibility attribute in others, I should start selling it. I could get $840 per ounce- the price of gold. (just to allow others to witness it!).

To me, taking responsibility makes sense... Sure it can be scary if one isn't confident in their competency and abilities.  But, I am confident in my capabilities and honor.  This is what I get paid for...  to provide a construction service and to be responsibile for what I do.  And of course, it is what brings me more business too.

It seems so simple.  Everyone on my team is personally responsibile for what they do.  And I am responsible to you, the customer, for everything overall.  This is what makes problems go away much more quickly and easily and prevents carelessness and aloofness from my team.  And we learn from it.  You can probably see by now, how I am wide open to explore and perfect my art.
