I will get into the details below, but I want to lead off by saying I would highly recommend DCR Building and Remodeling for any home project! Me and my wife needed a full and a half bath remodeled, including replacement of all of the drain pipes due to their age, as well as wear and tear over the years. We gave Dave Rugato a call back in the May timeframe and he promptly came out to take a look at the project. He then came back to us to meet us in person to go over the quote, the details of the project, etc. We were comfortable with the price, as well as his approach to do things the right way, always preaching quality, so we signed on for the project. Dave and his team started the project in a timely fashion. We had a house full of a dog, plus three little kids (6, 4, 1) so cleanliness and having folks in the house I could trust was of utmost importance. My kids would look forward to Mark coming to the house to begin work every single day. He even had my son lay a few tiles in the shower, which my 6-year old still points out are the ones he put there! Pretty awesome stuff. Dave and his team members (led by Mark) did a great job with the demolition, making everything fast and being sure they cleaned up at the end of each day. Vacuuming for nails, putting the toilet back at the end of every working day, were little things that went a lot way to helping us not have to vacate the house while we had both bathrooms being done simultaneously. Everything came together timely and it was great to see the whole thing to take shape over time! Needless to say, the full and half bath are perfect and exactly what we wanted! â ¨DCR Building and Remodeling did two full bathrooms for our in-laws, as well as another full bull bathroom for a friend of ours in town, and the experience was just as positive as ours. We will certainly have DCR Building and Remodeling back for a future project. Thank you for our amazing new bathrooms and for having a fantastic crew that truly knows how to work around a family.

We needed a total renovation of an existing in-law apartment to become handicapped accessible. It was a fairly large project since the space had to be completely gutted and redesigned. The project went very well and we were extremely pleased with the quality of work done by DCR Building and Remodeling. Dave was always available to answer our questions and the project was done on time and budget. The installation of the handicapped accessible bathroom was especially challenging. There were 5 doorways including the bathroom entering to the same hall and everyone of them had a different height floor. Dave and his crew did a fantastic job of leveling all the floors so the Wedi waterproof flooring in the bathroom worked properly. It is obvious from their work that they are highly skilled and very detailed oriented. I would hire DCR again without hesitation.

Dave has done both small and large projects for us over the last 10 years including a complete kitchen renovation. Dave has a great attitude and is honest and fair. We especially like working with him because he is detail oriented, explains things thoroughly and above all is very patient. His work is excellent.

I was looking to hire a contractor to add a bathroom in my Basement. Dave of DCR showed up when he said he would and worked with me to come up with a plan for the bathroom. He gave an excellent price and began work when he said he would. During the build, problem arose that Dave handled professionally and with patience. He helped us figure the problems out and his recommendation were spot on! The finished job was above our expectations. A true professional that works with the homeowner to build the best product he can. I highly recommend you consider DCR for your next home improvement job.

DCR built my dental office which is now D2 Dental Associates of Malden, in 2007. The build out was very complex. The drawings were based on imperfect measures, and the designer's very beautiful design.
David Rugato simplified the design and corrected the measurements. This build out resulted in years of joy and complements. The dentists who bought my practice immediately fell in love with the space.
I have seen other of DCR's projects. I highly recommend DCR construction for any kind of project.

DCR Building and Remodeling was the last company out of 6 companies interviewed to rebuild our house after a house fire. Immediately after meeting Dave, we knew his company was the best fit for our project. Our house needed to be gutted and rebuilt completely. Not only were his quotes the best and most reasonable, but his professionalism, knowledge, and communication throughout the project exceeded our expectations by far! He manages his crew and subcontractors with such organization and expertise that when we look at our house now, we still can't believe it's ours. It's perfect from our standards. With our house having a fire, it was a very complicated process involving the insurance company, the mortgage company, and multiple inspections to manage all at the same time to keep the project running. Dave treated our home with TLC as if it was his own. His work ethic translates throughout his entire crew as every one of them takes pride into every detail. With some of the bad reputations out there for some contractors, DCR Building and Remodeling put faith and trust back into us as customers because not only had our house been burnt, but we had also been burnt by contractors in our past experiences. I can't say enough about these guys! Through some of our darkest times and being uprooted from our home, their continuous support has really carried carried us through! Hire these guys without hesitation!

Dave and the DCR crew were great. The guys were a delight to have at the house. My kids (two and four) were sad to see Mark (aka "New Guy") leave when job was done. The work was great too! House stayed clean during demo and finished bathrooms are great! DCR gave me a 5 star bathroom in my 3 star house.

20 years ago, Dave first worked with us to build an addition to our house after we moved in, adding two large bedrooms and a bathroom to our second floor. DCR did a wonderful job back then, and we have really enjoyed living in the space ever since.
A couple of months ago, our house was unfortunately damaged by a fallen tree. Dave and his crew worked on the repairs, and began the project promptly after the incident occurred. He and his team are friendly, professional, detail-oriented and reliable. Repairs were completed in a timely manner and the damaged room was restored like new. We are grateful for their quick response.
We've always been extremely satisfied with the outcome of his team's work, and highly recommend DCR. We are currently working with DCR on another project on our property, and are very excited to see how it will turn out in a few months and know that they will do great work again.

We've been slowly remodeling and expanding our home. This project scope was to build a covered porch and replace another entrance way so it matched. During the pandemic it was hard to even get a contractor to reply...those who did come out for an initial visit never even followed through with a quote. Dave came out, and spent time with us and actually followed through. It took a while to get them onsite but we knew the timing upfront...the backlog of work is long since everyone is stuck at home thinking about renovations! Anyway, once they got started the work proceeded smooth and steady. They faced some unexpected challenges that are inevitable with mating new and existing construction and tackled them in stride without a fuss. The end result is excellent and they are not afraid to come back and address the few minor punch list items. Highly recommend!

Brian Trippe

Professional, friendly, honest, and a team of great problem solvers. It is obvious that David takes pride in the quality of his work. After several horrific experiences with other contractors, it has been a pleasure to work with DCR.
