DMD General Construction

I am a repeat customer. A few years ago Mac and team remodeled our kitchen and replaced the floor. Project was completed to our satisfaction. We just recently came back to Mac with another project to remodel a powder room and once again it was done on time, on budget, and met our expectations.
Mac is very knowledgeable in all facets of construction. His crew members are pros and they produced excellent results. Mac «owns» the project and stands behind his commitments. Additionally, he is easy to work with and flexible to accommodate unplanned surprises.
I recommended Mac several times to some of my friends and will continue to work with him on future remodeling projects.

We did a home addition (700 sq. ft.) and remodel (reconfigured most of the rooms in the house including a great room & master bedroom suite). Mac, Krystian and DMD General Construction did a fantastic job — they were very easy to work with. They did a high quality job that we have received numerous kudos from friends and neighbors. They also completed the project on time. This was a major undertaking for us and they made it very easy throughout the process.
I highly recommend the DMD General Construction team; in fact have already recommended them to my friends and neighbors.

Mac and DMD General are a great crew! They are very responsive & get the job done quickly. They don’t take shortcuts and ensure that everything is done with quality, including getting permits as necessary. If something is wrong or doesn’t meet your expectations, Mac will come and get it fixed to ensure that you are happy. We moved into a new house and Mac’s team did a bunch of stuff for us — a full bathroom remodel, carpet removal, new closet installation, and a bunch of other smaller miscellaneous items. Even 6 months after the work was done, when we saw a couple of small issues, Mac came himself and fixed it. You won’t be disappointed if you go with DMD General. Good luck and thank you Mac!

I cannot say enough good things about Mac and Kristian and other guys in the team. Mac came in to help me with a complete bathroom remodeling after the last contractor completely messed up the project (It was a long story, I had to sue the other contractor in small claim court and I won the judgement). Because the previous bad experience with the other contractor, you can imagine how nervous I was to hire another one to fix the work. Mac came in and totally impressed me and he was amazing from the beginning to end. First of all, he gave me a reasonable quote — unlike a couple other contractors I got quotes from, they jacked up the price as soon as they saw that they had to fix someone else’s mess. Second, Mac’s team came in everyday and on time to work for a whole day. Their attention to details and their work ethics is the best I’ve seen. Mac paid his guys by the hour, but he never rushed his guys for quick work. He sees the quality of work as the most important, so his guys took the time to make sure the work was done right. Also, there really is no hidden cost/​fee from Mac. During the remodeling, it turned out that he needed to fix some electrical work that the previous contractor messed up, but in the end he did not charge me for this extra work. He could have charged me extra for this but he chose not to. I think he wants to maintain a good relationship with his customers. If I have more remodeling work in the future, I have no doubt that I will be going back to Mac. I highly recommend Mac and I would be happy to refer him to any of my friends who need to do any remodeling/​construction to their home.

We hired DMD General construction based on our friends reference and are so happy that we did. The team was very professional and good. The project was completed on time and with no surprises. Can’t believe how smooth it went off. Greatly pleased and enjoying our new bathroom.

Mac provides excellent service and stands behind his work 100%. I wrote a review 9 months ago after Mac and his team completed remodeling work at my house. I was very happy then, and still am now. He had done a great job. 2 weeks ago I asked for a few color touch-​ups. Even though it’s been a while since the job was completed, Mac sent a painter right away to take care of the touch-​ups. With Mac service is perfect and he values his customers and takes good care of them long term.

We are extremely happy with the people and work that Mac and his team provide at DMD Construction. They have helped us with two different homes over the past 6 years to remodel our kitchens, bathrooms, electrical, flooring, and cabinets. His team has always been helpful, friendly, easy to work with, and reliable!!! Mac is very honest and willing to do whatever it takes to make us happy. We will continue to use him in the future.

We hired Mac’s team to renovate one of our bathrooms. The project was completed on time and on budget. Everyone in the team is very professional and did a fantastic job. We liked them so much we plan to rehire them to renovate our other bathrooms. We especially liked how Mac gave us a detailed list of what the scope of the project was and how much each item costs so there are no surprises. When we had some issues with the fixtures we bought and needed time to repurchase, Mac’s team were very patient and had no problem coming back when we were ready with the new fixtures. The result of the renovation exceeded our expectations.

I hired DMD General Contractors based on first hand recommendation from a friend and I’m glad I did. The job objective was to build a ‘run-​of-​the-​mill’ pergola over our patio to provide some shade. I was very specific in terms of what I wanted built and Mac provided detailed quote that proved to be very competitive. That said the ultimate product delivered surpassed my wildest expectations. Without undue pressure Mac recommended some ideas to make this a special place to hang out. As I absorbed these ideas I began to realize that building a ‘one-​of-​a-​kind’ pergola was the way to go. The end result is a custom-​made (redwood) pergola with beautiful finishing touches, lighting, outdoor gas heater, fan and 50 inch TV and… cherry on the cake, fantastic IPE wood covered fence, all of which increased the value of my home by ~$ 50,000 (independent valuation). From the standpoint of typical concerns, we had none. The job was completed on schedule and within budget. Mac was easy to get a hold off and quick to address any concerns we had. His crew is a solid team of professionals.
There are those contractors that can take notes and execute well on what you want (DMD can do that no problem), but it takes a special kind of talent and willingness to go above and beyond to make sure client is truly happy in an effort to build long term relationships, that sets Mac apart from other contractors. DMD’s value proposition is second to none and I have since recommended Mac to my friends who shared similar experience.

This is a follow up to former review. I am a former developer and currently a real estate agent for the last 9 years. I’ve had DMD work with several of my clients on a variety of remodel projects, all of whom are very happy with his work and his pricing. I’ve also had them do some minor remodel projects for me, and I’ve always been pleased with every aspect of the process. Because of my positive experience I selected DMD over two other quality contractors to fully remodel a triplex in downtown Palo Alto. My experience has been nothing short of fantastic and I look forward to working with them again on another project I have slated for August. The Palo Alto project was a big job. We virtually replaced everything: New kitchens, baths, doors, all plumbing, all new electrical, new hardwood floors, all fixtures, etc… a total remodel. DMD’s price was competitive, the work was excellent, and they finished when they said they would so that I didn’t lose any rental income that i wasn’t expecting. The project went extremely smoothly, communication was constant and easy, and I’m extremely satisfied with the outcome. I will continue to use them and recommend them regularly. As I mentioned, I was a developer for 10 years in the 90’s and have built and /​or remodeled over 50 homes. I understand quality service and quality work and that is what was delivered to me through Mac and his crew.

We contracted Mac to completely remodel our house. The work included:
— Addition of two bedrooms and a dining area
— Significant remodeling of the interior of the existing structure (walls, electricity, etc)
— Reflooring the entire house with hardwood floor
— Renovating our bathrooms
— New stucco and exterior paint
— Indoor paint
— Etc.
Mac provided the most complete and detailed quote that we received for the job.
He committed to aggressive schedules and was willing to take a penalty in case of delay… the work was complete on schedule!
Our personal experience with Mac showed him to be a very honest person, who goes outside of his way to meet his commitments and ensure that the end result is to the full satisfaction of his customer.
We were very concerned going into the remodeling experience from the anticipated pain of working with the contractors.
Mac made the experience as smooth as can be and we were extremely happy — not only with the end result but also with the way Mac handled the process from start to finish.
BTW, we did have a few minor fix-​ups that were required after the job was complete and we went into the house. Mac completed those with no problem/​complain/​issue.
We have recommeded Mac to a few of our friends who were looking to do some remodeling work — all of whom seem to have had a similar and positive experience as ours.
I’d highly recommend Mac to others as well.

All we can say is attitude is condescending and communication was a huge problem.
Overall — a frustrating experience. The job was completed in eight weeks instead of three weeks with lots of issues.

We contracted with DMD General Construction to work on our newly bought house in San Jose. The work involved
1) Hardwood and Laminate flooring
2) Fireplace reconstruction
3) Electrical and data wiring
4) Plumbing
5) Work under crawl space to do cleanup and fix vents.
6) Tile work in bathrooms/​laundry
7) Other miscellaneous stuff.
What we found from the very beginning that the owner Maciej Wnorowski was a very difficult person to work with. His team was stretched out too thin. He would send all his workers to the other projects while our work went along at snails pace. He would never be present at the work site (he would have his employees working). It was very difficult getting hold of him to get status updates. Phones and emails went unanswered. His excuse would be that he was at a meeting.
Since he never supervised any work himself, the quality of work suffered.
We had to constantly prod him to take care of the little details: he would install a toilette but forget to caulk it.
His workers kept constantly dirtying our newly painted walls. He said he would take care of it. He sent a guy to patch up the paintwork but it would not match. I had to call my painter back to fix it.
He made a new fireplace, but the drywall around it was in such a bad condition that we could not paint over it. I had to call my drywall guy in to fix the drywall.
When we asked about status update for part of the project (work under crawl space), he claimed that it was all complete. He didn’t think anyone would actually go under the crawl space to check his work. But we did (I and my wife). And we took pictures of all the unfinished work and sent him copies. He acknowledged that none of the work was complete.
After more than a month of project delays, we finally got everything done. I paid close to $ 18 000 for the whole work. Once I paid him, he went totally dark. We found that some tile work and wiring was incomplete. I tried to for many weeks to contact him via email, phone and sms and got no response. I had to call him using a number he did not know about to get hold of him. He flatly refused to come and do any work and cut off the phone mid conversation.
This guy is arrogant, unfriendly and very unprofessional.
We would never do business with him again.
