Reviews

From 29 Portland homeowners.

  • After losing our GC for an extensive remodel, we interviewed 12 additional GCs and DWV was in our top 2 for consideration. What propelled DWV to the top was their professionalism, thoroughness, and acute detail to ensure they provided an accurate quote. Don was communicative, responsive, and provided solid advisement throughout. DWV maintains your best interest at all times.

  • Don was the third contractor to inspect our project. He immediately noticed the floor of the room was slightly sloped, possibly indicating a costly structural problem. This important detail was completely missed by the other two contractors. Don suggested a creative solution, fixing the problem while saving us a huge amount of money. We never felt uncomfortable with people working inside or outside our home. We are now using DWV to replace our roof and complete another small repair. If you want it done right, call Don. You won't be sorry.

  • We had nearly our entire first floor remodeled: kitchen, all new floors, bathroom updates, ceiling vaulted, etc. We had the exterior of our home redone: new siding, insulation, windows and doors. We chose Don because he has the best communication out of all of the contractors we've worked with. As of writing this review, I could probably call Don right now and have him over in a couple of hours. Don also hires great people — Marc, Vaughn, Brad, Ovi, Dylan, Ken — all awesome at what they do. We came in under budget on the initial quote.

  • We are thrilled we chose Don for our 1965 home remodel. He expertly handled a challenging layout, completed the work on time, and kept us within budget. Communication was excellent, and his experience made the process smooth. Special thanks to Marc and his team — their dedication is unmatched, and the tile work was exceptional.

  • We reached out to Don after his business appeared on a Lead Paint Abatement list for the Portland area. We had a pretty complex garage demo and rebuild project of which multiple contractors had already dropped the ball. Don and all of his contractors were respectful, timely, professional and friendly. He did regular check ins, clearly communicated at each step, and paid great attention to the small details. We now have a beautiful garage and are extremely happy.

  • We did a full remodel on a 1952 home with a challenging layout. All work was completed in a timely manner, and we stayed within the original budget. Don's experience was key in navigating the difficulties we faced. We trusted him from day one. The work Marc and his team did is simply the best — the tile work in particular was outstanding.

  • DWV is a small company that is able to create magnificent living spaces. Don Vedaa is a fine contractor and is on the job site daily. We converted four 100-year-old rooms in an old part of our house to a much more commodious, welcoming, and useful open space. They now blend seamlessly with the newer section, without losing the sense of a vintage domicile. We strongly recommend DWV for small to midsized domestic or business remodels, rebuilds, or new structures.

  • We hired DWV to remove an existing detached garage and plan/build a new one. The process was easy and painless from start to finish. They handled all the necessary permits and guided us through the whole process. Every team that came on-site was functional, professional and left the property in better condition than when they arrived.

  • Don helped us from start to finish on creating our ice cream shop. He answered every question along the way, helped with creative problem solving and assembled a crew of trustworthy and skilled contractors in tons of fields. He even helped us after we were done with two small problems and had a person to help fix it same day both times.

  • Don gave an 8-week estimate from demo to finishing touches. He walked us through each step of planning, including meeting at supply distributors. Don was always present at each phase. Everyone was professional, polite and skilled. We chose to continue living in our home during the project — Don made this as comfortable as possible. In the end our project was completed ahead of schedule, on budget, and we are completely pleased.

  • Don Vedaa was our contractor for the huge remodel and addition on our 1924 Portland bungalow. The work consisted of adding an extension for a bedroom/bath, new kitchen and laundry. Along with these, a dining room was created, existing bathroom remodeled, topped off with a new roof and paint all around. From the very beginning Don was responsive and worked hard to get us the information needed. The quality of the workmanship and materials was excellent.

  • DWV provided insightful ideas to bring our vision to life, helping to steer the remodel design with cost effective strategies. Don provided clear and transparent pricing that remained constant throughout the entire remodel. The entire construction from start to finished lasted 4 months, roughly in line with initial estimates. Built two absolutely gorgeous rooms in our home.

  • When Don started work my home was completely gutted down to the studs. He transformed my derelict structure into a beautiful home, from floor to ceiling and everything in between. On top of doing A+ work he is a great communicator and listener — I found it very easy to bounce ideas off of him. With his good communication comes efficiency and punctuality. He creates a timeline and amazingly sticks to it.

  • Don and team recently wrapped up a large demo to stud remodel for us. Don runs his jobs at a very high level of professionalism and expects the same from any subs he has come in. Outstanding workmanship, quality, and communication throughout the entire process while totally transforming our space into something amazing and unique to us.

  • DWV Construction is excellent. They sets itself apart from other contractors in several ways — superb communication, Don provides creative solutions that won't blow your budget, and work done on time. They did a full bathroom remodel on my 1930's home that had a few challenges. I'm hiring Don's team to remodel another bathroom and build out my basement.

  • DWV Construction remodeled my entire kitchen after a water leak in 2020 and the experience was smooth from start to finish. Don was easy to work with, helped me with decisions and worked with my insurance company. As the general contractor he coordinated and scheduled all the other contractors — for tear down, painting, flooring, plumbing, electrical, cabinet/counter installing and cleaning. From tear down to completion was only about 4 weeks.
