I renovated my kitchen and used D Saunders Contracting, LLC to assemble custom kitchen cabinets from SemiHandmade. Dave cut the custom pieces wrong, promised to pay for the replacement, but didn't. In addition, he charged me for the final payment before the project was completed without my authorization after a final walkthrough, violating our signed contract. I don't like writing negative reviews, especially for a local businesses but I don't want this to happen to anybody else. read more

I remodeled my kitchen and used this contractor and the results were great! We had custom built shaker cabinets made from Walnut and it is absolutely beautiful! The installers were very nice and took a lot of time making sure that the mess was contained to work areas and cleaned up well every day. There were a few hidden surprises but the team discussed our options and gave clear pricing on all of the options so we could make a quick informed decision to keep everything on schedule. We are so happy with the final result, if you want high quality work check these guys out. read more

We bought cabinets at Ikea and used their installation crew. Unfortunately they do not do everything we needed. I was referred to Saunders Contracting and had them demo our old kitchen and a load bearing wall. They installed a hardwood floor and got everything ready for Ikea to install the cabinets. The Ikea install went OK but there were some things that I wasn't too thrilled about but left alone. When Dave came back to connect our sink and install a back splash we had him redo some of the trim work the Ikea guys did and now it's 100% better. If we hadn't already signed a contract with the Ikea installers I would have preferred to have Saunders Contracting do the whole job. read more

We used D Saunders Contracting to add a bathroom and half kitchen in our basement. The tile shower and floors are perfect and their Amish cabinets are a great value. I wish we knew about this contractor a few years ago when we remodeled our kitchen. We paid about 50% more for cabinets that are not as nice. read more

Dave installed our Ikea cabinets, he did a great job and finished earlier than expected. We constantly get compliments on our kitchen and people cant believe that we bought them at Ikea. We were going to use the company that Ikea uses to do the installation, but decided to find our own contractor after reading all of the bad reviews and learning that they can only install cabinets. We needed someone who saw the big picture to help with electrical and plumbing as well as help picking material for the floors and back splash. read more

We renovated our kitchen and used this contractor. The Amish cabinets are beautiful and the installers are amazing!

I needed to convert our tub to a walk in shower for my disabled husband. After interviewing multiple contractors I chose D Saunders Contracting and was very pleased with the quality of work. The workers were amazing and made sure I was as comfortable as possible during the project. This was the first time we had a major project done in our home and I was very nervous, but the owner and lead carpenter were very good about answering all of my questions and explaining the process. read more

I bought a kitchen at Ikea and had Dave and his team install the cabinets, tile floors and a subway tile back splash. Everything went smooth, and took around 2 weeks to complete. We get so many complements on our new kitchen! read more

I hate to leave negative reviews, but want potential customers to be as informed as possible, especially since this may be a once in a lifetime project/expense for you. We hired Dave to renovate our kitchen, dining room, and playroom. It was a large job - over $60,000 (including labor and supplies) and involved removing exterior and interior walls. I was very happy with his crew. The workers paid attention to detail and worked incredibly hard. However, I was dissatisfied with Dave's project management and communication. The project took an amazing 8 months to complete. Despite the job size and Dave's promise that he would assign a large crew to us because we had the room to fit everyone, we only had one PART-TIME worker assigned to us for the majority of the project. He worked 6 hours/day for 4 days/week. One example of Dave's poor time management skills is that I gave him my siding choice in October and he did not order it until December despite me asking many times. Other preventable delays include ordering the wrong flooring and recessed lighting (yes we had to pay for delivery twice on the flooring). The appliances were delivered and sat in my basement for so long that our return period expired and we had to eat the cost of a damaged microwave. He did not review our online Ikea order or Ikea delivery (both of which I requested), which resulted in several return trips to Ikea and having to buy an incorrect cabinet (right size, wrong color) just to get the countertop template completed. The communication was terrible - he would say they would be out then not show up. He gave us an outrageously high price to replace our roof. Our roofer charged us half the price. At the end of the interior work phase, they just gave up - we still have pencil marks on our walls to mark electrical outlets and I was told there was not enough time to give me a new electrical outlet (during an 8 month project, mind you!). We were charged an extra $900 to vent our microwave to the outside, which we assumed would be the logical thing to do and included in the original project scope. Instead, they again took a short cut and vented it out the top, which resulted in an unsightly grease stain on the ceiling. I urge you to explore the many options out there! read more
