Tom and his crew did a fantastic job replacing our mini split a/c system. He's very knowledgeable, made thoughtful recommendations, and communication was great throughout the process. The new installation and system look and work great. It's such a gem finding good, honest contractors. read more

I wish all service providers treated its customers like this business does! The level of professionalism, communication and attention to detail is exceptional. In the mountains it can be hard to find a skilled service provider who shows up on time, knows what he/she is doing and follows through. Tom Danielsen exceeded my expectations. Hands down, I will continue to give him my business. read more

Fast, friendly, knowledgeable service. Quick diagnosis of low refrigerant. Tom and Jose had the proper equipment, recharged the refrigerant to specs, gave me useful pointers, and about a half hour later, voila, cool air again! Yay! read more

Tom took the time to inform and educate me about heat pump technology. It was part of his bidding process: making sure he had the right solution for me and I understood the benefits I could expect from that system and from him as an installer. Believe me, he delivered. My new heat pump system is pure comfort, even heating and cooling throughout the house. Unlike conventional forced air, the heat pump system maintains a set temperature throughout the house, with little or no variation among the rooms, and no swings in temperature. I've never experienced comfort like this, and I like it. When Tom and I met to discuss converting my HVAC system to heat pump, he talked about how good his relationship is with Fujitsu, his heat pump supplier. He told me it had taken him years to build that relationship. He also gave me examples of Fujitsu's response times when parts were needed to get customer heating/cooling systems back up and running. We're talking hours with short ship times, not days and weeks. I knew from this story alone that I was going to work with Tom. He sees the big picture. He understands that delivering the highest quality install to a customer requires high quality in the supply chain, good employees, good suppliers and well-oiled communications. But that's not all. What Tom put together for me was an experience in indoor comfort that I had never felt before: quiet, efficient and even heating and cooling throughout the house. He knit all the pieces together to deliver that experience. I couldn't be happier. Greg Jacobus Murphys, CA read more

We had mini-splits installed in our house and are so happy with the results. The units work well, especially in our house where different zones of the house have different heating / cooling needs. We can also turn them on remotely which is awesome. Tom has been wonderful about answering all of our questions and even coming out to service the units a year after installation. Communication has been fast and simple and we're so happy with the service provided! read more

We recently purchased a large, two-story home in Angels Camp. The existing HVAC system was old and inefficient. It was expensive to try and heat or cool our square footage; and the system was so inefficient that the temperature could not be controlled in many of the outer reaches of the house. We obtained several bids before selecting Tom Danielsen and crew to replace our whole house system. We chose Tom because he was able to properly evaluate the manner in which our current system was failing. He measured air flow in each room, and his team corrected ductwork that was improperly positioned; resulting in an HVAC system that is both efficient and cost-effective. Our new system is actually a smaller unit (using less energy) than was proposed by other companies; yet it works wonderfully. Our new HVAC system is entirely electric; so no expensive propane bills. We liked Tom's work so well; we also installed a new heat pump water heater. (to replace an old propane model). read more

Oh my gosh. I cannot say enough about Danielsen Construction. From the amazing knowledge and efficiency that Tom, the owner, possesses to his amazing crew of guys who are so nice and so respectful of our space - there is no comparison. At the end of each day everything was always cleaned up and didn't feel like a "construction zone" (as much as possible). It was awesome. We have always dreamed of turning our garage in to an Airbnb and let me just say.. we couldn't have dreamed of having such an amazing space so beautifully done. The construction was done quickly and I learned so many new things about how to make the living space an efficient powerhouse. I am constantly in awe of how beautiful the space is and I'm so happy we chose Danielsen construction to take on our project! Thank you Danielsen construction! We may just move in to the Airbnb and rent out the main house instead read more

Tom and his team did an extremely challenging job on my two level home in Forest Meadows. We have a lot of sun, and in particular my top floor was unbearably hot. My old AC couldn't do it, and when it started failing in various areas, Tom came in and designed an amazing system for us. Two independent systems with new ducts, both driven by super efficient inverter heat pumps, and a lot of detail work in balancing airflow to each room. Now, my house is always comfortable. No matter the heat we experience outside. Also the nature of the heat pump system makes for a constant and totally unnoticeable mixing of air, I never hear or feel the system. I just have comfortable temperature. Plus the projects was done as planned. Perfect quality. Friendly. Reliable. I couldn't be happier. read more

So I initially reached out to Tom with energy efficiency questions about 8 months ago regarding our home we had bought. He was great about answering all questions I emailed him. Then last week I reached out to him again regarding an estimate for a more efficient HVAC system. Today he arrived with Jose, they looked in the attic and he used a computer system inputting measurements of every room. This system allows him to calculate the size of system that's perfect for this home. He advised that our current size unit is to big, which shows why having him check everything is so valuable. I really appreciate his knowledge, and taking the time he did to explain the importance of sizing it right. I should be hearing back shortly on the estimate. Just wanted to say I appreciate his effort from my first contact with him to having him coming out and seeing how thorough he was. Also another thing is we live outside of his service area but Tom was nice enough and said he was willing to come look at our home. If your looking for someone, he will answer all your questions, and I think you'll be very happy you called him out! read more

I trust yelp.com reviews to point me in the right direction when I'm looking for services or products. This is how I found Tom Danielson and yelp did not disappoint. Neither did Tom. I bought a condo in Forest Meadows and it needed a lot of work. Tom and I hit it off immediately, Tom being the friendly sort. We did some structural work to begin with then I had Tom completely replace the kitchen and put new flooring throughout the main level. Tom brought in Arturo Orozco to do the tile work and Arturo is an artist. He laid porcelain tile floors, tiled the stairways, did the countertops and backsplash. The final product is perfect. My wife and I watch too many home renovation shows and I was expecting the dramatic 'something terrible' to pop up at any time but, to my wonder, it never happened. Everything happened just as Tom said it would. And I can't give a better recommendation than that. Michael Hayes read more

We thought we needed help with one air conditioner, but Tom told us there was no problem, then took the initiative to find a near term failure in another A/C unit. Fast, friendly, helpful, honest! read more

Wow... where do I start. We are planning a roof replacement at our home in San Andreas. We have a roof mounted combination furnace/air conditioner unit and the heater portion was not working. so, since we were having the roof replaced, we thought that this is the time to replace the furnace. We had a few companies lined up to give us bids for this work and Tom was one of the contractor's that I called. He came out and asked, why did we want this unit replaced and I told him the furnace does not work very efficiently. Well on day that he came to give us an estimate, he walked through the house, climbed the roof and starting taking off the covers of the unit to check it out. He went up and down a few times carrying equipment and meters and what not... then said to me that why replace when you could fix this unit! he spent almost 2 hours at our house and didn't want any money! We got bids between $8,000 and $11,000 to replace the unit and modify and seal our duct work. Tom fixed our furnace for $800. He said that he would rather see us tighten up the house we got with better insulation, seal the ductwork and a solar system than spend it on the furnace. How many contractors do that? He recommended roofers and solar system contractor for us. The roofer was one of the lowest bidders and the solar guy is coming out next week. Tom is honest, very knowledgeable, and trusted. How many contractors can you say this about? He not only knows his stuff, I truly believe he cares. Energy efficiency is more important than making the money on a contract job. He will be my go-to guy when we work on our other house. Call Tom first, you won't regret it! read more

It all started with Tom Danielson providing a thorough and detailed plan and estimate of the perfect customized HVAC system for my funky but well-loved house built around 1880. The work started and finished right on time. Everyone was professional, good-natured and wore masks. My house was clean at the end of every day during the installation. Best of all, the heating is the best I've ever had. It's quiet and clean and so comfortable and easy. I'm so happy with the work and the end product. read more

Tom is a great guy, dependable, honest and does high quality work. I discovered sever problems with the deck on my house in Angles Camp. As its a summer home i really didn't know who to call---some friends recommended "handyman" types and thankfully they told me to get a real contractor since it wasn't a job they could take on and do--Danielsen Const was recommended to me and Tom came to my house, did the investigation and ultimately the work. What impressed me--this was not an easy fix and included a problem with a stone wall supporting the front of the deck--he was able to save it--i know a lot of guys would have preferred to tear down and start over--he spent the time thinking creatively of ways to save it and came up with a workable solution. Pricing was fair and on budget. My kind of guy. read more

Excellent service. He did some repairs on a threshold that had water damage. He was quick to respond to requests. He and his work crew worked diligently and quickly to get the job done and their work was of excellent quality. The prices were reasonable and the crew was very professional. We will definitely call them again. We highly recommend this company. read more

I recently had my deck collapse after the heavy winter snow. Tom and his crew did a great job replacing it making it look better and built it stronger with extra beams and reinforcement. Excellent workmanship and sharp attention to detail. Tom is on top of the work schedule and his crew are a pleasure to have around. I would highly recommend him and his team. read more

Tom is a true gem. If you are lucky enough to work with Tom on a project you will find an extremely talented builder, engineer and construction manager. Tom is honest, trustworthy and operates with very high integrity. He is dedicated to his craft and delivers above expectations. In my 20 years of home ownership you come across very few people with that unique combination of talent, and management. Tom communicates clearly, friendly and has always exceeded my expectations. Thank you Tom, We are so fortunate to have found you and your team. read more

Tom and his crew did some foundation drainage work for us. They were hard working and paid very close attention to detail. Pricing was fair. I'd definitely recommend him and his crew anytime. Top notch. read more

Tom Danielsen did some heating/AC and weatherization work at my mother in law's house in 2011. This was through a county sponsored low income program. She was pleased at the time. Professional work, they were quick, and cleaned up after themselves. You never think of the good job they do when things are running smoothly. Well last week my mother in law's AC went out. After nearly a year we weren't sure who to call. After a call to the county agency, we received a call back from Tom who stopped by SAME DAY to address the issue. Turns out fan motor and/or capacitor were bad. Tome took the unit and returned in 2 days to fix the problem. We were very pleased with the follow-up we received from Tom. He also did some compressor clean-up to improve performance while he was there. All under warranty. Excellent customer service. Even though he is not in our neighborhood, we will still consider him for future projects. I'm not much of a Yelper, but I wanted to take the opportunity to say "Thanks." read more

We got two prices for installing mini-splits at our cabin in Hathaway Pines. Tom's price was a bit higher than the other one, but I was impressed with Tom's knowledge of energy efficient systems and that he is licensed and skilled in handling remodel work in addition to his HVAC license. Tom understood that we were looking for both efficiency and an installation that would match the existing high-quality of our remodeled cabin. We are so glad that we selected Danielson Construction. They did not disappoint! Tom and his crew did a first-rate job installing wall-mounted, floor-mounted and ceiling-mounted cassettes throughout the two-story, modern, A-Frame. The finish work throughout looks seamless. The crew were great to work, finished the project in the time frame promised, and did a careful cleaning when they were done. I have worked in the trades for decades and recognize talent and craftsmanship when I see it. We love our new AC/Heat system and look forward to working with Tom for some future remodel work. read more

This review might not sound real at first, but once you see the episode of Hotel Hell on Fox involving Murphys Historic Hotel, then you might become a believer. As the production designer for Hotel Hell, I am selective in who I like to hire because I know that there is a high level of quality expected from Chef Gordon Ramsey. I did my research around the local area of Murphys and found Tom Danielsen Construction. He runs a professional company that has the manpower to do the job and the attitude to make it simple and fun for everyone! I was impressed by the work ethic of his entire crew and really enjoyed working him. I hope that this review is helpful to anyone looking for a great contractor in the area. read more

Tom and his crew remodeled our cabin in Blue Lake Springs site unseen. We met him once, showed him what we wanted and gave him the keys. He took care of everything and got additional quotes for painting the outside, inside cabinets and staining the deck. He also put me in touch with a local vendor who upholsters chairs and got all of those done. I highly recommend and trust Tom and his crew. read more

My wife and I are very pleased with the work Tom and his men did on our home. They reconfigured our inefficient duct work, blew in new insulation for a higher R rating and installed a new Heat Pump for a lower overall energy bill. Now our home is comfortable through out, and our energy usauge is much more efficient. I would recommend Tom Daniesen and his competent crew to do an evaluation of your home and to make it more comfortable and energy efficient. The clean up was fantastic and follow up was right on. We are very happy with the upgrade. read more

I can't say enough about the responsiveness and quality of Tom and his crew. We had a 150' pine tree fall on our home in Blue Lake Springs and I called several contractors to get help with the initial tree removal and clean up. Tom was the first to respond and and was out to the site the next morning. He gave me a professional and honest assessment and helped me understand what I could expect from the insurance company. He changed his crew's workload around so he could get his tree specialists out the next day. Alejandro and his partner took care of the 30' section of tree still on the roof and cleaned up the remaining 100' feet of downed tree in just one day. Other than the damage to the roof, the property was back to normal. Thanks Tom and Alejandro for your responsiveness and quality work. I would hire again and would strongly recommend to others. read more

Wanted very much to hire this guy. Great ideas and enthusiasm. But he refused to alter his contract that had requested a minimal hold-out on payment for inspections/punch list. Had to pass. read more

Tom was the contractor for the recent remodel on my house and he is so great! He and his crew did such a great job on everything, and he was always friendly, open, and honest, with great recommendations on details I hadn't even thought about. He gave us a reasonable timeline and was done right on time. My house looks beautiful and functions so well now! Thanks Tom! read more

I called for an estimate for a new deck. Although, they don't work in the Pioneer area he was kind enough to promptly send me a message stating so. The best Customer Service I have had without doing business with them..... read more

I was lucky enough to meet Tom Danielsen through the PG&E Home Upgrade Program that included a generous rebate. Tom was one of the recommended contractors for the program. My heating and air conditioning system was 27 years old. The duct system was in very poor condition. Tom designed a system that was perfect for our house. He explained that our old unit was over-sized for our house. He showed me the design that he was doing on his computer that would improve airflow, energy efficiency, and save us money. Did I mention that I can program my thermostat on line? Tom is a Pro. His staff is hard working and very conscientious. Tom took care of all the paperwork for the rebate program - again saving me a lot of money. I enjoyed the conversations that we had as Tom was designing our system. He is very passionate about the work that he does - building systems that are not only good for the homeowner, but for the planet too! read more

Tom and his team did some work on a vacation cottage that my husband and I purchased last year. What could have been an incredibly stressful experience for so many reasons (remodeling in general is of course stressful, but we were managing the project from 120 miles away!) turned out to be as easy as could possibly be! We had Danielsen Construction paint all of our kitchen cabinets, install all new kitchen appliances, install 2 new exterior doors, refinish the front deck, rip out old carpeting and install laminate throughout the kitchen/dining room/living room, install plumbing fixtures in 3 bathroom sinks and 1 kitchen sink, and even repair the non-functioning fireplace and A/C units. When he promised he'd be done in 2 weeks, we weren't sure what to believe, as we had lived through a remodel of our primary residence that took 2 months longer than promised to complete. When Tom actually DELIVERED on his promise (actually finished in less than 2 weeks!) we were floored. To boot, it was extremely high quality work and we couldn't be happier with it. For my husband and me, Tom has now set the bar so high for contractors that we are now scared to undertake another remodel of our primary residence! It's too bad we live so far from him, or we'd definitely have him do that job. We cannot recommend Tom highly enough. read more

We recently had Tom re-work the heating and add air conditioning to our cabin in Blue Lake Springs. The old system was heating only and it left the upstairs really, really cold in the winter (there was very little air coming through the registers) and without air conditioning it was extremely hot both upstairs and downstairs in the summer. Tom did an incredible job; he is a true professional. He installed a dual zone system with Wi-Fi thermostats both upstairs and downstairs. Being Wi-Fi thermostats I am able to control the temperatures from my regular home in Palo Alto - very useful; I can set the temperature when I am travelling there, and I can set it to heat when it is very cold to prevent freezing in the cabin. In addition Tom left the place as he found it - clean! I have nothing but praise for Tom and his team; he really knows everything there is to know about heating and AC systems, and he has the equipment to prove it. read more

This is a great company for anyone wishing to improve the energy efficiency and comfort of their home. Right from the start my wife & I were impressed by Tom Danielsen's easy manner, technical knowledge and willingness to explain how an energy audit is performed; different methods to improve efficiency . During the energy audit Tom & Bill were meticulous to make sure all of the measurements were accurate and complete. We especially appreciated how careful they were not to dirty or damage any of the walls and floors in the house. After compiling a report of the audit results Tom presented a list of options of upgrades that would provide different levels of improvement depending on the scope of work and costs. There was no "hard sell" to do the most expensive work. We decided that a new properly sized furnace, air sealing the attic, insulating the knee walls and R-50 insulation in the attic were are best choices. The quality of work and courteousness of the work crews, led by Tom Danielsen were outstanding. They were always on time, extremely careful to cover & protect our home furnishings, and always cleaned up after each day's work we have never worked with another crew that cleaned up they way this crew did.. They didn't take shortcuts and always took care of the small details. They completed the work right on schedule. We can't praise them enough for their helpfulness & efficiency. We are very happy with all of the results and highly recommend Danielsen Construction and Energy Management. Our home is now comfortable and using less than half the energy. read more

I hired Tom Danielsen to build a trellis and lay some flagstone to create an outside living space. At his suggestion, we were able to incorporate solar panels and improve greatly on our initial idea. Tom gave our little project a lot of thought and because of his efforts we ended up with a much better product at a very fair price. Thanks Tom! read more

Our home in Forest Meadows was frequently uncomfortable warm on the 2nd floor in the summer. We contracted with Danielsen Constuction to solve the problem by removing the old insulation in the attic, sealing the ceiling to prevent leaks,adding a 2nd air conditioning system to the 2nd floor, and putting in fresh insulation. Tom and his team did a great job! They were very professional and friendly, very clean (hardly any mess at all!),and got the work done on time and budget. We are very pleased with the new AC and insulation. Thanks Tom! Five star job! read more

I had great expections but they were all exceeded. Tom and his crew were thorough, courteous and very effective. My heating and air system was installed in 2011 and that contractor said "the ducts were checked and didn't leak." Tom did a duct test and found 33% leakage. He redesigned and reinstalled the ducting, caulked my tongue and groove ceiling (a clear caulk you can't see), found my bathroom exhaust fan wasn't vented to the outside & fixed that, insulated my attic to R50 and now I can actually use the heating and cooling to make my house comfortable and not cost me an arm & a leg. Two nights ago it was 70 deg. at 9:30 pm and at 5:00 am next morning it was 67 degrees and 42 degrees outside. The heater was turned off overnight but the house stayed warm. Tom did a blower door test to see how leaky my house was and after the work he did, the air leakage was reduced by 40%. That's excellent! I have no desire to heat and cool the great outdoors. Tom and his crew listened to any questions or concerns I had and addressed them all. Their work ethic and quality is the best. There are so many horror stories about contactors that never show up, do lousy work, are dirty or trash your house, etc. but if all the contractors were like these guys, there would be no stories to tell. Thank you Tom, Carlos, Umberto and Alejandro. You all are the best! J Skeels Soulsbyville read more
