Derek and his crew did a fantastic job! He remodeled our master bathroom and secondary bathroom, which while new, were builder grade. The price was competitive, the jobs started on time, and were overall finished within the planned timeframe. Care was taken to protect my home, and work areas were left clean. Derek gave suggestions, advice, and assistance to ensure a good outcome. He also obtained my input and gave me choices so that the results met my expectations. The tile installers he used provided expert craftsmanship in their work. A couple of glitches occurred, but were resolved promptly and efficiently. I'm satisfied with the results and would not hesitate to use DGOC again. Highly recommended. read more

Derek and DGOC were great throughout the entire process in our small bathroom remodel. There was some construction with walls and ceilings being moved as well as a pocket door being installed which really opened up the space, but they made sure the rest of the house wasn't impacted. Derek took his time in listening to what my Wife and I were looking for and made the dream into a reality. He even went shopping with her to make sure we had a say in the look and materials being chosen. He was on site most mornings making sure the crew knew what needed to be done. I have heard horror stories in GC's disappearing after the project starts, but it was the opposite with Derek. Pricing was also upfront so there were no surprises. His team were punctual and very professional and really took their time to get it right. They didn't guess on what we wanted and included us in all relevant conversations and decisions. We are more than happy with the result and friends and family have joined us in being blown away by the result. What a difference! Thanks DGOC, you will definitely be hearing from us again! read more

We had an unexpected emergency in our kitchen that required removal of our granite countertops and we replaced it with quartz, and Derek and DGOC were amazing. They responded quickly, completed the job efficiently, and the results are fantastic! Derek was not only professional and helpful throughout the entire process, but his background as a designer made a huge difference -- he helped us pick out materials that perfectly fit our space. We are so happy with how everything turned out and highly recommend Derek for any project! read more

Derek and his employees did a beautiful job on our staircase. Derek was upfront with cost as compared to others I kept running into with " hidden " fees. But most importantly; they were efficient and completed the job quickly. We are in love with our staircase and would recommend. read more

I have been a commercial real estate broker with a national brokerage firm for over 32 years and have worked with people involved in every facet of the real estate business. When it comes to professionalism and dedication, I have met very few people who have impressed me as much as Derek Gebo, the owner of DGOC Design and Build Construction. I highly recommend DGOC Design and Build Construction to anyone in search of a professional contractor. read more

We had a large upstairs bathroom remodeled with Derek & his crew. It was pretty smooth start to finish...Derek had really great ideas for the remodel and helped us choose the design/colors based on the things we said we wanted. The guys showed up on time & were all very nice. They always confirmed the plan of action for the day despite my dogs barking at them when they talked to me. We had a slight issue midway through & they fixed it without hesitation. We will definitely use DGOC in the future. read more

FIVE STARS - Excellent Job performed by Derek with DGOC Design & Build Construction. Derek and his professional team, completed our kitchen remodel that was designed out perfectly and executed within the timeline provided. Derek brought to our kitchen, a beautifully constructed pantry, as well a complete remodel including cabinets, granite, flooring and recessed lighting. The team were professional and worked endless hours to complete the project. One year later, our upstairs guest bathroom was a complete remodel by Derek with DGOC. Our bathroom was a boring 1980 bathroom; however, Derek designed an updated and modern bathroom for our guests. Including recessed lighting and polished brass fixtures. His final touches created a relaxing atmosphere. Two years later, Derek with DGOC, did a complete remodel for our master bathroom. He opened up walls to create a larger space that included a full size tub and a separate shower. It is amazing how he was able to create the space to make the master bathroom a complete success! We have extensive experience with Derek for 3 separate major projects and each time, the project was handled by professional workers and was completed on time. Derek was at the project each day to provide updates. We highly recommend giving Derek the opportunity to provide a quote and complete your project. read more

Agree with the other review Very unprofessional. Took off without saying anything DURING an ongoing quote. Waste of my time. Update: since he wanted to justify his actions! Not going to sound good for his business again. The reason there was another contractor at the same time? He came late and then needed to take several trips back to his car to get a flash light and measuring tape. Really? Very professional right? Came in a Mini Cooper without ladder or anything. Sure sounds professional for a contractor. I was wondering how he would get up to the attic for another needed repair/quote. Taking up his time? He just started working on a task that would at least take him 10 minutes. He was gone within 2 minutes. Shoddy repairs?? Maybe his work. I ask him for repairs and as to what QUALITY material that is up to me. Who is he to say what material I use for my properties? He would be the one giving me the option. Btw, we didn't even get to that point actually. Homes in disrepair? One of the so called disrepaired homes was just inspected by a licensed professional as we are selling and the repair bill came out to be under $1,000. That's for a 3,300 sqft property. The other one he saw just needed cosmetic repairs. Guess he wanted me to use top level material for a rental unit. That again shows he is not a professional in this field unable to determine/meet the clients' needs. From the response I am read more

I spoke with 5 or 6 different companies before chosing DGOC to remodel my kitchen. I'm so glad I made the this decision, because the experience I had working with Derek and his crew was top-notch. Derek was extremely easy to work with and really kept me involved in the kitchen design process. Pricing and job time line was extremely reasonable for this type of craftsmanship. Derek was on-site regularly and the DGOC crew was prompt, respectful, and took their time to do the job right. I did opt for a few upgrades along the way (in-cabinet lighting, crown molding, counter top lights) that really gave the space a custom look and feel. I was so happy with the result, I had Derek redo my fireplace while his guys were on-site. Overall, I couldn't be happier with DGOC and the finished product. I highly recommend them for your remodeling needs and look forward to using DGOC later this year to do my bathrooms. Great work Derek and crew!! read more

Hiring a new GC is always a roll of the dice it seems. We had an old kitchen that was actually crumbling and it was time to pull the trigger for a remodel. Out of all the GCs we interviewed, we decided to go with Derek. He was not the cheapest but we are so happy with the finished result but also, the experience. He was always on time, his crew was always on time and very communicative. Most importantly, the crew who was in our house day in and day out for months were lovely people. Everyone was very considerate and just warm, hard working people. We have recommended Derek to many of our neighbors and friends. DGOC is worth every extra penny than your cheapest bid. read more

In 2021 we hired DGOC to do quite a bit of work in upgrading our home. In recent months we discovered substantial water damage due to a roof leak. We're working with a home insurance company who sent out their recommended contractor for a quote. It seemed outrageously expensive, so I called DGOC to get a back-up quote. Derek came out to look at the job, and informed us that the original quote from the other contractor was a fair deal. I really appreciated the fact that he took the time to come out to look at the job and reassure us that the other contractor was a fair price rather than try to steal the business. DGOC definitely is a stand up company. Thanks again Derek!! read more

We recently completed an extensive kitchen remodel with DGOC. Derek was on top of every aspect of our project from start to finish. He and his team were all very professional, reliable, talented, prompt and remarkably personable. Our kitchen turned out beautifully! With Derek's work ethic, eye for detail, "can do" attitude to keep things running smoothly and hands on style with his whole crew, he basically gave us a whole new kitchen, bigger and better!!! I highly recommend DGOC. read more

I started out looking to complete some exterior work on the house (deck, windows, and paint) and unfortunately ended up with a slab leak prior to starting this work. After meeting with a few contractors and due to the age of the home (1998) I made the decision to repipe which included tile removal work to the master bathroom shower. Derek had some great design ideas to upgrade the master bath and the rest of the bathrooms in the home and other areas inside of the home to enhance them. I chose to go with DGOC to complete the work and have found Derek and his team to be highly skilled in various areas, dedicated, committed, and hardworking! Derek is on site at minimum once per day, but more like at least twice per day which unlike most contractors. In the last 3 months DGOC has completed a repipe of the home, remodeled the master bathroom, powder bath, and guest bathroom. Additionally, with some of the design concepts that Derek presented for the fireplace and TV cabinet area downstairs they have upgraded these along with replacing the cabinets in the laundry room, tile, and paint. All have turned out amazing! Derek and his team are getting ready to complete the exterior work, which I will report back on once this phase is completed. As well we are reviewing plans to remodel the kitchen once the exterior is complete. As I am sure you can tell from the work that Derek and his team at DGOC have completed I highly recommend them from their design concepts to completing the work. read more

DGOC remodeled the kitchen in my 1965-built house. After that, I had them do a limited remodel of the dining room and living room. The work was done successfully, results were quite good and I would hire them again. They are not cheap (nor the most expensive), but the did very high quality work, used very good suppliers and managed the project quite well. A much better experience than I've had with some low bid contractors. I wish I could give them 4.5 stars. 5 stars, to me, is perfection, which is extremely rare and I've never given. The kitchen was a complete remodel. Derek, the owner, did a new layout that my wife and I approved. DCOG removed/replaced the cabinets, counter tops, appliances, windows and drywall. I expected surprises in a nearly 60 year old house. Once the drywall was removed we needed to completely replace the worn plumbing and underpowered electrical wiring (adding 3 new circuits). Further, there were 12 extra inches of space discovered behind the pantry that the builder left unused. So, we worked with Derek to change the layout creating a walk-in pantry in place of the original. There were issues with the plumbing due to new code requirements. They just figured out a solution and it was done without drama, which happened at every surprise. The result is a beautiful kitchen, more usable thanks to the new layout. We now have better electricals (enough power), better lighting, better sink/plumbing. Derek manages all his projects personally. He was typically at our house once every day to check on issues that showed up and progress. I received daily texts with status. We never had a period of weeks with no one working on our house until some milestone payment was coming due, as I've had with other contractors. When he requested a milestone payment, the work was already complete. We had people working on our house most every day of the job, with a text message and reason if there was no work. His workers (generally employees), were knowledgeable in their field and the quality of work was very good. In fact, during one of the inspections (after Derek had left), the city inspector gave high praise to the plumbing and electrical work. They left the work area clean every day. After the kitchen was done, the living room/dining room received new carpeting, new ceiling lights and fresh paint. Again, the work was well done and the outcome is quite good. read more

My house is 70 years old & really needed to be updated. This was a scary process for me. I've never been able to afford to hire anyone to do any kind of remodeling & was scared of stories from family & friends who have been ripped off having any work done on their houses. I was really impressed with the ideas Dereck had for my bathrooms & especially for my kitchen which made no sense. He took me shopping to pick out materials & with his knowledge & expertise guided me with my choices for tile, flooring, fixtures, etc. I love all of the men who did the work. They know what they are doing & were really meticulous making sure that everything was done to perfection & they cleaned up after themselves everyday. This has been a very long process because of course they ran into problems with some of the plumbing & then had to repipe the house because there was no water pressure. The bathrooms & kitchen have all been totally gutted & redesigned. I love the way it's all turned out & so glad I went through all this construction including the frustration at times LOL.It was totally worth it. read more

Very unprofessional. Spoke to Derek about a bathroom remodel and because I couldn't schedule a meet up when it was convenient for him he hung up on me! Bad way to conduct business read more

Usually I'm leery of the highest bid.But once I factored in the incredible design ideas I knew it was going to be worth it..And it was worth every penny. Materials, craftsmanship,design, crew, everything is top notch. I will definitely hire DGOC again.. read more

I am so pleased with the bathroom remodel work completed by Derek and the DGOC crew. The design and construction exceeded my expectations (and I'm very particular when it comes to design, detail and finishing work). Derek (the owner) was great at explaining every step of the remodel and visited the job site every day to check on the work. He kept in touch with me frequently and always responded promptly to my calls and texts (even on weekends and evenings). His entire crew arrived on time and were courteous and respectful and at the end of the job they left my garage cleaner than before they started. I will definitely work with DGOC again on future construction projects for my home! read more

Although I am not an actual customer I did witness this company do a build at my neighbor's house across the street on Lyon Ridge in Aliso Viejo. I am a contractor as well and I have to say that this company is very professional. They were easy to work around, very courteous and friendly, and extremely thorough. I highly recommend them. read more

A great job!! Derek Gebo - DGOC Construction has a team of amazing craftsmen. They all work well together and their artistry came together beautifully. I had my kitchen and bathroom remodeled and I am so pleased with their work. Derek is a great delegator and all work was done professionally in a timely matter. I would highly recommend Derek if you need any kind of work done to your home. read more

Our shower pan wore out. So those of you who have experienced this know that pretty much means a new shower. Anyway, we got 3 bids and settled on Derek Gebo from DGOC Construction. His company helped with design options, made suggestions and even fixture assistance. We couldn't be more pleased. The workmanship was exceptional and the project went as smooth as it could have. Very Pleased. Everything promised was delivered! read more

We Needed a facelift for our home. Derek came and gave an estimate right away. Kitchen Remodel with new cabinets, Bathroom Remodel with Cabinets, Floor replaced in whole house. He quoted 4-5 weeks. We then Went Shopping with him for the cabinets, stone for counter, Tile and Floor. Very helpful to find what we wanted quickly. He had people here every day working, they were respectful and had good work ethic. Cleaned up each day quite well. They finished a few days early and we could not be happier with the results. read more

We have worked with Derek & his team in the past on 3 bathrooms and a mud room remodel. I appreciate his keen eye for design, quality work and professionalism. He and his crew are extremely responsive. Recently we had a plumbing mishap and when I called Derek for help, he did not hesitate. His team repaired the damage and I took the opportunity to spruce up our bedrooms with gorgeous new closet doors that Derek designed, while they were doing repair work in the house. I have recommended him to friends and will do so again. read more

After interviewing multiple designers for a bathroom and kitchen remodel, I settled on DGOC and I could not be happier with my decision. From the beginning, when asking for suggestions, DGOC was up front and honest about design possibilities and limitations, as well as what I could expect in related costs. DGOC was professional in every aspect of the project, and I never felt concerned or uneasy when allowing them access to my home. One aspect that really stood out was that Derek was on site every day - from friends who have had remodels, this is nearly unheard of. There were times when we did not see eye-to-eye on certain ideas, however I always felt I could speak my mind and felt certain that I could also depend on the advice that may have been driving any differences. My initial bathroom and kitchen remodel evolved into a full downstairs remodel. This was based solely on the design and aesthetic differences I saw taking place in front of my eyes. I was so pleased with each phase that the addition of hallway cabinetry, flooring, recessed lighting, and a fully remodeled laundry room each seemed to be the logical next step for transforming my house into a home I am proud to not only come home to every day but one where I look forward to entertaining in. I couldn't recommend DGOC highly enough for those looking for a contractor/designer to come in with modern ideas that incorporate practicality and a willingness to work within one's budgetary constraints.

After getting a number of bids, I selected DGOC Construction to remodel our dining room, living room, and to expand and remodel our kitchen. The contractor, Derek Gebo, not only oversaw the project from beginning to end, but also helped us design the complete layout, went with us to assist in picking out materials, and guided us in choosing numerous paint colors. Each of the construction teams were highly specialized in their particular area (electrical, plumbing, framing, cabinets, flooring, windows, painting, etc.) and Derek and the teams were professional, considerate, and worked very well together. When the delivery of our new refrigerator was delayed about a month after the remodel was completed, Derek and Miguel came right over to help hook up the water line and ice maker. The job was completed on time and for the agreed upon price. I would highly recommend Derek and his team for any construction needs you have. read more

DGOC found and installed my new dishwasher. Derek delivered prompt and professional service. His guys were on top of the task and I can highlight recommend this company. I am looking forward to working them on my future remodeling projects! read more

Several months ago Derek and his crew built an ADA approved bathroom for me. I wrote a very happy review at the time . Well, I was so pleased with the excellent work that was done, I hired him again. This time he did the other bathrooms. He and his crew are on time, clean before they leave for the day, and, most importantly, are so pleasant to have them working here. Obviously, I highly recommend this co pany. read more

I used the Yelp feature to find a contractor that could help us with our bathrooms. Derek (DGOC) was one of many the responded. Out of all the contractors that responded, he was the only one who took the time to educate us before we even signed with him. This was our first experience with remodeling, so we really didn't know much. Luckily, Derek also has a background in design and real estate which proved to be beyond valuable! One bathroom was demolished down to the studs, and the other was a partial renovation. Both came out beautifully! Derek's staff were also friendly and engaging. read more
