Dave Downing (D&E Construction) did a complete, stud-bare remodel of our San Clemente condo. We are thrilled with the results due to Dave’s knowledge and high standards. Our having done several remodels over the years, we found Dave to be the most professional and easy to work with. He inspires a level of comfort to the process and is always accommodating to design changes. Since we live out of state, we needed to find someone who we could totally trust and who is an excellent communicator. Dave proved to fit those criteria perfectly. He is honest & fair and provides excellent accounting of the costs with no surprises. Importantly, Dave works the site every day and is a problem solver due to his expertise, offering solutions to problems that come up. Dave and his subs were also very friendly and accommodating the neighbors, which helped mollify potential issues. It would be a pleasure to work with Dave again.

Dave Downing and his dad built our blufftop house dozens of years ago. The quality and reliability of his workmanship has compelled us to go back to him for every expansion and remodel since then. His uncommon trait among so many tradesmen is that he will show up when he says he will and do the work that he promised. I've learned to count on him. -- Peter Shikli, San Clemente 6/13/13
