Testimonials

  • ~ Emmett Marsh

    “Dan rebuilt our house in 2018-19, after the Tubbs fire, and did an excellent job in a very challenging time for construction, with over 5,000 houses destroyed and unprecedented numbers starting to rebuild. Engineering and permits were frustratingly slow, subcontractors were very busy, and heavy winter rains posed challenges on our rural hillside property, but he got a complex job done and we were able to move in on our hoped-for schedule”

  • ~Odessa Gunn

    “We have been using Dan Boyle Construction for almost a decade now and I recommend them to all my friends. They're professional, honest and they do a fantastic job. My husband Levi and I are absolutely thrilled with our custom kitchen remodel. On top of their being able to do mostly anything I was blown away by their ability to truly hear our vision and make it a reality.”

  • ~ L.J.

    “We can't recommend Dan highly enough for any level of remodeling or construction you may be doing. Dan recently took our home to the studs and did a full remodel. We are absolutely delighted with the process and the results. Dan was always present at the job site and involved in every part of the work from construction of walls to every last finish detail. He managed all the subs well and kept everyone on schedule. Dan offered helpful advice on design and was there to problem solve if ever needed. Remodeling can be stressful - Dan mitigated that with his calm and efficient presence. We would absolutely want Dan to be our contractor for any and all projects!!!”

  • ~Cynthia Palmer, Realtor, Vanguard Properties

    “I couldn’t be happier to write a few words about Dan Boyle. His standards of excellence in his workmanship and his superior client relationship skills are stellar. He took a very homely 1960’s California “rancher” and transformed it with the aid of his incredible wife/designer, Lauren, into a true “wine country jewel box retreat.”
