Dragos completed my laminate flooring to a high standard and I am really happy with his work, the dull room has been totally transformed. After reading reviews, DP Quality Construction had the best of those that were in touch and I wasn't disappointed. Dragos took time to understand my job requirements, communication was good throughout the process and he arrived on the day and time agreed to complete the job at a reasonable price. Have no hesitation in recommending Dragos from DP Construction

James was hired to fit 5 internal doors. It took him 3 days, and the work was careless, lazy, and full of mistakes, excuses, lies and frustration. He blamed the doors, house, locks, anything but himself. I wasn't going to leave a review, but after he left I was able to fix —by myself— issues that he tried to gaslight me into believing it was the best possible outcome. I suspect his "27 years of experience" was made up, and the problem was nothing but absolute lack of skill, care and work ethic.

Really can’t fault Trojan, from the initial quote we felt comfortable that Nick understood what we needed. The initial quote escalated and nothing was too much trouble. We now have a home to be proud of and can’t thank Trojan enough for everything they have done.
