When the Sound of the Sea Property Owners Association began planning our 17-unit double-high deck replacement project, we knew we needed a contractor who could deliver exceptional quality while working within a very tight timeline before the busy rental season. Davies Contracting exceeded our expectations in every way.
Project Manager Darrell "Doc" York was outstanding from start to finish. He was professional, organized, and an excellent communicator, keeping our project coordinator, Barbara Pohlman, informed throughout every phase of construction. His responsiveness and transparency gave our Board confidence that the project was in capable hands.
One of the things that impressed us most was Davies Contracting's commitment to earning our trust.
They did not require a large upfront deposit, and they didn't submit their first invoice until approximately 85% of the work had been completed. That level of financial stability and confidence speaks volumes about the company and its integrity.
As with any major renovation project, a few unforeseen structural issues arose along the way. Rather than treating every adjustment as an opportunity for additional charges, Doc and his team worked
collaboratively with us to develop practical solutions. They offered valuable recommendations, focused on doing the job the right way, and never tried to nickel and dime our association for every minor change.
Special recognition also goes to crew leader “Tsunami”, whose workmanship and attention to detail were truly exceptional. He consistently went above and beyond, often taking care of additional items without
being asked and without adding unnecessary costs. His pride in his work was evident every day, and it showed in the quality of the finished product.
The entire Davies Contracting crew was equally impressive. They were courteous, respectful, hardworking, and always willing to accommodate our requests with a smile. They understood that they were working in an occupied community and conducted themselves professionally throughout the project.
What Davies Contracting accomplished was remarkable. They completed a tremendous amount of work in a very short period of time, finishing just beyond the original schedule even after several add-ons, and before our peak rental season, all without sacrificing craftsmanship or quality. The finished decks are a testament to their experience, attention to detail, and commitment to excellence. They are impressive!
On behalf of the Sound of the Sea Property Owners Association, we offer our highest recommendation to Darrell "Doc" York, crew leader Tsunami, and the entire Davies Contracting team. Their professionalism,
integrity, craftsmanship, and customer-focused approach made this project an outstanding success. We would confidently recommend Davies Contracting to any property owners association or anyone seeking a contractor capable of delivering complex projects on time, on budget, and with exceptional quality.
Thank you, Doc, Tsunami, and the entire Davies Contracting team, for a job exceptionally well done. It was a pleasure working with you.
