David was great! He is very detailed, thorough and pleasant. I was updated on daily construction and progress which was important since I was out of town. He carries the high standard that DD Ford portrays.

We love our work. And enjoy nothing more than combining innovative solutions with rigorous attention to detail. So, providing the very finest standards of craftsmanship is second nature to us. Yet those high workshop and on-site standards are also matched by our commitment to bring you the finest and most comprehensive service.
From pre-construction right through to post-construction and home maintenance, we pride ourselves on remaining flexible and responsive to the needs to the needs of architects and clients throughout the life of a project. Yet perhaps you should look no further than our long list of appreciative clients - especially those who keep coming back for more.

Customer Feedback Summary
Published Comments
Communication, effort and end results. The reason why is that we got through the project with no frustrations or regrets and are very happy with the result.
Ryan does an exceptional job. In addition to knowing what he is doing, he is friendly, courteous and goes well above and beyond to be sure we are happy with the final product. We felt secure in our initial decision to work with D.D. Ford because of how Ryan presents himself.
I have to compliment Val Knezevic (sp?) who worked exceptinoally hard to come up with the budget proposal for our bathroom and future kitchen project. He went out of his way to communicate with us to clarify design points to get the budget right. He also offered clever thoughtful solutions to save us money. He is clearly a strong addition to the D.D. Ford team.
I was happiest with their attention to detail, the meetings, the communication and dialogue, the emails, and the care and genuine interest they displayed in the project.
Dave, Steve and Doug were always able to solve problems. The time frame was adhered to and the party was a huge success!! Would be happy to be a reference for them as we are extremely pleased with the finished product.
I'm not interested in talking to any other contractor about our projects, although there are small outfits that might save us some money- I'm not sure the savings would be enough to give up the follow-through that an organization like Ford has been able to provide.
On time and on Budget- period. Awesome bidding process response. Great leadership assigned to our project. Clean. Courteous. Knowledgeable.
I was most satisfied with the amount of pride the workers took in my project. It was almost as if my house were their own.
I would like to recognize the crew that worked on my house for their professionalism and great attitudes. The whole process was great.
Hard issues which had eluded a prior contractor were tackled very methodically and resolved much to my delight.I got to know Ryan Prahm, who represents all that is good about DD Ford - integrity personified - professional, personable, and commited.Hills Sutton, in addition to being a very nice person, is a master craftsman - all that he does, he does well.
The quality was exceptional. The staff is pleasant, trustworthy and extremely helpful. They are very responsive. We trust them to take quality care of our home. They do a great job.
Highly recommend this firm.
