DuKate Fine Remodeling

Our experience with them was excellent. To work with someone that professional these days is unusual. They are someone who communicates with you.They work with you and tell you what they are doing and what's going on with what they are doing. They are great, the do an excellent job and I would recommend them to friends and family. I felt like I could trust them and I was comfortable with them being here in my home.

DuKate Fine Remodeling

Professional and courteous are two words I would use to describe the personnel at Dukate Remodeling. High quality workmanship and pride in their craft seem to be hallmarks of the company. The contractors and subcontractors were friendly, clean and effecient. All of my concerns were addressed promptly and I was kept informed on the progress.

DuKate Fine Remodeling

My family is very pleased with the remodel just recenlty completed by DuKate. Originally, we were planning on an add on along with a remodel. After spending a lot of time with us, Mike guided us toward repurposing areas in our home...at a greatly reduced cost to us. We are very pleased with the results. The thing that most pleased us is Mike's integrity, compassion and honesty.

I have deep trust in Mike and his team. They do great work and are a pleasure to work with. They make the overall proces easy and stress free.

Comment Additional Comment Indianapolis, IN Dec 18, 2008

Their people were very proffesional, Mike followed up on everything. We couldn't be happier or more satisfied with what they did.

Comment Additional Comment Franklin, IN Dec 04, 2008

These days, most people expect that a remodeling project is going to be a headache and that there will be long delays, unkept promises, a mess and problems with the contractor. I had NONE of that with this project. Dukate is a fine business with a fine President and staff. It was a pleasure to work with them!

Comment Punchlist Franklin, IN Dec 04, 2008

They even made special provisions to have a contractor come on a Saturday to assist me in getting a head start on the painting!

Comment Trust Franklin, IN Dec 04, 2008

They are not only trustworthy of keeping commitments, but with the security of my home and private space. That was one of the main reasons I chose this company....because of their strong commitment to the customer.

Comment Additional Comment Franklin, IN Oct 06, 2008

They have done other work for us, and that's why we chose them again. We know that we can depend on them.

Comment Additional Comment Greenwood, IN Jan 26, 2007

I was very pleased with them. They were very professional and I was very happy with their work.

Comment Additional Comment Franklin, IN Jan 26, 2007

They are a blessing in disguise. They are just marvelous. I have told so many people about them. They are a little more expensive but for the quality of work that they do, it is worth it.

Comment Additional Comment Indianapolis, IN Jan 25, 2007

They are a sharp group of guys, they dress neatly, they don't curse, they are really nice guys, no vulgar language or loud rock music, they just come and do good work.

Comment Additional Comment Martinsville, IN Jan 18, 2007

I felt very comfortable with Dukate plans and the work that needed to be done. I also never had any questions regarding the workmanship. Thomas Wild

Comment Additional Comment Franklin, IN Jan 17, 2007

I am very happy with DuKate and if I need anything done I will go through this company.

Comment Additional Comment Greenwood, IN Jan 16, 2007

I was shocked how courteous they were. I was amazed - just couldn't believe it. They were so accommodating with my 94 old year mother. It was like they couldn't do enough for you. We're very happy with them.

Comment Additional Comment Indianapolis, IN Jan 16, 2007

We really enjoyed the space they created and it's beautifully done. I don't have much experience with other contractors, but with a job as complex as this, I don't know that it could've gone any more smoothly.

Comment Additional Comment Franklin, IN Jan 16, 2007

We were happy with our experience and would recommend them to people - and have (recommended them).

Comment Additional Comment Indianapolis, IN Jan 16, 2007

About GuildQuality and our Guildmembers

Homebuilders, remodelers, real estate developers and home services companies pay GuildQuality for customer surveying and performance reporting. We refer to these companies as GuildQuality Members, Guildmembers, or members.

Our service helps Guildmembers monitor customer satisfaction and -- if they choose to publish survey feedback on our public website at guildquality.com -- articulate the quality of their service for prospective customers.

All of the Guildmember information we publish at guildquality.com has been provided to us either by the member (such as pictures of work and biographical information) or by their customers via one of our surveys (customer comments, performance summaries, and reviews).

Surveys, Comments and Reviews

All of the customer feedback that we publish is derived from the customers we survey. Our Guildmembers provide us with their customers' contact information, we conduct the surveys, they receive the feedback, and -- if they have chosen to make their feedback public -- the member's performance report is automatically updated to reflect the response. Members may choose to publish a summary of either all of their feedback or their most recent twelve months of feedback.

In addition to average performance ratings and survey statistics, GuildQuality also publishes two types of customer commentary: Comments and Reviews.

A comment has been provided by a survey respondent in response to any one of the survey questions we ask, and a member may or may not choose to publish it. Often customers provide unsolicited testimonials or compliments, and members can choose to share these comments in their published performance report.

Many Guildmembers choose to participate in our formal review process. These members have added an additional question on their survey: "If you'd like to provide a public review of your experience working with the Guildmember, please share it here." In contrast to comments, which a member selects to have published, we publish all reviews, provided they are at least 30 words long. With each review, we include a one to five star rating provided by the survey respondent.
