Our Thumbtack Reviews!
Verified I had a great experience with Drat Construction LLC. Gene and Stephen did an excellent job replacing two doors for me. They were professional, efficient, and the quality of their work was top-notch. Both were respectful of my home, ensuring everything was clean and tidy once the job was completed. I highly recommend them for any construction or home improvement needs. Luke W.2024-09-22Verified Gene and his son, Steven, get the job done! We frequently added new projects and they fit them into their schedule. They always showed up on time... every day. We will definitely use them for ANY future projects! Cindy D.2024-05-03Verified I had DRAT come out for a quote. They were quick, communicative, and honest. I didn’t end up using them but I wish I had because when the guy I hired didn’t show up, DRAT was right there to help out. They were willing to come out right away and help finish the project that was started by someone else. Just based on the communication and professionalism alone, I would recommend them for your next project. Eric L.2024-04-17Verified Not to be over dramatic, but Gene and Steven of Drat Construction saved our home, and quite possibly our family. Our 35 year old home, in which we have lived for 10 years, had serious structural problems in the attic. Basically the lack of support was threatening to drop the roof on us, and we didn’t know until a swatch of a closet ceiling was punched out during a wind gust. We looked up there, and thought a board or two definitely needed attention soon. Yet, divine intervention, intuition, sixth sense, whatever you want to call it, prompted me to send a request for help through Thumbtack the next morning. Gene called almost immediately. He took the situation seriously and arranged to head right over to our house. From there, his experience and skill took over and he and Steven quickly went to work averting a disaster. They were considerate of our floors and walls as they loaded enough wood up into the attic to properly brace and secure the roof. Gene showed and explained everything to us, drew a diagram, and was very respectful of our time and resources. I feel extremely grateful and lucky that it worked out the way it did and Gene was there for us. He didn’t just quote a job or do a fix, he went the extra mile to ensure our ongoing safety as if we were his own family. Ali E.2024-04-16Verified Great experience with Gene. Timely and professional and went out of his way to help with additional tasks we needed done around the house beyond the primary job. Highly recommend. Julia A.2024-04-16Verified These guys do amazing work and are eager to jump into any problem-solving project. They ensure you are satisfied with the completed construction product and if not they will readjust to meet customer needs/wants. I am very pleased with their workmanship! Both father and son are highly capable and skilled. Tresa W.2024-03-24Verified I am extremely happy with the work completed by Drat. They are professional, punctual, and honest. Working on my garage project, Gene had a couple of recommendations that were spot on and even touched up on some extras that made my garage doors look much better. I highly recommend Drat and definitely will use their service again. Tanya H.2024-03-10
