What Homeowners Say
Reviews from Real DAK Customers
- ★★★★★
“Best construction work I have ever seen. Our old cedar deck was poorly constructed and falling apart. The first contractor to show up after numerous calls was Dennis Kidd of DAK. He understood exactly what we wanted in a TREX deck, provided a quick and fair estimate and got the job done right with no complaints. His employees are true master craftsmen and work hard and with precision.”
Mike C.
- ★★★★★
“Dennis met with me several times going over the design. The project was begun and finished on schedule and the professionalism and workmanship was fantastic. The pavilion is a beautiful addition to my home and yard — admired by all my friends. The floor was TREX decking and the ceiling was tongue and groove cedar.”

- ★★★★★
“Dennis Kidd's DAK Construction just completed installing a Trex deck and railing system as a replacement for our existing deck. Throughout the process, Dennis and his crew, especially Holmes and Jimmy, were terrific to work with and highly professional in all respects.”
