I am hoping this company is better at building then driving. Company truck behind me was beeping because I would not go on a caution light until I was sure the cars going the other direction were stopping. Then once on the interstate did well above the speed limit. Not a good way to impress me. Your vehicle is doing your advertising. That would be a no for me.

In 2015, we contacted 4 deck companies to solicit bids on replacing two decks (one very large deck, one small deck). Dennis Kidd's bid was by far the best price for the highest quality - and his reviews on Angie's list were all 5's. Dennis gave us excellent suggestions, to include the trex decking, the configuration and the sub-structure. His workers were the best workers we've ever had in 30 years of household projects. They were meticulous in their work and made sure every detail was exact, and they were great people too. We could not be more pleased with the work and the final result. We were so pleased we hired DAK construction for several other major projects, and every project was exceptional.

Dennis worked with our landscaper (Snow's Nursery) to build a custom designed deck project that integrated with the landscaping plan. He built a large screened in deck (pine roof / mahogany floor) and an open deck utilizing Trex planking. It is absolutely gorgeous and will be for a long time. We looked around and DAK is the highest quality builder in the greater Charlottesville area. He also brought in a high quality electrician to install our fan/light fixture and outlets both inside and outside. We could not have been happier with the project and have received numerous compliments from our guests.

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. They always came to the job site on schedule and left the site as clean as they found it. They worked in a most meticulous and skillful manner. We now have a deck of which we are extremely proud and would highly recommend Dennis' firm for any construction project.

We turned our porch renovation over to Dennis Kidd, who in our absence completed the job professionally and on time. We couldn't be more pleased with the results and the materials he used. This is our second project with Dennis. He is honest, very skilled, and delivered an excellent glassed- in porch. We highly recommend him to anyone who wants a quality product.

I had struggled for years trying to find someone to build a deck for me that I felt I could trust. After meeting with a couple of different contractors, Dennis Kidd was easily my first choice and here's why... he responded quickly to my initial call. He called me the next day with an estimate. He suggested deck colors that would go well with my house colors Most importantly, he didn't pressure me into buying something I didn't want. The project involved demolition of my previous deck and replacing it with Trex Transcend using the existing footprint. He started the job ahead of schedule. I found Dennis to be extremely professional in dealing with me and his employees. He didn't insult the previous deck builder, and believe me he had plenty of subject matter. The crew were punctual. They showed up every morning on time. Two of the nicest guys with a lovely sense of humor. They were more than happy to move their vehicles to make room for the neighbors tree trimming trucks. Nobody had to ask them they just did it. So you can stop searching for a contractor... Dennis Kidd is the guy you want to go with. I had a super, positive experience from start to finish and I now have a beautiful outdoor living space. Many thanks for all of your hard work.

This company constructs some impressive decks. I've only seen and walked on a few of them and the quality is remarkable. When it comes time to replace/repair mine I'm convinced they are the way to go.
