Clients receive customized designs balancing aesthetics and practicality, with precise budgeting before construction begins. Projects often incorporate open-plan concepts and energy-efficient solutions.
Historic Preservation
Specializing in Craftsman and early 20th-century homes, we maintain architectural integrity while modernizing interiors. Services include period-accurate material sourcing, structural repairs, and system upgrades that preserve historic character. Our award-winning approach balances preservation standards with contemporary livability requirements for protected properties.
Lifetime Home Modifications
We implement barrier-free solutions for long-term accessibility. Features include walk-in showers, widened doorways, and safety-enhanced flooring. Our NAHB-certified designs accommodate changing mobility needs without compromising aesthetics. Each modification follows universal design principles for multi-generational usability.

We integrate seamless transitions between indoor and outdoor environments, adding value through expanded functional square footage and enhanced curb appeal.

Report
We could not be happier with our bathroom remodels and deck replacement. From the initial meeting, design, and construction David and his trades were excellent. I would not hesitate to use them again if the need arises and I would highly recommend them.

DLM builds to the highest standards of quality. Their work has a sense of refinement and finesse that you don't get with any other contractor. They listen to the needs and concerns of their customers, and incorporate their knowledge and vast experience to come up with truly remarkable results. When people visit my home and can't stop complimenting the vast amount of work that has been done, I am proud to let them know that DLM is my contractor.
