Report
We had a GREAT experience using Devin Palazzoo with Differenza Homes. Devin and his team installed crown molding throughout our home and window trim. Devin and his team were great to work with and kept the mess to a minimum. They were trustworthy and hard working. We appreciated their attention to details, and checking in with us throughout the process. We would totally use them again.

Report
For several months I interviewed contractors to remodel my shower to be wheelchair accessible. Most tried to sell me a pre-fab shower for upwards of 10K or they were way over-priced. I finally got a recommendation from a friend for Devin Palazzoo with Differenza Homes. He readily accepted the challenge to tear out my existing step-in tile shower and build a custom shower with a 36 inch door that would accommodate my mom's wheelchair. The cost was half of what other contractors quoted. Devin and his brothers did the work themselves. They were the epitome of professionalism. They arrived on time
