Completely rude workers. The finished product took way longer then they said. Absolutely dissatisfaction with this company after being lied to numerous times by the workers about when they were going to show up.

We have been working on difficult parking deck water leaks for a long time that was poorly designed by the architect. D&R has stood up to their promise to resolve problems at their great expense twice. Nice to know you can believe in them.

I seriously don't believe any of these reviews. Maybe if he ever came by on the appointment when it was scheduled would this review be higher. Either that or he's so busy he forgets when his appointments are. Either way, completely unprofessional.
