DJZ Construction, LLC just finished a job for us and we HIGHLY recommend them! We are so pleased with how our newly renovated additional living space turned out and it was such a great experience. From the first phone call to Derek who reached out to me immediately to the finished project they were amazing. They were in contact with us daily and we always knew what to expect. TJ was so helpful and always available when needed.
DJZ construction has been a great company to work with throughout the whole process of our home being fixed. We had a tree fall on our house in January of 2024 and had to take out an insurance claim to fix the damage. DJZ was the first company to follow up with us, come out, and provide a proposal.When the proposal was not approved by our insurance, DJZ immediately battled for us with our provider to get what was needed. Throughout this process there was consistent communication to help keep us in the loop. Unfortunately, the proposal was not resolved until the end of April (not at the fault of DJZ, but our insurance company). Once resolved, DJZ immediately got us scheduled to start.
During the construction process we had immediate communication with all parties involved to get everything moving. There were daily text messages and weekly updates, which were exceptional for our peace of mind. Once there was additional damage observed, DJZ immediately communicated this with insurance to get the problem fixed.
In the end we have a product that is sound and professional with extreme attention to details. Our house came back with everything needed to make our property look as if there was no accident at all. We want to thank DJZ for their hard work, communication, professionalism, and craftsmanship which they brought to our home. We would happily endorse them with their work and will work with them in the future for anything that comes up. Thank you!!
I have been meaning to install railings on our front porch for many years now and especially as we, as well as our guests, get older. DJZ took our drawings and recreated the railing beyond our expectations. Very professional in their approach to working with us, and always kept a clean job site. The railings are beautiful, solid, secure, and safe for anyone coming to the house. Thanks DJZ! Without hesitation, we can highly recommend Derek and his crew for your construction needs.
I would highly recommend DJZ Construction for any addition or improvements to help make a space more disability/ADA friendly. After my husband suffered a debilitating stroke at a young age, I was caught with having to find a way to make our 2 story (3 if you count the garage) house wheelchair accessible and friendly. We had a storage loft above our garage that we accessed through the house. At the time I was trying to make the main floor half bath into a full bath that he could use. Derek had the genius idea of removing the garage loft and putting an addition on the top floor of the garage instead, complete with an ADA compliant bathroom. I added the idea of a wheelchair lift from our garage to the addition so during the winter and rainy spring, my husband wouldn’t have to wheelchair through the weather in our back yard to get to the car. We had to work through the loan process just at the time when interest rates were hiking up and monthly payments were getting ridiculous resulting in being able to afford thousands less than originally thought. Derek was great in working through the budget and finding ways where we could finish certain aspects of the project ourselves to save money. They got the new addition to the point where, with some help, I was able to paint, put up all trim and doors, and hall handrail and bathroom fixtures (towel holders, etc.) after DJZ finished their part. During the whole process, TJ kept me updated on what was happening each week, and when things changed last minute. The different crews were great about keeping a path clear in the garage when my husband had to get out to therapy or doctors appointments. We did have issues with the their suggested designer of the plans, and the place that the bathroom plumbing stuff was ordered from, but TJ indicated that I was not the only one having issues with those two companies and they were considering not using them in the future (good plan). Sometimes you just get lemons right? But all of the other contracted companies were amazing and always went above and beyond, even one coming out months later to do something that was missed in order to pass final inspection. That was amazing that I was able to contact Derek and explain the issue, and he had the solution the next day. We have a lot of projects around here that we’ll be approaching them about, from small to medium, from decking to extending upstairs floor to add more usable space. I won’t be going to any other contractor! And I 1000% suggest everyone that has any size project contact these guys first. Their vision and organization is remarkable, always thinking outside the box, and completing things on time as much as they can help it. Just do it, you won’t regret it :)
LOVE MY NEW KITCHEN!
I recently bought an older home that needed major renovation in the kitchen. Derek and his crew did a fantastic job helping me create the kitchen of my dreams.
Derek and his crew did a great job on our rental house in Bellingham. Everyone was very professional and did excellent work. We had a deck replaced and it turned out gorgeous! We had work done on the inside and Derek recommended different things we could do to fix the walls in an old house. We took his advice and could not be happier. Everything they did looks great. We will definitely use DJZ Construction again.
I so love my new kitchen/great room. It’s my favorite place in my home and it’s where I spend most of my time. Derek was very easy to work with and has an eye for quality. He really understood what I wanted and did some very creative problem solving to get the results I imagined. Everyone who sees it lights up and says, “Wow, this is really beautiful. It’s so inviting and relaxing.” I will definitely hire him again and again.
AWESOME WORK!Quick, Affordable, and great quality work, I will continue to use and recommend to everyone.
DJZ Construction is so professional! They show up on time, are neat and clean and know how to get the job done! I will definitely use them again.
DJZ construction is not only professional but does very well with his clients, He is knowledgeable is every aspect of his job and is very efficient. He does his job in a timely manner is trust worthy and honest. He will work with you on your budget and explain everything to you that needs to be done. If you need work done or anything built I strongly suggest you use DJZ construction!
We hired DJZ Construction to re-side our house. After starting the project, Derek discovered that we needed more work than originally thought. He went over what was needed, the cost and new time frame. Derek and TJ kept us within our budget, kept us updated and finished on time (even when I made TJ show me every shade of green in Whatcom county!).We would, and have, recommended Derek and his team to friends and coworkers and plan on utilizing their services ourselves in the future.
We contacted DJZ Construction to help us build an addition onto our home. Over the course of the project from design to implementation, they held our hands the entire time and even worked with us to ensure the design looked fully integrated into our current home’s structure. Derek and TJ checked in almost every day during high touch points of the project and provided weekly updates to show progress and next steps in the pipeline. Derek’s input with overall design, TJ’s management, and the team’s craftsmanship were outstanding.
We contracted with DJZ Construction to frame a detached accessory dwelling unit (DADU) for us. They did the framing, weather barrier, siding and installed the windows and entry door. Derek and TJ did a great job of lining out their crews. They paid close attention to the details and the workmanship was excellent. It was a pleasure working with them and we would recommend them to anyone considering a new project.
We cannot say Thank You enough to Head Contractor TJ and Owner Derek & crew for their impeccable workmanship and professionalism throughout our reno. Not only were they in contact with us regularly, but they also responded quickly when we had a question or request. These guys are exceptional, without a doubt. We are extremely elated with the result and couldn’t be happier. Highly recommend them to anyone. They deserve at least 10 ⭐️ stars & beyond.
DJZ Construction was amazing to work with on the remodel of our home. Our 1980 home has been converted to our dream home thanks to Derek’s vision and craftsmanship! Derek and TJ keep the project moving forward and their communication with us was phenomenal. I knew what was being done every day and if anything was changing they made sure I knew the updated plan. Amazing craftsmanship and completed on time! Thank you so much Derek & TJ!
These guys do amazing work. Derek was able to perfectly turn our vision into reality. I appreciate their attention to detail, honesty, and professionalism. Our backyard turned out amazing and added a ton of value to our home.
We’ve been fully living in our remodeled home for 3 weeks and I still walk around looking at everything with wonder and gratitude. Working with Derek and TJ from concept to completion was so easy, I’d absolutely do it again! Derek provided us with resources, advice, education and was an outstanding advocate – ensuring we always got what was discussed and planned – and often more. In one circumstance, when we were willing to scale back to resolve an unexpected issue, Derek was proactive in offering alternative solutions to ensure we got the best outcome.
Derek and TJ were a pleasure to work with from start to finish. While their high quality work speaks for itself, they consistently went above and beyond in their work while also delivering on time and on budget. Daily communication was a high priority for them, they showed up when they said they would show up, and got done what they said they would get done. We love our new living room and look forward to working with DJZ Construction again on the next phase of our remodel!
We had a great experience with our remodel! Derek was extremely helpful in leading us to a designer for plans, cabinet/flooring sources, and sub-contractors. He has great relationships already established with these people and I really felt like that made it so we were on a quick and efficient timeline. Him and his lead foreman were always ahead of any issues and very communicative. Our house is absolutely gorgeous and feels like a different space. I would highly recommend these guys!
I would highly recommend this company. They did an amazing job and they are priced very well!
Derek and his crew were great to work with from beginning to end. Even when things changed in the middle of the project they were willing to accommodate and worked with us to make sure we were happy with the outcome. Thank you so much Derek! We definitely recommend.
Such an amazing job! My neighbors keep stopping by complimenting our home! Love it!
Derek and his team are amazing. They just completed our first phase of our remodel. They were on budget and on time completed. We can’t wait for our second phase of our remodel.
Thanks DJZ.
Your team did a great Job on this project! Top of the line craftsmanship!
DJZ Construction team have done several jobs for me to date from Big Reno’s to small and I have been overly satisfied with the level of craftsmanship and care, communication they have put in to the jobs at hand. They are the best in the Whatcom County! Will continue to use DJZ Construction.
We were nearing the end of a long remodeling project and needed a contractor to finish the last phase. A friend recommended DJZ Construction. From our first phone call to our last meeting Derek was clear and efficient. We looked at several construction options and were able to quickly and comfortably settle on the details. Throughout the project, Derek, TJ and everyone else involved kept us informed of times and progress. The work site was left clean and neat each day.
I want to say how satisfied we are with the new roof put on by DJZ Construction. They oversaw the entire job and delivered excellent satisfaction. I highly recommend them.
Derek and his team did an amazing job on the front of our house. We had some weather damage and decided to enhance rather than just repair. Derek and team were punctual, professional, very fair on cost and did detail and quality work that was top notch. I will definitely be using them for future work and highly recommend.
This was a great company to work with when our house flooded. Very professional and they did a fantastic job!
Derek and his crew are amazing. They fixed a huge mess that a previous contractor had done. He sided my home and fixed the front porch. Replaced the windows. Added accents to the peaks and porch with a new door. I being fickle kept finding new accents to add and Derek kindly guided me on how to make these ideas fit. He was constantly in touch with us making sure we were happy with progress and the finished product has made our home the best looking on the block. Thank you so much you deserve 6 stars!
Used them once for a window & siding project and are once again for an addition and kitchen remodel. EXCELLENT workmanship AND they always communicate with us so we know any delays. Also daily kept us informed as to when they would be at the work site and what they were hoping to accomplish that day. 5 stars
Derek has done great work on our house in a timely/efficient manner and quality/value is excellent.
Derek Zender and his crew have worked on my home several times through our the years and I trust his workmanship. Recently I had my aluminium siding replaced with hardie plank and my home looks brand new! Their work is thorough, up to date, and they clean up every time. His company is professional, if there are any concerns he keeps me informed, and any changes are discussed in advance for my approval. I highly recommend them.
