Joshua Wachman, Client, Private Residence

October 15, 2017

Five years ago my wife and I hired Denali construction to build our custom vacation home in New Hampshire. Denali won our confidence over other bidders because Denali's portfolio of homes were knock-outs and his recommendations were solid. Denali has worked with the best architects in Massachusetts. It was a bit unorthodox for us to hire a builder based in Massachusetts to deliver a home in central New Hampshire, but we are so glad we did. Jim DiPaolo and his crew of talented carpenters at Denali delivered our home on time and on budget. I could stop right there, but that would not be sufficient to tell the story of why you should consider Denali for your project.

During the intervening years, minor maintenance issues emerged with our home. Jim was always quick to provide a solution, return a call, recommend a sub contractor or visit the site himself to address the problem. His client loyalty is outstanding. I have also had the opportunity to visit several Denali job sites — and there is no drama. The carpenters and subcontractors get along well and they don’t cut corners. They are real craftsmen and are uniformly friendly. Jim has no tolerance for incompetence or behavior which might impact your neighbors or to conceal a problem. The culture of the Denali team is to solve problems and deliver high quality results and satisfied clients.

Building a bespoke home is a project that invites all sorts of tension and anxiety. Entire television programs play off this drama and the interpersonal, financial and architectural concerns the client, architect and builder bring to a project. Our project was devoid of this tension. Denali is now finishing our basement which was a planned phase two of our home. I am excited to reprise the collaboration. I fully recommend them for your project and would be glad to have Jim connect you with me as a reference.
