"We were able to complete this project in all of about 3 months. Seriously impressive. I thought it would take at least 6 months for a project of this scale. Dani's project management skills, her expertise in design, coupled with her deep knowledge of construction set her apart from the rest. I highly recommend you work with Dani on your next major home renovation project!"
