What a fantastic experience. Everyone always talks about the stress of a major remodel…but Derek’s down-to-Earth personality and can-do philosophy alleviates all anxiety that usually accompanies any construction project. If you hire D.M Hutlenius as your contractors you can expect excellent service, on time completion and a giant smile on your face. At the end of your project you will be screaming from the top of your roof telling everyone you know how wonderful they are!! We interviewed a total of four contractors. When we met Derek we knew immediately he was the one we were going to hire. He has amazing vision, he is down to Earth, very accessible, easy to talk to, and has competitive pri...

We were looking to have a total home renovation and had a few estimates submitted to us and we consulted some of the local product suppliers for referrals. During the process Derek was referred to us and we felt that the communication and working relation was the best. We never were pressured to pay any up front fees for the project design development until we all had come to an agreement on the scope of that work. He took the time to bring practical construction experience into the process that gave us many different ideas to consider. This was important because many construction groups and designers required large non-refundable fees to do any kind of design work beyond some simplisti...

The entire crew at DM Hultenius is beyond professional, organized, creative, and I can not praise them enough. As an interior designer, I search high and low for quality contractors and builders and these guys are constantly exceeding expectations. Recently partnered with them a full home remodel and they were on top of everything from flooring, plumbing, walls, paint, electrical and counters (just to name a few). Very competitively priced and easy to work with!

Derek and the crew remodeled half of my house. All of the tasks they worked in were completed flawlessly, well ahead of schedule, and on budget. It has been two years now and the house still feels new. Awesome work. The kitchen is the best part. Expert carpentry and an outstanding electrician.

Derek and Dave Hultenius were wonderful during the remodel of our three bathrooms. They were so professional, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. They took time helping us envision different creative designs (for example, they thought of adding a window that we never even considered before, and it turned out amazing!). Once the project started, they responded quickly to our calls/texts, were always very calm and focused, and cleaned up before they left each day. They also stayed on budget and on deadline. Another thing that made such a difference is that they hired such top quality employees and subcontractors (Juan is AMAZING - a true artist with his tile work, Richard and Arthur ...

Derek and Dave Hultenius are the best to work with. Their knowledge of design and construction are evident from the first encounter. They helped modify the design plans to meet our desires with what was feasible for our home. The results were stunning and we couldn't be happier. We used them for two different remodeling phases and they also helped get us going on other minor projects with qualified workmen and specialists to finish off our entire home.

Derek and his team are professionals. I would hire them again. There were a few delays here and there, but nothing that stands out. I'm very pleased with the end result.

Lynn Scozzari

Derek Hultenius is very knowledgeable and easy to work with. He and his staff were extremely professional and were able to deal with the many nuances of building our custom mountain top home. The end result is a home my wife and I are very proud to share with our family and friends. If you are building a home, or simply remodeling your existing home, you cannot find a better builder than DM Hultenius.

I highly recommend DM Hultenius for your next remodel! We recently completed a major kitchen remodel, which included knocking down walls, building an island, new flooring, etc etc. The job was completed on schedule and right on budget -- and the results were BEAUTIFUL. Any unexpected events were handled quickly and efficiently, and their subcontractors were also pleasant to work with. Thank you for a job well done!

Bethany Biancavilla

I'd give them a 10/5 if I could. If you don't want to read my lengthy review I will sum it up with these bullet points: •Trustworthy •Finished on budget and ahead of schedule •Communication was great, Always easy to get a hold of and talk to •Always professional and friendly •Hires only the best employees and subcontractors Selecting DM Hultenius was the best decision I made for my remodel (and overall sanity). I don't plan on ever taking on a project like that again without hiring them. Derek came highly recommended and I felt it was a good fit from the first meeting. I am usually very clear with what I want but the kitchen had me stumped. I had problems describing what I want...

BriAnne Purdy

We are thoroughly pleased with our new kitchen! Derek had great design ideas and was with us through the whole process, including selection of materials. Tear down and demolition went smoothly and they were very neat. During construction, we had a few issues that were not the fault of DM Hutenius and Derek made sure everything was set right. The quality is great. These are “good people”.

Patty Finnell

This was not a small remodel project. There were (2) phases, per my request, that included the Master Suite, Guest Bath, Laundry and Studio. Derek was always reachable and I trusted his advice and guidance. He uses design software with 3D imaging that helped me visualize the final project. The on-site team was dependable and efficient; I always knew Dave had everything under control. Even the best plans change during remodels and the team handled these with great patience. On top of everything Derek also helped me find some subcontractors for other projects that I needed help with. I certainly know who to call when I decide to do any remodel work to my rental in Lemon Grove!

Keely

Derek and his team were great and awesome to work with they do top quality work the price is reasonable. I would recommend them to anybody. Just look at some of his work is very detail orientated . They show up on time every day they're very people friendly and they listen to you.

Mike Finnell

Dave and Derek Hultenius and their teams were easy to work with, understood our vision and gave us lots of feedback to improve the final outcome. We LOVE our new kitchen and master bathroom along with the other improvements the Hultenius team took care of along the way! We have already recommended them to our friends and family and will continue to do so!

Theresa Marti

We recently had our bathroom area remodeled by DM Hultenius Corporation (Dave and Derek Hultenius). They could not have been more professional and easy to work with. The quality was exceptional and where there were problems (really only `mole hills, but to me the home owner mountains) they resolved them to my pleasure and satisfaction. Changes were easily accepted by them and they improved the final results with exceptional imputs and suggestions. Our decorator found them very easy to work with and the project proceeded as a team having a common goal; "My wife's and my satisfaction." The cost was what I expected for high-end work by craftsman overseen continuously by Derek. People now walk ...

I have worked with a number of General Contractors, both for professionally and personally with my home and my rentals. My designer Sue Smith DW Interiors (She is the BEST!) recommended DM Hultenius Company to remodel my kitchen. They did a fabulous job. I also had them do my deck and patio cover and that was a wonderful job as well. I would definitely hire them again, and would recommend them to everyone I know. The final outcome of the project is fantastic. Thank you Derek Hultenius for a job well done!

Last October 2015 we embarked on an addition while expecting our fourth child. Knowing this would be our permanent home for quite some time, we hired DM Hultenius. Derek, his dad and phenomenal crew turned our existing home into our dream home by adding 3 bedrooms, a bathroom and adjusting existing bedroom and bathrooms to flow within the design of our new addition. Every step of the way, Derek communicated with us about next steps, adjustments and recommendations to improve upon what was laid out on our paper plans. His expertise and vision of what could be, was invaluable and his crew was a pleasure to work with. They were always friendly, on time and professional in craftsmanship and work...

Svetlana Sowers

We were looking for quality, value, creative problem solving, and effective communication. Overall, we were very pleased and would recommend DM Hultenius highly.

Kate Christensen

We started planning (still were not 100% committed yet) our expansion project with Derek and his team in October of 2015. Wen we received word in December that we were expecting our second child, we decided to move forward ASAP. We worked with Derek on the layout and detail and submitted plans to the City in February. Everything went smooth and we had our permit in March (that was lighting fast!)! Our main concern was living through the renovation (safety, noise, disruption, etc.) and being complete before the baby arrived. Derek was with us the entire way and made the renovation as disruptive as possible. Derek assured us that we would be done in 3 months (2 months before the next b...
