Dan's Construction Service is a Ludlow, Massachusetts general contractor whose reviews circle back to one job type again and again: decks. Torn-down decks rebuilt in composite and Trex, wraparound porches reframed from the ground up, additions tucked onto the back of a house — the company describes itself as handling new construction, additions, and remodeling including kitchens, bathrooms, roofing, siding, and window and door installation, and it reports 20 years in the trade. Google gives it a 4.9-star average from 73 ratings, and the pattern across dozens of the written reviews is specific rather than vague: homeowners describe getting an exact price and an exact start date up front, and the crew hitting both. In a 2025 review, one customer describes a full deck tear-down quoted at a set price that came in two full days after the original three-week estimate; another the same year describes being worked into the schedule on short notice so a new deck could pass inspection before a deadline. A recurring beat is speed without shortcuts — several reviewers mention decks finished in days rather than weeks, with the crew cleaning up thoroughly afterward. The written record runs from 2022 through this year, so the pattern isn't a single good season. In a 2024 review, one homeowner described hiring the company to finish a roof after a previous contractor walked off the job and left only half of it done. Another 2025 review describes starting with a single bathroom renovation that led to two more bathroom jobs and a home addition with the same crew. Beyond decks and additions, reviewers also credit the company for full window replacements and a combined siding, gutter, and roof job. The one thing worth asking about before calling: a 2023 one-star review describes a caller being treated rudely on the phone while asking about services — a complaint about office manner, not about the quality of any completed work, and the only negative note in the record. This is a solid call for a deck, porch, or addition project where the homeowner wants a firm quote and a schedule that actually holds. Confirm the decking material up front (Trex versus composite PVC has come up as a real choice offered to customers) and get the start date in writing before booking.
Dan's Construction did an excellent job demolishing our old deck and building a beautiful new one. The entire project was organized and efficient from start to finish. Dan was professional, helpful, and easy to work with throughout the process. We're thrilled with the quality of the workmanship and absolutely love our new deck. Highly recommend Dan's Construction!
I hired Dan for replacing our existing deck which was pressure treated with a new Timber Tech PVC flooring and new vinyl railings. He was one of 5 companies that responded to my email or phone call. He was very personable and extremely responsive and knowledgeable as to what I was looking for. Although he mentioned that he constructed more projects with the product Trex, I had already made up my mind that I would prefer the Timber Tech product. He was more than happy to provide this, his price was pretty competitive with the other contractors and his personality was why we decided to go with his company. The project was completed in a more than timely manner, his crew was great and they worked 10 hour days to complete the project on time. They also were great about cleaning up after the days work as well as spending a few minutes each day entertaining our dog. If you are looking for a company to provide excellent workmanship I would highly recommend that you give him the opportunity to make your dream project a reality. Kristie & Terry Mullins
Our 35 year old front porch needed to be completely rebuilt. At our initial meeting, Dan made a number of suggestions that would make it stronger, last longer, as well as add to curb appeal. He provided an exact price and an exact start date, unlike the four other builders. The work started exactly the day that he said. Excellent communication, follow through and execution throughout the build. The carpenters were very experienced, organized, and the lady in the office was responsive, courteous and always available. A very pleasant experience from start to finish and we now have a beautiful, well built, solid porch utilizing pressure treated lumber and TimberTech materials. We are delighted!
We had our landing replaced and expanded with composite decking. Dan gave a reasonable quote, and Ben, the one-man crew did an amazing job in a day and a half. The work was done on time, and Ben's expertise and hard work was impressive. We're very happy with the finished product!
We had an amazing experience with this company for our addition. From start to finish, they were professional, responsive, and easy to work with. The quality of the work is outstanding, and everything was completed on time and exactly how we envisioned. Highly recommend to anyone looking for reliable and skilled contractors!
