In a June 2026 one-star review, a customer who hired DCR Construction for a bedroom and bath addition wrote that the company screwed up the job, kept their money, lost in arbitration and was declaring bankruptcy. BBB carries an alert on the business, "Out-of-Business known or suspected", and shows it as Not Rated. The Middleton general contractor, also listed as DCR Building & Remodeling, does additions, kitchen and bathroom remodels, decks and porches, according to its site. The site says owner Dave C. Rugato started contracting in 1992 after a building and construction degree from the Wentworth Institute of Technology, and that the company is veteran owned. Earlier customers describe smoother jobs. In a September 2019 Angi review, a family with three young children had a full and a half bath remodeled at once, including new drain pipes, and said the crew led by Mark cleaned up and put the toilet back every day so they could stay in the house. An April 2019 reviewer had a bathroom added in their basement and said Dave handled problems during the build patiently. In an August 2023 Houzz review, a customer said Dave helped pick finishes, appliances and fixtures for a bathroom and kitchen renovation.
Simple bedroom and bath addition. Screwed up the job, kept our money, lost in arbitration, now declaring bankruptcy. Lost a lot of money.

Dave and the crew came out and renovated a bathroom and kitchen. Everything went smoothly from start to finish. Dave was very helpful in helping me to pick out my finishes, appliances and bathroom fixtures. I was impressed with DCR's new office and samples room, I found it very helpful to hold something in my hand and see the colors in person vs on a computer. I would definitely recommend Dave and his crew to help others thinking about renovations.
Great team of professionals providing expert advice and workmanship. Will hire them again.
I will get into the details below, but I want to lead off by saying I would highly recommend DCR Building and Remodeling for any home project! Me and my wife needed a full and a half bath remodeled, including replacement of all of the drain pipes due to their age, as well as wear and tear over the years. We gave Dave Rugato a call back in the May timeframe and he promptly came out to take a look at the project. He then came back to us to meet us in person to go over the quote, the details of the project, etc. We were comfortable with the price, as well as his approach to do things the right way, always preaching quality, so we signed on for the project. Dave and his team started the project in a timely fashion. We had a house full of a dog, plus three little kids (6, 4, 1) so cleanliness and having folks in the house I could trust was of utmost importance. My kids would look forward to Mark coming to the house to begin work every single day. He even had my son lay a few tiles in the shower, which my 6-year old still points out are the ones he put there! Pretty awesome stuff. Dave and his team members (led by Mark) did a great job with the demolition, making everything fast and being sure they cleaned up at the end of each day. Vacuuming for nails, putting the toilet back at the end of every working day, were little things that went a lot way to helping us not have to vacate the house while we had both bathrooms being done simultaneously. Everything came together timely and it was great to see the whole thing to take shape over time! Needless to say, the full and half bath are perfect and exactly what we wanted! DCR Building and Remodeling did two full bathrooms for our in-laws, as well as another full bull bathroom for a friend of ours in town, and the experience was just as positive as ours. We will certainly have DCR Building and Remodeling back for a future project. Thank you for our amazing new bathrooms and for having a fantastic crew that truly knows how to work around a family.
