DMR Home Improvements describes itself on its website as a home improvement company providing renovation services to homeowners, from kitchen and bathroom remodeling to home additions, and it offers free estimates. Derek was named as the owner in a 2024 Google review. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor licence, number 208258, is expired on the state registry. In a 2024 Google review, DMR replaced ceilings on the main floor, finished half of the basement, and added a full bath and a basement walkout. Another 2024 Google review said Derek and his team upgraded a first floor from linoleum and carpet to vinyl plank, upgraded a downstairs toilet, sink and vanity, changed the stairs from carpet to wood with black iron balusters, and upgraded the upstairs landing to hardwood, cleaning up when finished. A 2024 Google review said Derek and his team built a deck, came every day, and that Derek shared recommendations different from the initial idea. In a 2024 Google review, Craig at DMR designed a custom shed, and Derek had Francis and Matt build a custom workbench and shelves. A 2024 Google review said DMR Home Improvements did the work on a roof and skylight, and that his team stayed into the night making sure everything was put back in its place. In a 2024 HomeAdvisor review, he came the same day to give an estimate for a leaking roof. A 2023 HomeAdvisor review described deck construction completed in record time, with the team at DMR taking the time to listen to ideas and preferences for the deck and keeping the writer informed on progress. That 2023 review also called the cost of the deck very reasonable. In a 2025 Google review, a customer described delays, a crew that rarely showed up on time, uneven walls and messy paint, and a project that cost more than the original estimate and was not finished properly. That 2025 review said the writer had to hire someone else to redo most of the work.
Working with this contractor was a terrible experience from start to finish They promised professionalism and quality but what I got was delays excuses and very poor workmanship The crew rarely showed up on time and when they did the work was sloppy and rushed Walls were uneven paint was messy and the finishing looked cheap even though I paid for better materials Communication was awful because they either ignored my calls or gave vague answers without actually fixing the problems The project ended up costing more than the original estimate and still wasn’t finished properly I had to hire someone else to come in and redo most of their work which wasted more time and money This contractor is unreliable unprofessional and I would never recommend them to anyone.
Derek and his crew are outstanding! Derek is truly a professional and goes out of his way to insure the job is done correctly and in a timely fashion. Derek came to the house and gave a fair assessment of what it would cost to replace our roof. I would highly recommend Derek and his crew for any type of home repairs needed for your house. Thank you Derek !!! Job well done!
DMR Home Improvements did an amazing job on my roof and skylight. His team is fast and thorough. They stayed into the night making sure everything was put back in it's place. So happy with my home project. 5 stars!
Craig at DMR did beautiful design on our custom shed! Derek had Francis and Matt build me custom workbench and shelves. LOVE IT! Can't wait to start our next home improvement project with them!
If you need ANY home improvements you NEED to call Derek and his team! They are excellent. They arrive on time, get right to work, are meticulous and great at what they do. We had our entire first floor flooring upgraded from linoleum and carpet to vinyl plank, downstairs bathroom toilet, sink and vanity upgraded, stairs up to 2nd floor changed from carpet to wood with black iron balusters (see pics!)and the upstairs landing upgraded from carpet to hardwood. They cleaned up when finished and we had Jennie come in and patch and touch up where the baseboards were changed. To say our home has transformed is an understatement!! We will be having Derek and team back for the other projects we need done and would never call anyone else!
