We hired D'Ambra Construction to do a fairly major renovation of a house built in 1980 in Fullerton, California. The renovation involved building 3 new bathrooms, adding square footage, including a master closet, and replacing the entire HVAC system..
We are extremely happy with D'Ambra and the work they did. They came in on time, on budget and change orders were handled in a very calm and reasonable manner with no stress.
The thing I like most about this company is that they really want their customers to be not just be satisfied with the result but they want them to be really happy with the result. And this philosophy is present at all levels of the staff, from Dennis at the top, to the construction manager Chris, to all the guys doing the hard labor. It's just in the company culture and you can feel it in all interactions at all levels.
We waited until now to write this review because we wanted to really assess the quality of the work, after the passage of time. We had a recent plumbing issue in one bathroom and Chris had the plumber out the next day, almost 3 years after the original work, and the plumber deftly handled the situation. It turns out the plumbing issue may have inadvertently been caused by our children; D'Ambra took care of it at no cost to us!
I'm a big fan of D'Ambra and would definitely use them again in the future.

We couldn't be happier with our beautifully remodeled home. Chris D'Ambra who oversaw the project, is not only knowlegable about all aspects of construction, he pays attention to all details from large to small and from start to finish. D'Ambra does not cut corners, the finished product is one of quality craftmenship. Thank you Chris!

We purchased a 40 year old town home that needed extensive remodeling. We interviewed 3 design-build contractors and ultimately chose D'Ambra for our project. We ended up completely gutting our home and remodeled the kitchen, all three baths, put in new floors, retextured walls, redid electrical and plumbing, added AC, new patios front and back, installed all new appliances, new interior doors, new fireplace, bumped out the weird two-door entry to create a foyer and one new front entry door, added crown molding, custom closets etc. Our project took close to 6 months. During that time, we had multiple sub contractors working on the house. Chris D'Ambra was always managing their work and we felt like we were in good hands. Geoff (Chris' assistant) was a fabulous asset as well to the team. John (cabinet guy), Paul (tile guy), Stephanie (designer/decorator), Juan (painter), Bill (kitchen/bath designer).....all were great to work with and frankly, made the project a lot of fun. Are there things that I'd do differently next time...yes. But a neighbor recently asked me if I'd hire D'Ambra and work with them again and I said we absolutely would. I believe that's the highest complement I can give.

We are so happy with the excellent work D'Ambra did for our home remodel. We did absolutely everything through D'Ambra for our complete new kitchen and add-on for a new master suite. From their designer to Richard (cabinets), Stephanie (interior designer), Rigo (painter) stone, tile, Tolly (landscape), rain gutters, crown and many other professionals-everything was done professionally and with care.
We have many guests in our home, and always they say what a beautiful home we have. Some of the frequent comments: beautiful home, inviting, tasteful, lovely colors, coolest house in the neighborhood. A new neighbor to the neighborhood thought the add-on was an original part of our house (original built in 1960). Our house looks modern, but still looks part of the neighborhood. I love it!
D'Ambra is committed to staying on schedule and budgets. They were helpful to design their work with functionality, style and quality first and foremost. I can't say enough good things about D'Ambra. I can highly recommend them to anyone.

The best ever!!! Worked with Chris and he did everything he said he would plus more. Lots of little extras we had never thought of. Highly recommend!!
All workers were clean and respectful. Cleaned up daily.
He was very patient with my wife as we had many changes driving anybody else crazy.
His team designed, did plans and all the work them selves. Saved us thousands!!
Loved having everything done in house as we only worked with Chris start to finish. We had to move stairs and tear down walls. Everything was perfect
On budget!!!

D'Ambra Construction recently completed an addition to our 1960's built home, enlarging the two secondary bedrooms and also assisting with a new roof and changes to the front facade. In all aspects D'Ambra was professional and efficient. All personnel involved in this were always on time, did their job well and cleaned up each day. We were kept apprised of any changes in cost of the project due to changes we made or any other factors that affected cost. It was a pleasure to have them around and I would certainly recommend D'Ambra to anyone needing an addition to their home. It was a wonderful experience!!

D'Ambra added on to our home a 450 sq ft addition along with a complete kitchen remodel and outdoor patio, new roof and air conditioning. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
D'Ambra had built on additions for several of our friends as early as 1975. High quality materials, use the best craftsmen and guided us through the design plans. Dennis and Chris D'Ambra are very honest, reliable and professional. Their was a crew that cleaned up at the end of each day. The D'Ambras were always available to answer any of our questions. We made several changes during the process and they were always easy to work with.
We were so happy with D'Ambra, our daughter had D'Ambra do a complete kitchen and two bathroom remodel along with laundry room, dinning room and all doors and floors, all new windows and air conditioning.
We would certainly use D'Ambra Construction again!

We'd out-grown our house. We have deep backyard, so we contracted D'Ambra to double our house from 1650 sq.ft. to 3250. Quality of service obvious at start. No sooner than stucco had been stripped off back than storm rolled in. Dennis had crew over in 15-20 mins hanging plastic sheeting. Happy after 30+ yrs.

We hired D'ambra for a bed and bathroom addition. They were professional right from the start and our project turned out exactly how we had hoped. There were no hidden costs and they finished almost on deadline. They listened to our ideas and gave their input when needed.

After moving to a new area with zero idea of who to hire to completely update/remodel our new home, we searched on Houzz for local design/build contractors. D'Ambra stood out as exceptional and very responsive. We closed on the new house the end of August, construction began early October. Construction was finalized by the first week of April. Complete renovation of all bathrooms & kitchen. Updates in every room included down lights, paint, carpet, baseboard/casing & doors. We are extremely satisfied with all the work from D'Ambra and all the people they sent to work at our new home or referred us to. See before and after pictures on ideabook:

We chose D'Ambra for a small addition ( about 200sqft). We extended two bedrooms and added a bathroom. We also added an attached patio cover(260sqft)-which turned out beautiful (like those ones you see in the home improvement magazines you get in the mail every week)! We worked with Bill who listened to our ideas and then designed it. We began the process in December, they had the permits done by the end of December and we broke ground at the beginning of January. They told us three months for the construction, and they were done and gone in exactly the time frame they promised. We had quite a bit a rain during these months, but everything was handled. They tarped our house and eased any of our worries about damage from rain storms. I was pregnant with twins at the time of our project. I delivered at the end of February and the babies were in the NICU for 5 weeks in the middle of the remodel. I mention this, first, because even being pregnant, this project was stress-free. We lived in our home the entire time. Second, we are not the kind of people who leave workers at our home when we are not there, but there were too many situations where we had to. Chris D'Ambra, the project manager, was there daily to check in with us and on the progress of the job. All of the workers were not only friendly but very trustworthy. They were very clean too. We were also preoccupied during a lot of the finishing touches, so on a few occasions I showed or texted Chris pictures of what I wanted and he made it happen. The biggest example of this was in our new bathroom. I wanted the new bathroom to look like a beach cottage. He coordinated everything from the beadboard to the subway tiles and fixtures to look just like a picture I had found. The custom made cabinet in the bathroom is also amazing. I wish all of my cabinets were of the same quality! The drawers glide smoothly and close with a gentle push.
They delivered on everything promised and even helped us find people to complete a few projects outside of the remodel. We are very pleased with the work done for us by D'Ambra.

This company is by far the best ever. I live on the East Coast and was not able to oversee the work provided and was very happy at completion. I had my mom's downstairs unit remodeled. New bathrooms, bedrooms, enlarging the family room and new flooring. The work was exceptional. Fast, complete, detailed and no problems. I decided to do some remodeling on my mom's upstairs. A new bathroom, powder room, wainscoting. crown molding and tile work, and again the work was beautifully done. Details, great ideas and helpful in all areas. D'Ambra's workers were friendly and always cleaned up at the end of the day. Also helpful with suggestions. I would definitely recommend D'Ambra Construction to do any construction work. They are reliable and thorough and priced fair. I felt comfortable with Chris D'mbra in handling it all. I had no worries and he was always on top of everything. This Construction team gets an A+.
