We’ve had the pleasure of working with John Dana and Dana Construction on multiple projects, including a full home remodel, a recreation building, and an office renovation. John is, without a doubt, the best of the best. His meticulous planning and commitment to staying within budget are outstanding. What sets him apart is his honesty—if unforeseen expenses arise, John is upfront about it and works tirelessly to find solutions that keep the project on track financially.
When it comes to timelines, John is straightforward and transparent. He doesn't sugarcoat delays but instead gives realistic time frames, ensuring there are no surprises. The crews he hires are top-notch—always punctual, professional, and delivering exceptional quality.
If you're looking for a construction company that prioritizes quality, integrity, and customer satisfaction, I recommend Dana Construction without hesitation. John Dana and his team are simply exceptional!

John Dana is the best contractor we have worked with. His workers do excellent work. He keeps a close eye on the budget and works hard to keep costs in line. John has given us excellent advice and suggestions to improve the house before and during construction. We live 400+ miles away, so trust and communication are very important, and John earned our complete trust and communicated constantly to keep us up to date. Building a house is stressful, but John made it a lot easier.

John is finishing a custom timber frame build for us. We have been working with him for almost 2 years from the design phase through construction. He was honest up front about the costs to build what we were looking at and worked with us for possible budget alternatives. He handled all of the interactions on any design questions or changes with the timber frame company and traveled to see their site and operations first to ensure that everything met his and our quality standards. We were remote and he handled all of the little things that came up and researched options as we went along, presenting us with the options, pros and cons and the costs. He has been there working with and for us every step of the way. I cannot imagine another contractor that would have provided us with the level of service and honesty that John has shown throughout this build. Our friends who have visited the site all comment on the quality of materials, construction and how impressed they are with John. If you want an honest, skilled and experienced contractor who will work with you and have your best interests at heart, Dana Construction should be at the top of your list.

I had high hopes for this company and Jon Dana himself. We had a small addition on to the back of our home that we wanted a bid on and pretty much have him do if he had time in the next year. Jon came out and looked at our project personally (great!). Then asked me how much awe were looking to spend (red flag). He then Asked me to send him some other information and that he would get back to me in a couple weeks. I was excited to know I'd found someone local to do our addition. A week later I came home to drawings at my front door and a note to call him. Again, very excited to talk with him and see what his thoughts were and to get bid/estimate on the job. When I called him he asked if I had other bids and I said I may get one more but everyone else is too busy and I asked him what he thought it would cost to do the addition. THATS when he said he didn't neeeed to do bids just to do them, that he's very busy and If wanted a bid I'd need to use him and give him $3,000 DOWN just to get a bid price out of him! I was shocked. So he had time to come out and look at the project, time to drop drawings off at our home...but NO time to give us any kind of price without a NON refundable down. So then basically if we gave him the down he could bid whatever price he wanted. Sorry Jon, bad business. I was really hoping for more. I'd give zero stars if I could.
