The Dan Company basically held our hands through the process of bidding on a serious remodel project with architect’s drawings, they won the bid and then were the main contractor and project manager for the entire affair. It was a 7 month long project with a new roof, new electric work, a new bathroom and a lot more. The Dan Company selected excellent sub contractors for jobs and then made sure all the sub-contractors delivered work to our satisfaction. The workers from the Dan Company all delivered excellent work, were very respectful and were just a real pleasure to have on our project. The job estimates were all very honest and transparent and the Dan Company delivered regular progress reports with cost breakdowns to keep us informed. They are highly recommended.

My third time to use this company. They’re super professional, prompt and insanely clean. When they leave it’s as if no one had been there. This last job could’ve destroyed my landscaping, but they left it completely untouched. Recommend!

We hired The Dan Company to do a repair to a rooftop deck at our home, and they far exceeded our expectations every step of the way. From the initial estimate to our project manager’s oversight of the project, their workmanship, professionalism, and customer service were absolutely exceptional. I will be recommending The Dan Company to anyone in need of home repair/renovation work, and would gladly hire them again in the future!

Had Dan install a Murphy door and shelves in my game room. Did an amazing job, better than I had hoped for. Finished earlier than expected, went above and beyond to get things absolutely perfect. I can’t recommend them highly enough.

Historic Renovations FAQ

What makes historic renovations different from other types of renovations?

Historic renovations require special attention to preserving the building’s original character and architectural features while updating it for modern use. Our work often involves researching historical materials and construction techniques and working closely with preservation boards to ensure compliance with local historic standards.

Yes, it’s possible to modernize the interior of a historic home while maintaining its historic integrity. The key is to balance modern conveniences and efficiency with the preservation of historic elements, such as moldings, windows, and floor plans. Careful planning and design can ensure that updates meet your needs and respect the home’s heritage.

A home may be considered historic if it’s listed on the National Register of Historic Places, located within a historic district, or designated as historic by local or state preservation organizations. Nashville and Davidson County contain several historic districts. We can help you determine your home’s historic status and navigate any guidelines or restrictions for renovations.

Common challenges include uncovering and addressing hidden damage (like structural issues or outdated wiring), sourcing authentic materials for repairs, and meeting modern building codes without compromising historical elements. We’re very experienced in the historic preservation field, bringing specialized knowledge, skilled craftsmanship, and a network of resources to your historic renovation project. 

Dan Company FAQs

Are estimates free?

In most cases, yes! We love the opportunity to talk about process, timing, and financial details to help you make informed decisions about your project. Even if we don’t work together, we want to be a resource for you as you navigate the planning process. 

If we are creating estimates for a property you are considering purchasing (but do not currently own), or if the estimating process requires extensive discovery (hard-to-reach areas, removing pieces of the structure to find a problem), there will be a fee associated with the estimate. If that’s the case, we’ll always tell you in advance.

Our standard hours are Monday through Thursday from 8 am to 4 pm and Friday from 8 am to 3 pm, so we do not typically schedule meetings on the weekend or after hours. That said, there are special circumstances that may be approved on a case-by-case basis.

Our estimator is well versed in the many different aspects of the construction field, and a phone call can usually get us pretty far along in the bid process. However, until a site visit is scheduled, hard estimate numbers are difficult to determine. We always strongly recommend a site visit if possible.

We do not provide in-house design or architecture services, however, we collaborate with trusted architects and designers in our area on projects of all sizes. We would be happy to provide you with a list of designers and architects we know and trust.

Drop us a quick message with your ideas and goals and we’ll call you back ASAP! (Really, we’ll actually call you back).

Project billing typically involves an initial deposit followed by progress payments according to project milestones, with detailed invoicing for transparency.

We are sticklers when it comes to our quality control procedures. We hire experienced and reliable subcontractors, regularly inspect our work, and adhere to strict safety protocols and building codes.

We hand-pick our subcontractors based on their expertise, reputation, reliability, and past performance. Our project quality is only as good as the workmanship our subs deliver; that’s why we only work with the best of the best in Nashville.

As your general contractor, we are responsible for staying updated on building codes and regulations, as well as obtaining necessary building permits and scheduling inspections to ensure the project complies with local regulations and codes.

Construction projects are notorious for unexpected curveballs – it’s just the nature of the work. We’ll address changes by discussing options with you, providing revised estimates, and adapting the project plan as needed. Should unexpected challenges arise, we are quick to discuss any issues with you and create a clear solution and plan.

Transparent communication is one of our service pillars. We will be in regular contact with you through meetings, progress reports, email and phone, keeping you informed about the project status and alerting you to any issues ASAP.

Here at The Dan Company, our warranty covers one year from the date of substantial completion. We reserve the right to correct any deficiencies after the 1 year period that are due to neglectful workmanship or other.
