Our experience working with Dan was great. Dan is very easy to work with, approachable, and easy to communicate with. His attention to detail and his craftsmanship are evident in all of his work. At the start of our project he set a projected budget and calendar for completing the work on our renovation. We found as we needed to make decisions that he would guide us making suggestions and recommendations in regards to local businesses and materials that we could use that maintained the style and warmth we wanted to achieve in our new space, all in keeping within our budget. Dan was also successful in keeping within the schedule that he set, and having the sub-contractors adhere to his timelines.We felt that throughout the project he was out for our better interest. We would not hesitate to hire Dan for any future projects.

Last summer we hired Blue Heron to completely overhaul our main upstairs bathroom of our post and beam home. Plainly put – we could not be more pleased with the process, cost, and end result of Dan’s work. Dan is truly a craftsman who has an easy going way about him that allows for an open and stress-free work relationship. Dan is an excellent listener who was responsive to our wishes and helped craft a plan that came together better than we ever imagined.

Dan is a highly professional, honest, flexible and open-minded contractor. He listened, he was thoughtful in his responses, and he was patient. He is a creative problem-solver that made the stressful part of renovation more bearable. He has a great sense of humor, is laid back but also incredibly hard working, and honors his commitment to excellence. He is also very organized, and kept detailed accounts of our financial progress as well as constantly updated projections about the overall project budget. He met with us on a regular basis to review spreadsheets, explain where we were in the process, and allow us to ask questions and make adjustments. Details are important to him and the finish work reflects his attention to the small, subtle components that made a big difference.
Dan helped guide us through the many unforeseen problems that arose and he managed to stick to his timeline. He is well respected in the business and has some great contacts and subcontractors that enjoy working with him, and are generous in their praise of his quality of work.
