Traver Construction, Inc.

I was very disappointed in my dealings with Traver Construction. They were always professional and responsive for what that’s worth, but they strung me along and took my money on a project that never made financial sense based on their extremely high prices. When we began discussions regarding the project I wanted to complete at my home, I told them my criteria for my budget (added square feet X average price per square foot in my neighborhood). I was a little weary of paying $3500 for a concept drawing and price quote, but that’s what I did. I sent them over my own (unprofessional) concept drawings along with the floor plan that I received when I bought the house. They redesigned my ideas under the guise of “saving money”, and I was fine with the changes, however they did miss several requests I had made in the design as well as make a few errors on the scale drawings. This wasn’t a deal breaker just a red flag, but when it came time to quote the project I was hit with a price of around $600/square foot quoted for the addition. The price for the neighborhood is $225/sqft. And there were no guarantees on their price staying the same. So there is just no way to justify the addition at their price. We understood the commodity prices were high, but this quote is ridiculous. I’ve already talked to another reputable company in DFW that will complete the work for much closer to the price per square foot in the neighborhood. If I would have known that they were going to come in so high over market, I wouldn’t have given them my money. I know they spent some time working on my drawings, meeting with me, and meeting with the city to confirm how close they could build next to the property line, but it feels like they didn’t really want to do my project because it wasn’t a huge payday for them and instead of pricing it appropriately, they just quoted it higher than it is worth. (Project budget: $130k-$160k, project quoted: $295k-$350k)

They are very professional. All of the people they used to do this project were very good. We are very pleased with the outcome of our great room renovation.

Doug Traver and his team (led by Project Manager Neil Bubel) were at all times professional, courteous, and forthcoming. They had innovative solutions to some complicated architectural elements that our project involved, and installed my favorite storage solution of all time in our kitchen (I'm not sure how we lived without it before). When they made mistakes (which was rare but happen in any project of this scale), the owned up to them and ensured they were fixed promptly at no cost to us. They were responsive at all times and came in on-budget and on-time. I have recommended them to several friends & would definitely work with them again!

Doug and his team did a fantastic job on our recent large remodeling project. We moved walls, changed ceiling heights, raised a sunken living room, completely gutted a kitchen and replaced our entire HVAC system. The subcontractors that Doug used were professional, timely and the work was high quality. We enjoyed working with his team and look forward to working with them in the future.

Highest recommendations are earned- not given lightly. Every business transaction has two parts; the process and the outcome. With a previous contractor, I had a decent outcome, but the process was excruciating. Not the case with Traver Construction. Both Doug Traver and Neil Buble are consummate professionals. They "know everything," deliver on time and on budget, and only employ the highest quality trades people. The workmanship in our home is first-rate. There were no short-cuts, and everything was done correctly the first time. We are still "pinching ourselves" over how smoothly and perfectly this job was executed! Neil handled the majority of our project. He communicated frequently and effectively, answered every question, explained every process, and was on site. Both Doug and Neil are kind people. They listened to what we needed and wanted. They engendered an enormous amount of trust - and trust is everything.

We had Traver Construction do two projects for us and have been extremely happy with the process as well as the results. Both Doug and Neal are very professional and personable. The sub contractors were skilled in their crafts and very neat. We are planning another project for the fall and will definitely use Traver Construction again.

Traver Construction took available attic space and created a climate controlled storage area and an additional larger area that is not climate controlled. From the beginning of the project they were very professional and impressive to work with at every step. I was impressed with their knowledge and expertise. The project manager, Neil was fantastic to work with and so responsible. He was always available if we had any questions and very easy to work with. He went above and beyond to help us each step of the way. We were very pleased with the end result and are enjoying the extra storage space in our home.

Doug Traver represents the pinnacle of excellence in the high end remodeling industry in the Dallas area. Having worked for Doug over the past 18 plus years, I've seen first hand his unwavering desire for perfection in all aspects of his projects; from design, to final finishes. His clients experience the best the industry has to offer.

Our latest Traver Construction project was the master bath and closet. Looks great. Good architectural design advice as well a what makes sense financially to the project. They have great sub contractors - I always felt comfortable when they were in my house. Always good communication with Doug and Neil. Appreciate all their honest input! They have also done a kitchen, 2 baths remodel, outdoor cabana, replaced some windows and complete house painting for us.

If you are looking for someone who is extremely knowledgeable and who takes meticulous care of his clients, than Doug Traver is your man. I've had the pleasure to work with Doug and just being around him makes me elevate my game. Attention to detail and lots of planning and forethought make his projects a success.

We have used Doug Traver and his team for two different projects, and have been so happy with both of them! They did a home office for us, and then our game room, which included reworking a bar and a large built in. They have high quality work, complete projects in a timely manner, and everyone was wonderful to work with. We will use them whenever we have any more remodeling projects in our home!

I am a Kitchen & Bath designer ( CMKBD & ASID) and have had the opportunity to work with Doug Traver on several projects. Doug is very detail oriented, professional and couteous in his dealings with his subcontractors and more importantly, his clients. Doug is one of the most ethical and honest contractors that I have had the priviledge to work with in this area. I only wish that we had more projects together. I would highly reccommend Doug and his company for any remodel or addition to your home.You can rest assured that it will be top notch and worhty of publication on Houzz!!!
