About Us
The Daniels Design and Remodeling Company have been building an outstanding reputation since
1997, by applying the Golden Rule and earning our client’s trust – one project
at a time. After President Ted Daniels had spent a number of years working for other builders
and architects, he decided to found a firm to create his own unique style. His hands on experience
in a multitude of aspects of the building trade have provided a rich foundation for the Corporation.
The company is a full-service design build firm. Our capabilities provide a complete start-to-finish
package from the beginning of the first general ideas to the completion of the total project.
Our design staff, production staff and administrative staff all work in concert to insure our
clients receive the highest quality of service during each segment of the construction process. Our
paramount goal is to offer complete remodeling services with the highest level of professional
service, while developing our relationship through effective communication and efficient management. We
believe that a project is only fully completed after the expectations of our clients are totally
met.
As active participating members of The National Association of
the Remodeling Industry we wholeheartedly subscribe to its Code of Ethics as "We
pledge to observe the highest standards of honesty, integrity, and responsibility in the
conduct of business."
Realizing that a remodeling project is only as good as the
people who build it, we take extreme pride in the competency, conscientiousness,
and congenial personalities of our staff.
