“Daniel Kornguth did three remodeling jobs on my house. In each he responded to my requests to be conscientious with materials. Daniel advised me artistically on decisions to maximize my very small kitchen space. I appreciated the combination of his artistic eye and his technical skill. As I was on a tight budget, Daniel was careful to consult with me about intelligent ways to save money. His cost estimates were accurate and more than fair. His knowledge and expertise are apparent. Daniel left my home neat and clean, and was a pleasure to have in my house. I will absolutely call Daniel the next time I have a job and will gladly refer him to friends.” - Alexis Greenblatt, Northampton, MA
"Over the years Daniel Kornguth has done many projects for our family. These projects have ranged from built in bookcases to a two story addition. We value Daniel not only for his building expertise, but also, and maybe more, for his artistic vision. He is always willing and excited to look at a space with a great amount of creativity, seeing things in a way that most people do not. Daniel is a pleasure to work with and would be an asset to anyone considering a building project.” - Rebecca Seymour, Brattleboro, VT
