I had a great experience with Drat Construction LLC. Gene and Stephen did an excellent job replacing two doors for me. They were professional, efficient, and the quality of their work was top-notch. Both were respectful of my home, ensuring everything was clean and tidy once the job was completed. I highly recommend them for any construction or home improvement needs.

Details: Exterior door, like a front or patio door • 2 doors • Standard • Mixed materials, like wood with windows • Yes, the new door replaces an existing door • No, I’ll purchase the door myself • Home

I purchased a flip home. Come to find out, the hired person took out load bearing walls and did not properly support the walls, ceiling or the roof. My closet doors were either havd to open or falling off. The "bones" of my home were popping. My ceiling in the living room was sagging about 6" and the numerous contractors that looked at the situation either didnt return phone calls or said this situation wasn't that bad - even though they all noticed the bubbles in the roof/shingles. In comes my hero!!! Gene. He took 1 look and told me the roof is in peril of collapsing if there is a heavy snow or wind storm. He made the decision on his own to go go Menards and get some boards to brace the roof. He said and I quote: "I am not doing this for payment or for you to hire me, but I can not with a good conscious leave here knowing what I know". He put some temporary support up in the most dangerous spots. While doing so for some broke 2x4 (?) that support the valley between 2 roofs. When he went outside to look at that area he found a 4" drop in the valley between the roof. Suffice to say that area was getting ready to fall in. All this because a DIY person who didn't have the knowledge about building and didnt pull permits or get an engineer to help. Gene completely rebuilt by attic with LVL's, 3 support beams vs. the 1 undersized and support beams between the roof and the beams. He is a life saver both figuratively and literally. The second part of the story is his incredible followup with my engineer, attorney and kansas city permitting. He will have pictures on his website before and after. Before I could walk the attic without hitting any 2x4 or beams. It was an open concept space. After, it looks like an attic where you have to dodge all of the support beams. What an attic should look like. A 5 star is not a high enough rating for what Gene and his son Steven did for me. Thank you Gene a million times over. Leiana Victor

I am extremely happy with the work completed by Drat. They are professional, punctual, and honest. Working on my garage project, Gene had a couple of recommendations that were spot on and even touched up on some extras that made my garage doors look much better. I highly recommend Drat and definitely will use their service again.

Details: Change the form or function of a portion of a room or structure • Garage • No existing plans, but have a good idea of what I want • No, the project is not covered by an insurance claim • As soon as possible

Drat Construction reshaped a cabinet for our house in order to install a new oven. They were extremely professional and explained the process to us before getting started, including creative solutions to some problems we encountered. I plan to use them for future jobs.
