Brian,

Just wanted to take a minute to thank you and your team for the outstanding job you did on our new home. It’s a dream come true for my family and DL Miner made the building process pleasant and enjoyable. The level of accessibility, collaboration and communication with your Project Manager, Mike Pittman, and Site Foreman, Bob Miller, was extremely professional and very much appreciated. Together we made a great team!

Our home was built exceptionally well and has proven sound and sturdy against those powerful seashore gales. The craftsmanship and attention to detail exceeded our expectations. No issue was too small and your team openly welcomed and appreciated our thoughts, concerns and feedback all along the way.

There is an old say that goes “you get what you pay for” and I’m pleased to say that hiring DL Miner as our builder was well worth the investment.

Thanks again for helping us make our dream come true and for a great building experience.

We used D.L. Miner to build our full time residence in Ocean City New Jersey. From day one they set themselves apart from all of the other contractors we contacted. They were quick to respond and answer any questions we had. They provided us with many references which we reached out to, and everyone had nothing but rave reviews.

The construction process was made easy because of what sets D.L Miner apart from the competition which is not only the quality of workmanship but their highest level of communication, professionalism and organization.

Even now months after our home was finished they are still super responsive if we need anything. We highly recommend D.L. Miner and would use them again in the future.

When we first started thinking about building a new home on our family-owned lot in Stone Harbor, the whole process seemed almost too intimidating to begin. We were lucky that the first person we met was Brian Stuart. We had seen some of the DL Miner homes around the island and asked to meet with him. He spent about two hours with us and walked us through the steps we would need to take to make it happen. Nearly two years later, we put our architect’s plans out for bidding. Three outstanding builders submitted their bids but our experience with Brian and his team made us confident that we wanted Miner to build our house.

The next nine months were very exciting for us as we watched our dream house being built. We were very fortunate to have Dylin Hobbs as our project manager. Dylin was on site every day to supervise the various teams and report back to me and my wife about the progress. We had a contractor friend and his artist wife who served as our “design team.” My wife and I relied on this couple for their advice when it came to making all of the decisions about the interior of the house. Dylin warmly welcomed their input which put us at ease. We wanted a number of Southwestern details in the tiling of the bathrooms, the backsplash and the entry foyer and Dylin helped us get shipments of tiles from California and Texas. He was available to me literally every day and would respond to my emails and texts at any hour of the day. There were times that I would think of something at 11 o’clock on a Saturday night and he would answer. His responsiveness was very reassuring and he went out of his way to make sure that my wife and I were satisfied with every detail. We looked forward to the pictures he posted every Friday which showed the progress from that week. We would send them around to our family members to let them share our excitement.

Even as the project wound down and we began to move into our new home, Dylin remained available to help us with any questions we had. I now think of him as a good friend to us.

We love every detail of our new home. The quality of the workmanship is outstanding. Everything works perfectly and any small scratch or cracked tile was repaired or replaced before we moved in. Our experience with DL Miner was everything we hoped for.

Hi Brian…

Thanks a million for the fabulous renovation you and your staff did on our Stone Harbor home. We’ve built many homes, but never a complete renovation like this. The Team you selected for us to work with turned what many describe as an overwhelming experience into a pleasant process that never became stressful. Perhaps the most enjoyable part of this experience was working with top-notch people who understood quality makes a difference and anything could be done.

Simply put…”it’s all in the detail”. I’ll never forget the day I met you in your office and we went over the scope of the work. You carefully listened and considered every possible factor that could affect the quality of our home. I walked away after that meeting telling Jim, why would we think of working with another builder. Brian loves what he does and has a passion for making things right. I was impressed he understood… “it’s the detail that makes the difference”.

The Team and subcontractors all delivered the services entrusted to them. This epitomized the quality and craftsmanship D. L. Miner offers. The time estimates were extremely accurate and throughout our construction the Team was ahead of schedule. They always kept us informed with weekly email updates and best of all…“Friday photos” from the job site. Despite the adverse world conditions, The Team continued to move forward to complete the job as close to our target date as discussed.

Our beach home is everything we expected and more. We enjoy how each and every room makes sense for our family to relax and be together. It has everything possible for modern coastal living. People who come to visit say it feels like home. I say…” its all in the detail”!

Thank you Brian, Dylin, Christine and Dave. It has been a pleasure to work with all of you. We appreciate your hard work to create this spectacular home for us to enjoy for many years.

Brian,

Elizabeth and I would like to thank you, James Brown and the entire DL Miner team for going above and beyond what would be expected from a builder throughout the construction phase of our Stone Harbor beach home. Early in the process your team made creative suggestions to fine tune various design and construction details. Some adjustments proposed by DL Miner made our home more interesting and unique, others resulted in substantial cost savings. The finished product is outstanding and we are truly grateful that DL Miner’s staff and subcontractors gave so much thought to all of the elements that have made our home what it is.

I have been involved with many construction projects, and am aware that every project has its challenges. Builders often do not take responsibility for issues that arise, and take advantage of opportunities to generate change orders. Your team had the “we will make it right” attitude throughout the process and took responsibility for construction challenges that many builders would try to pin on others. DL Miner made us feel like this project was the first of many that we would build together.

DL Miner finished our home on schedule and within the original budget and we could not be more pleased with your work. Our experience with your property management team after move in has also been positive and we look forward to continuing with that service going forward. Elizabeth and I would highly recommend DL Miner to anyone seeking to build a custom home at the shore.

Dear Brian:

Our decision to buy property and build a home in Cape May was an exciting new adventure for us. However, we were tentative about navigating the approval process in Cape May as well as finding the right construction company for the project. We chose DL Miner for several reasons: they had in place highly organized and professional processes, they worked seamlessly with our architect, and they responded quickly and with an open mind to our requests and questions.

Jim Barnes, our Project Manager made all this happen. Jim and his team navigated the initial approval process with Cape May and kept the project on schedule. Jim had great suggestions throughout the build as we worked through the many choices that had to be made throughout the build. Many thanks to Jim, Bob Miller, Willie, Fernando, and the team members in office support for their engagement and professionalism. We love our new home in Cape May and have the entire DL Miner team to thank for making it such a success.

Brian,

Diana and I are thrilled with our new home in Cape May, NJ . This was unchartered territory for us, as we did not have any experience building a custom home. The entire process from design to completion was a pleasure.

Every step and every detail were accounted for in an organized and well-documented fashion. The workmanship was outstanding and DL Miner had the ability to take our thoughts, photos and ideas and produce a quality home.

Over this past year, we have had many inquiries regarding our architect and builder. We would recommend DL Miner to anyone without reservation and with sincere pleasure.

We would highly recommend Brian Stuart and D.L. Miner for any construction project. We used them to tear down and construct a large high-end project in Avalon. We also renovated an investment property.

They were a pleasure to work with on both. Our home turned out beautifully and we are very happy with it. They were great about advising us on what we should do to make it more marketable as well as keeping within a defined budget. The quality of their work is wonderful.

We currently use them for property management, which gives us peace of mind that the house will stay in good condition. We would not hesitate to recommend them to others or use them again for any project large or small.

Brian,

What a great pleasure it has been to work with you and your DL Miner staff during this exciting Stone Harbor project. As first time home builders, we commenced the project uncertain of the process only to come out the other end elated with the finished product. Your impressive team patiently explained every detail of the project and offered multiple options on each of them. Your team worked closely with us and our North Jersey architects 24/7 to make sure nothing was overlooked. We benefited from your invaluable expertise on marine environment construction and materials, borough ordinances, reputable subs, etc. You graciously facilitated deliveries of all kinds on-site and at your shop. And you listened carefully to each of our concerns, helped us work through them and waited until we were ready to proceed. We could not be happier to have chosen DL Miner to build the home we have always dreamed of. The quality of our home is a testament to your professionalism and we wouldn’t hesitate for a moment to re-up with DL Miner for round two. Stay tuned!

With our sincere thanks for making it possible,
- RD and SD,

We want to tell you how happy we have been working with you during the construction of our new home in Avalon, NJ. It has been a pleasure working from start to finish with your team. Having to travel almost two hours to NJ was made easy with your constant phone calls, emails, pictures and updates that we felt as if we were there every day. The level of detail was apparent when we received your proposal. The continued detail in answering our questions, giving suggestions, addressing budgets and constant connection made the building of our home seamless.

Jim, you have continued to follow up and make sure we have no concerns or unfinished matters. We are confident that we can contact you in the future and you will be just as helpful and diligent. The final product is beautiful and we look forward to creating many special memories in our new home. We also look forward to working with the D. L. Miner Property Management team for all-season home maintenance.

Thank you and know we would be pleased to refer D. L. Miner Construction for any future projects.

All the best,
- M M,

Dan, Barbara and I thank you for all your work calling, texting, searching, finding, scheduling, cajoling, supporting, carrying and even sweeping. You have been at the table since the beginning of the project, one year ago. Surely without your work, this house could not have been done in less than a year.

We appreciate how you are always available and responsive 24/7. You made sure things got delivered and done. We consider you not as our builder, but as our friend. That made working with you a pleasure.

With many thanks,
- B B,
- Avalon
Don, thank you. It has been a wonderful 18 years. You are the best home builder I have ever dealt with. I wish you great success. If you ever need a reference or I can do anything for you please call on me and J. You have always been there for us. Blessing to you, you are a great person, business man, and friend.

I wanted to write and thank you for the professional expertise and attention to detail that D. L. Miner provided during the construction of our residence in Avalon.

We feel fortunate to have found a builder that is knowledgeable, responsible, and able to provide the attention to detail that will continually enhance the beauty of our home.

Thank you and I would not hesitate to recommend D. L. Miner to prospective home builders.

Best regards,

We wanted to write this note to convey our thoughts on D. L. Miner and Dan Ball who completed a renovation of our home in Stone Harbor, NJ during 2016. We have completed several home projects over the years in various locations and can say without reservation that Dan Ball and DL Miner were a pleasure to work with. Their honesty, respect, and good ideas brought to the project were greatly appreciated. The way they dealt with and handled unforeseen existing conditions with poise and directness was helpful. The quality of the workmanship and finishing was excellent as was the quality of the people that worked on the project. The people were friendly and accommodating and they really care about the quality of their work. The finished project is beautiful and we are extremely pleased with the outcome.
We highly recommend Dan Ball and D. L. Miner for a new build or renovation. The next time we have a building project we won’t even bother speaking with anyone else. We will use Dan and D. L. Miner.
Sincerely,
- T B,

Didi and I want to thank you and your entire staff for building our home on the bay in Stone Harbor. From the moment we first discussed this project with you in June 2015 until we moved into our home in mid-May (ahead of schedule), it’s been a pleasure to work with you and your team. Everybody we have dealt with has been prompt, pleasant, and respectful. When we have had questions or if an issue arose during the process, we received quick attention with a focus upon getting it right.

The subcontractors you used on this project are like an extension of your company. They were great. It’s been about 10 weeks since we moved into our home and we are so glad we had this home built by DL Miner.

Thanks!
- B S,

Thank you, thank you, thank you. What can I say, other than it’s perfect. Angie and I have been dreaming of this house since we married 19 years ago today. It was worth the wait.

PS – The kids may be happier than we are.

The quality of their workmanship is first-rate and all follow-up matters have been attended to in a timely manner. Our overall impression is that the key members of the D.L. Miner construction staff take personal pride in the finished project – almost like it is their own home.

We urge anyone considering building at the shore to consider D.L. Miner. We can recommend them highly without reservation.
- K and E W,
- Stone Harbor
D.L. Miner’s final product is impeccable. Their workmanship is some of the finest we have seen. They were able to build our house in the time frame we requested; they continue to follow up should any matter arise, and we are delighted that we chose them to build our house. First impressions, in this case, are legitimately quite impressive.
- E and R S,
- Avalon
We would highly recommend Don and his staff for any project in Avalon. He developed accurate budget numbers and followed through to meet them. There are several other very good builders for high-end projects in the area, but some of them would not even commit to developing a budget before we began and simply wanted to work on a time and material basis, which is likely to end up being much more expensive than someone who commits to a number and does what it takes to meet it.
- M R,

I don’t know where to begin in thanking you all because the beach house was completed way ahead of time and turned out better than I ever expected!

You all are the best!

The building of our home in Stone Harbor by D.L. Miner Construction Co. was an enjoyable experience for us. Diana and I enjoyed working with you and the entire D. L. Miner team.

Anne and I would like to thank you for a wonderful experience while refurbishing our condominium. The work of D.L. Miner was everything we had heard about and more. The attention to detail was always present. Jim, you were amazing. Anne and I called you the magician because you did earn the title. You always made it happen and always with a smile.

We enjoyed working with you and now consider you our friend.
- A and TG,
Now that we have been in our home in Avalon for a little over a year, I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you and all of your staff and subcontractors for making the difficult task of constructing our home a pleasant and rewarding experience. The quality and the workmanship produced by you and your team is outstanding and speaks for itself.
- F M M,

We also appreciated the way Jim kept us informed at every stage on a regular basis. His continual communication left nothing to chance. Once the project got underway, we were amazed at how swiftly and smoothly things moved along. Each stage completed in a timely manner and never dragged out. Despite all the activity in our home during the renovations, our house was left pristine, as great care was taken to protect flooring and furniture.
- V and B L,

We have just finished our first season in the new house “that Brian built.” I cannot tell you how thrilled we are with the work you did – not only is it exactly what we wanted – but delivered ahead of time and under budget!

Brian, you deserve the fullest credit for the outstanding job you did on our spectacular home.

Given the completion of my house in Avalon, I wanted to let you know how pleased I was with my decision to retain D.L. Miner Construction. I had never built a new house before, but certainly had heard horror stories from many, and came to the project with some trepidation. The experience was such an enjoyable one, however, I actually would love to do it again.

Bob and I can hardly find the words to express our appreciation for D.L. Miner Construction’s work on our beautiful bay front home. You have made our dream a stunning reality.

The building of our home in Stone Harbor by D. L. Miner Construction was an enjoyable experience for us. Diana and I enjoyed working with the entire D. L. Miner team.

Miner to anyone interested in building on 7 Mile Island and for that matter anywhere.

We highly recommend Dan Ball and D. L. Miner for a new build or renovation. The next time we have a building project we won’t even bother speaking with anyone else. We will use Dan and D. L. Miner.
Sincerely,

Didi and I want to thank you and your entire staff for building our home on the bay in Stone Harbor. From the moment we first discussed this project with you in June 2015 until we moved into our home in mid-May (ahead of schedule), it’s been a pleasure to work with you and your team. Everybody we have dealt with has been prompt, pleasant, and respectful. When we have had questions or if an issue arose during the process, we received quick attention with a focus upon getting it right.

The subcontractors you used on this project are like an extension of your company. They were great. It’s been about 10 weeks since we moved into our home and we are so glad we had this home built by DL Miner.

Thanks!

Thank you, thank you, thank you. What can I say, other than it’s perfect. Angie and I have been dreaming of this house since we married 19 years ago today. It was worth the wait.

PS – The kids may be happier than we are.

The quality of their workmanship is first-rate and all follow-up matters have been attended to in a timely manner. Our overall impression is that the key members of the D.L. Miner construction staff take personal pride in the finished project – almost like it is their own home.

We urge anyone considering building at the shore to consider D.L. Miner. We can recommend them highly without reservation.

D.L. Miner’s final product is impeccable. Their workmanship is some of the finest we have seen. They were able to build our house in the time frame we requested; they continue to follow up should any matter arise, and we are delighted that we chose them to build our house. First impressions, in this case, are legitimately quite impressive.

We would highly recommend Don and his staff for any project in Avalon. He developed accurate budget numbers and followed through to meet them. There are several other very good builders for high-end projects in the area, but some of them would not even commit to developing a budget before we began and simply wanted to work on a time and material basis, which is likely to end up being much more expensive than someone who commits to a number and does what it takes to meet it.

I don’t know where to begin in thanking you all because the beach house was completed way ahead of time and turned out better than I ever expected!

You all are the best!

Thank you all for making my vacation home such a pleasant place to be!

The building of our home in Stone Harbor by D.L. Miner Construction Co. was an enjoyable experience for us. Diana and I enjoyed working with you and the entire D. L. Miner team. We continually appreciated the professionalism of all contributors to the high quality work being performed over and over again as the home was being constructed.

Anne and I would like to thank you for a wonderful experience while refurbishing our condominium. The work of D.L. Miner was everything we had heard about and more. The attention to detail was always present. Jim, you were amazing. Anne and I called you the magician because you did earn the title. You always made it happen and always with a smile.

We enjoyed working with you and now consider you our friend.

Now that we have been in our home in Avalon for a little over a year, I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you and all of your staff and subcontractors for making the difficult task of constructing our home a pleasant and rewarding experience. The quality and the workmanship produced by you and your team is outstanding and speaks for itself.

We also appreciated the way Jim kept us informed at every stage on a regular basis. His continual communication left nothing to chance. Once the project got underway, we were amazed at how swiftly and smoothly things moved along. Each stage completed in a timely manner and never dragged out. Despite all the activity in our home during the renovations, our house was left pristine, as great care was taken to protect flooring and furniture.

We have just finished our first season in the new house “that Brian built.” I cannot tell you how thrilled we are with the work you did – not only is it exactly what we wanted – but delivered ahead of time and under budget!

Brian, you deserve the fullest credit for the outstanding job you did on our spectacular home. From start to finish you distinguished yourself with your expertise, honest and precise communication skills and attention to cost and detail. We would be happy to share our overwhelming positive experiences whenever helpful to you.

Warmest wishes for continued success,

Given the completion of my house in Avalon, I wanted to let you know how pleased I was with my decision to retain D.L. Miner Construction. I had never built a new house before, but certainly had heard horror stories from many, and came to the project with some trepidation. The experience was such an enjoyable one, however, I actually would love to do it again.

In the six months we worked together, the team at D.L. Miner consistently exceeded my expectations in terms of their creativity and their dedication to quality – while respecting my budget constraints.

I can heartily recommend this company.
