CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING.
“It was a pleasure working with Everett, Patty and the team at DreamMaker! From design to completion of two bathrooms remodeling projects, the DreamMaker team made dragging our house out of the 80’s a positive experience! On the job site, Tommy, Hal and Miguel were courteous, conscientious and made sure the site was cleaned up daily. When sub-contractors were present, they also showed the same professionalism. Stevie worked behind the scenes making sure all of the materials were ordered and delivered in a timely manner and Charlene was very helpful in the design phase of the projects. My husband and I would definitely recommend DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen!” – Marilyn Fowler
“I would like to express my complete satisfaction to DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen for the remodel of my bathroom. Your work has exceeded all of my expectations and I would highly recommend DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen to my friends for a bathroom or kitchen remodel. Of special note, I would like to thank Tommy, Hal, and Travis for their professional attitude and work. The remodel was completed ahead of schedule and with no impact on my daily routine. Tommy made sure I was always up to date on the progress of the remodel and answered any questions I had. Hal and Travis took extra good care of my home, working nonstop throughout the day. The completed remodel reflects the knowledge and skills of these three men. On my next remodel job, I would want these same three men to do the remodel. I am sure they contribute in a large part to the positive reputation that you enjoy in Bakersfield. Thank you for a job well done!”

“We did not know who to turn to or who to trust. We decided to go to Bakersfield Home and Garden show where we met DreamMaker of Bakersfield. We soon found out that DreamMaker was a full service building contractor/remodeler that we could trust. The step by step planning process to make sure everything was understood and that our desires were expressed in the final design went extremely well. The day construction was to begin, we met Tommy and Harold who were complete in the demolition process, but were very careful not to let the demolition process harm any adjoining room. After each time they worked in the house, they cleaned up the mess before they left each day and they made sure the dust was controlled and confined to the bathroom remodel. Tommy and Harold made sure each step in the remodeling process was professionally complete before the next process began. I thank them for taking ownership for the whole construction process, which made the final results most pleasing and satisfying to my wife and I. Tommy also worked well with our local building inspector. All in all, I consider DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Bakersfield to be my personal building contractor/remodeler that I can trust to do a professional remodel that is done right. Signed a Very Satisfied Customer.” – Jim Siler
“Just a quick note to say how pleased we are with the recent remodel of our kitchen and great room. The entire team working on our project were skilled craftsmen. Any an all of my phone calls were promptly returned and all issues resoiiJed. The finished project was beyond our expectations and we would recommend the Dreammaker team to anyone considering a remodel. Thank you Tommy for your attention to detail, it really shows in our beautiful new kitchen and great room.” – Bill and Barbara Johnston
“With the completion of the total renovation of our one and three quarter bathrooms of our Haley Street home we see our Dream baths have come true. During the planning and design stage Mel Fox was attentive to the image we had in our heads, but on the basis of his knowledge and experience he gently guided us along. His suggestions were invaluable as the final result amply proves. The execution of the plans were ably coordinated by Tommy and his
very competent crew and subcontractors. Hal’s technical skills were expected, but he surprised us with his artistic skill in designing the window frames.
Tommy deserves a special handshake in gratitude for keeping us informed and always returning our calls. Several craftsmen mentioned Tommy’s “eagle-eye” for detecting minor imperfections expecting to be called back if their work didn’t satisfy him.
As everyone committed to a home improvement project knows, second only to cost is the expected stress which accompanies the project right up to the day of completion. In this project there was no stress. Having workers out of the house before five, daily work-place clean-up and craftsmen showing up on time on a prearranged schedule was wonderful. Early on we discovered that the trust we placed in the DreamMaker organization was well founded. All the DreamMaker folks deserve a “well done.” – Frank and Leila Espinoza
“Although I at first hesitated to approach DreamMakers about my bathroom renovation, (because I thought they’d be out of my price-range), I was very pleasantly surprised when Patty and Everett began working with me to design a very beautiful and functional bathroom while staying within my budget. In fact, the project even came in UNDER budget, allowing me to upgrade my home in other areas. I was able to trust the workers to come into my home while I worked out-of-town, and everything was always clean, safe and secure when I returned. My phone calls were always returned, my questions always answered, and my expectations always exceeded. I would highly recommend DreamMakers to anyone seeking to remodel or renovate their premises.I frankly did not know where to start. Years ago, my former husband contracted with Home Depot to redo the kitchen we had at the time, so I initially started there.
However, I happened to be speaking to someone who used to work for Home Depot, and she told me that I would have to basically sub-contract everything myself and that it would be hit-and-miss. I didn’t want the headache of that. I was also afraid that I didn’t have any “taste” and was afraid my bathroom wouldn’t look nice at the end. I just wanted to be able to point at things I liked and have the contractor make it happen with a minimum of worry and running around. That’s what DreamMakers did for me. (I’d been seeing their ad in the paper and decided to call them for a “one-stop” operation.) With a minimum of hassle and Patty’s and Everett’s expert guidance and suggestions, my bathroom turned out better than my wildest dreams and it barely disrupted my life at all! Just thought I’d add this. I had previously made an appointment with an independent contractor I’d met when he installed my security screen door and waited patiently for him to be able to work me into his busy schedule. Finally, after many weeks, his office called to make an appointment for a specific day at a specific time. I raced home from work that day, down the mountain from Tehachapi, in order to be here on time but it turned out that he was a no-show. There was no call, no explanation: just me sitting here waiting. Didn’t they want my money? That same week, I contacted DreamMakers and it’s the best decision I could have made.” – Zoa Duffy
“When I finally decided to have a new kitchen my first thought was to visit DreamMaker for ideas only–but after talking with Patty and Everett I knew that they were the people to work with. I met with Mel Fox who created almost magic for my 1960’s tract house with a long narrow kitchen. Not only giving me more counter and storage, it seemed to open up the area near the antique table that is now the focus of the room. The crew, Tommy, Hal and Travis were fantastic–not only professional and efficient but never annoyed with my many questions. I now think of them as my friends. All of the people I dealt with (Valley Granite, Urner’s, etc.)were so helpful and there was never a delay in any of the work. I believe this was due to Tommy always being on top of everything. When the kitchen was finished, I immediately decided that DreamMaker was the only people to do the same wonderful work on my bathroom, which is in progress at this time. Thank you all for far exceeding my expectations!”

“I am writing this letter in regards to the kitchen remodeling project that was recently completed on my kitchen ceiling. I had a typical 1980’s fluorescent light fixture that encompassed the entire ceiling and although I had updated my kitchen with granite countertops, new appliances, and travertine floors, the antiquated lighting kept my kitchen from looking its best. After seeing a beautiful ceiling at the Bellagio Casino in Las Vegas, I was inspired. I took pictures, went to DreamMaker, spoke with Everett Gray and asked “Can you do this?” He confidently responded, they could do anything and thus the project began. I am extremely happy with the outcome. My kitchen ceiling is spectacular. I am hoping to add a bathroom and closet to my home in the near future and I will certainly be calling DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen.”

“To The Nice Folks at DreamMaker, We want to sincerely thank your entire staff for the beautiful job in remodeling our two bathrooms. The job was quite massive, but the professional level of work was excellent, efficient, and even pleasant. At a time when work of any kind is less than acceptable, it is refreshing to find people who take pride in their efforts. All the subcontracts were courteous and knowledgable. Tommy, the job superintendent, was beyond efficient; he seemed to anticipate our needs and desires.” – Stan and Kathryn O’Hara
“Hi Everett and Patty, Kathy and I wanted to send you a recommendation for Tommy. His professionalism, competency, and superior work were always above board. We feel that our kitchen remodel/renovation is timeless, and will be enjoyed by many for years to come. Tommy and his team members (Hal and Travis) can always be proud of this kitchen project in our home. We always feel food about our new kitchen. Many thanks to Tommy and his crew!!” – Dennis and Kathy McDonnell
“DreamMaker has done it again! Two years ago DreamMaker remodeled one of our bathrooms. They did such a good job so when we were ready to redo the 2nd bathroom there was no question. DreamMaker it was. The job is finished and the bathroom looks great. The sub contractors: Valley Granite, Atlas Plumbing and Rankin Electric did excellent work, showed up when they said they would and cleaned up after they were through. The “boys” from Dreammaker did their job well and Tommy kept us informed all the way. We knew what was going on and when to expect people. The cleaning lady sent to clean the finished bathroom did her job well. What a joy to work with these efficient people who know what they are doing. Thanks DreamMaker and Tommy.” – Dick and Carolyn Sloan
“I want to thank the entire staff at DreamMaker for their time and work spent on the remodeling of my master bath. Everyone, Hal, Travis, and others were very courteous and talented. Tommy, the foreman, made all the proper appointments for the contractors and personnel to be on the job in a timely manner. Tommy followed through by visiting the site and making any necessary calls when inspecting the work. This is one of the most important steps in any construction job. I am thrilled with the end results. My bathroom is beautiful!” – Karen Jett
“I recently entered into a contract with Dream Maker Kitchen and Bath to remodel my kitchen. I was pleased with all of the work performed. Everett, Patty and Mel consulted with me on a range of options and help me choose the best solution for my needs. Ray Ellen was very helpful with design options in the selection of materials and colors. Tommy did a great job of managing the schedule and overseeing the demolition, painting and the work. He saw that everything was completed on time. All the crews were professional. They cleaned up each day. The lady who did the general cleaning on the last day with exceptional. I was very pleased with all the work and would highly recommend Dream Maker.” – Beverly Hislop
“Thank you so much for the four-night cruise on Carnival Cruise line. John and I sailed during the Thanksgiving week school break, leaving on Monday and returning to Long Beach on Friday. We had never been to Catalina Island nor Ensenada and we had never been on a cruise together! John said the part he liked best was having a week of my mostly undivided attention. We left Hannah and Sam to keep the house running and had Thanksgiving on the ship and then had family Thanksgiving the following weekend.
We are shy people prone to motion sickness so we weren’t sure cruising would be for us. Scopalamine patches worked great and at the first show we were selected from the audience to be a VIP couple for the cruise. We got to know the cruise director well and we were favored for many perks — reserved seating at the shows, chocolate covered strawberries and champagne delivered to our cabin, complimentary wine with dinner, free bingo. Before the cruise was over most everybody was calling out, “Hey John and Sandy” as we passed. The weather was beautiful, the people on the cruise very family oriented and friendly, and the Carnival staff were top-notch in every way.
We were happy to return home to our beloved kitchen and our master bath, both designed by DreamMaker professionals. But what a lovely adventure where we could dance, sing karaoke, go to the spa, and Segway around Avalon. The whole experience was wonderful and we would never have embarked upon a cruise like this without your generosity. Blessed beyond belief.” – Sandy and John DeVera
“Dear Everett and Patty, What a joy to have my new walk-in tub! Your workmen were so courteous and friendly that it was easy to have them in my home. They were conscientious1y on time and cleaned up after they were finished. My bathroom looks like a spa with the tile so beautifully finished and matching my original tile. I will think of you every time I take my soothing bubbly bath. Thank you for being such a thoughtful business.” – Mickey Mauson
“Attending the DreamMaker seminar really inspired me to go ahead with getting my kitchen updated. I had been wanting to do it for years and had thought of going through one of the big stores; however, the reviews were so bad I was afraid to have it done. I read about the DreamMaker seminar on their website and decided to attend. I was so impressed with their whole team, I knew I would get the kitchen I wanted.
Having never done any remodeling before, I really appreciated their recommendations and being able to visualize the finished project. I could not be any happier. Having people that were experts in their field made me feel confident that I would not regret having my kitchen remodeled.” – Darlene Alley
