Why Homeowners Choose Us
Why Blackhawk homeowners
hire DMG
Hiring a contractor is mostly a question of whether the person quoting is the person who turns up. Here is what you get with us.
One in-house crew
The same faces from the first walkthrough to the final clean-up. No subcontractors, ever — so nobody shows up not knowing what was agreed.
The price in writing first
A detailed written proposal before anyone breaks ground, and a fixed price we hold to. No surprise change orders halfway through.
Built for Contra Costa clay
Deeper excavation, a compacted base that absorbs seasonal movement, and joints placed where the slab wants to crack. The reason our work is still flat years later.
Design and build together
One company draws it and one company builds it. Nothing gets lost in the handoff between a designer and whoever ends up holding the shovel.
A reply within 24 hours
Every enquiry answered within one business day, and a direct line to the person actually running your project once it starts.
Licensed and insured
Fully licensed and insured, with references a few streets away. Ask and we will point you at work you can go and look at.

Questions about working
in Blackhawk
Have a question we haven’t answered? Call or send a message — we respond within 24 hours.
Contact UsYes. Dimensioned plans, elevations, material specifications and samples in the form the association requires.
That is the association’s timeline rather than ours, so we will not promise a number. We prepare the submission early so the clock starts as soon as possible.
Generally depends on height, in addition to association review. California’s building code exempts walls up to four feet from the bottom of the footing to the top; above that a permit is normally required. We confirm with the county before designing.
Usually. Bring us the original material if you know it and we will source to match or tell you honestly if it is no longer made.
Depends on scope, access and review. Written schedule with the written price, both fixed before we start.
Serving Blackhawk
Thirty minutes, and prepared for the gate
We run out of Concord. Beyond the drive, working in a gated community means scheduling access, keeping the site tidy to a standard, and respecting hours — all of which we plan for rather than discover.
We are a design-and-build outfit, so one company handles the drawing, the earthwork, the hardscape and the planting. Every service below is ours — none of it is handed to a subcontractor once you have signed.
What We Run Into Here
What we run into
on these properties
Blackhawk lots have enough in common to plan for, and planning for it is most of the job.
Review comes first
Blackhawk’s architectural review is thorough, and a submission missing dimensioned drawings, elevations or material samples will not pass. We assemble it properly the first time.
Finish standard is the brief
On these properties the difference between acceptable and right is in joint lines, edge detail and how materials meet. That is craft time, and it is in the price rather than discovered later.
Access has rules
Gated access, delivery windows and working hours shape the schedule. We build that into the timeline instead of asking for exceptions later.

We cover most of
Contra Costa County
We run out of Concord, which puts nearly every town on this map inside a half-hour drive. That is the difference between a contractor who can walk your property this week and one who fits you in next month.
Not sure whether you are in range? Call and ask — and if we are not the right fit, we will usually know someone who is.
