“I went in today to grab some paint and the lady behind the counter was incredibly knowledgeable and super helpful. I've gotten home I have painted and now that it's dried I absolutely love the color. She really knows what she's talking about. Would definitely recommend this establishment for all your paint supplies!”
“We absolutely love our new deck built by David and his team at Daus! The quality of their workmanship is exceptional, and their attention to detail exceeded our expectations. From the beginning, they took the time to listen to our ideas and made sure every detail of our vision was brought to life. We specifically wanted black cable railings and rounded stairs, and the finished product turned out beautiful. Jared, the owner, was wonderful to work with—professional, responsive, and communicative throughout the entire project. He kept us informed every step of the way and made the process smooth and stress-free. If you’re considering a new deck, we highly recommend Daus Building Supply. Their craftsmanship, customer service, and commitment to quality are truly outstanding! We will be using them for future projects!”
