Testimonials

“My experience with DBS Group was a 10 out of 10. I’d never built a commercial building before; it has a lot of moving parts and numerous small details that I didn’t even consider. When they said it would be ready by October 25, I thought it’d probably be more like January. But it was completed exactly on October 25. It was a complete turnkey, and it turned out gorgeous. I will use them again and have already referred them to others.”

“Working with DBS Group was a very pleasant experience. During the design phase, we had ideas about what we wanted, and DBS Group did the groundwork, always sharing additional options and cost comparisons along the way to help us make informed decisions. They were straightforward about what would work and what wouldn’t, and their approach allowed us to stay focused on our day-to-day operations throughout construction. We are already discussing other projects with them. DBS Group is our first choice.”

“Working with DBS Group has been a wonderful experience. They listened to our vision, goals and aspirations and took it to heart. And they helped us every step of the way, connecting us with stakeholders and people who have the resources to help. They also did all the legwork to make it easy for the city to approve our project. From the bankers to the city and others involved in the project, all said DBS Group is on top of their game and knows their stuff. They did an amazing job of making it a smooth process and went far beyond what we expected. We are already recommending them to others and will definitely work with them again on our next project.”

“Our experience working with DBS Group was absolutely amazing. The project manager stayed on top of everything and kept the project moving, making sure everything was done right. They were completely transparent, especially with the pricing, and they adjusted the timeline to meet our needs. When we were finished, we wanted to figure out what we could build next, so we could work with them again. That’s how good they are.”

“DBS Group remodeled our apartments into a cozy café and did an outstanding job for us. I was most impressed with their attention to detail and their professionalism through the design process to the actual construction. They involved us in the design and pointed out things we would have never thought about. They were organized in their approach, kept us updated on progress, and always asked us what would work best for us. The job site was always clean and didn’t negatively impact our other restaurant next door. We have worked with other design-build firms in the past, and this was a whole different experience. We would definitely recommend and call DBS for any future projects we might consider.”

“We’ve worked with other developers and contractors in the past, and nobody is as organized as DBS was. They kept all of the subcontractors on task and on time and communicated with us throughout. They were on our side and gave us that personal touch. I feel like it’s more of a friendship now than a business transaction. If you want a headache-free experience and fair pricing, I definitely recommend them.”

“This was my first time building anything, and I would 100% recommend/work with DBS again. They made the building process very easy and stress-free. I really enjoyed how inclusive they let me be throughout the design and construction process. My field manager, Kevin, was fantastic to work with. He kept everyone on task and was always happy to walk through and answer all my questions about the process. All in all, I could not have asked for a better company to help me build my family business to succeed for many years to come!”

“Working with DBS Group is wonderful. They listen carefully, deliver what I need when they say they will, and consistently exceed my expectations. The way they work as a team is especially impressive; that’s something I really appreciate about them. My customers, my staff, and I love what they do in our restaurants. I would recommend them to anyone. In fact, I already have!”

“Working with DBS Group was wonderful. Their attention to detail and timeliness were exceptional, and they were personable and professional. They were very sensitive to our needs, especially as we continued working with clients throughout our renovation. I’ve had several contracting experiences, and this was one of the best.”

—Elizabeth Sarkaria

“When we need a new facility or to renovate an existing one, we always turn to DBS Group -- and they always deliver on time and on budget. Their client service is unmatched; they're reliable, keep us well-informed, and make the process as easy as possible for us. This is a company that is 100% committed to clients and truly dedicated to excellence.”

—Bill Torrance

“The people at DBS Group were pleasant and professional. They facilitated the project well, managing all the logistics and taking care of any issues that came up during the process. They also kept us well-informed on progress and next steps and produced high-quality work. Most importantly, we now have a beautiful facility to share with our clients, customers and community.”

—Kirsten Tangen
Joy Ridge Event Center

“Our experience with DBS Group was positive throughout the inquiry, planning, selection, build and final detailing. We were impressed by the knowledge of each specialist and how each had a smooth handoff to the next stage leader. The project was finished on time, which is almost unheard of, and it was free from the frustrations that every other build customer expects and despises. Every member of the DBS team was responsive and pleasant to work with, without exception.”

—Catherine McBride

“I had an excellent experience working with DBS Group. They understand how to structure a large build and keep it relatively low-stress and trouble-free for the owner. They were phenomenal in handling the details, so I didn’t have them dropping on me. We built our facility during COVID, and they thought out of the box to keep us moving despite materials shortages. They’re a professional organization with good people. They’re fair and make it work for everybody. It was nice to have a partner in my project rather than just a contractor.”

—Lavon (Spanky) Felton

“When we met with DBS Group, they laid out a plan that worked for us and then followed through on everything they said they would do. We had very few surprises on the project. When they did occur, DBS Group communicated them well and had a plan to solve them. As a preschool, we needed to market six months before the project was finished, and hitting our completion date was critical for the families depending on us. Even with supply chain issues and labor shortages, DBS Group got the job done on schedule.”

—Brant Dennis

“The people at DBS Group really worked together as a team, not just with each other but with me as well. They’re very knowledgeable, and their customer service is excellent. They kept me organized and updated, making the entire process easier — which was especially helpful as I was still running another facility. And while they’re very professional, they also brought good humor to our interactions, making the project more enjoyable. If I were to build another facility, I would hire them — hands down.”

—Jamie Smith
Beehive Homes of Eau Claire

“DBS Group managed our project well. They shared ideas we wouldn’t have thought of and ensured everything stayed on track for a timely completion. They also identified and addressed issues before they became problems. Overall, I felt like I didn’t need to be there every day because I could trust them to think the way the owner would. I definitely recommend them for new construction projects.”

—Lindsay Spitzer
Bluff View Bank

“Everybody loves great customer service, and that’s what DBS Group gave me. They’re thorough, detailed, responsive and professional. The fact that they offer all-in-one services with the design-build helped greatly in getting everything I needed for my bank and attorney to figure out the financing. DBS Group stayed firm on their dates and delivered as promised. They also keep you informed and involved in the process as much as you want to be informed and involved. Like most business owners, I’m a pretty busy person, and they took away a lot of the work and worry involved in building my new location.”

—Dr. Chad Schultz

“Working with DBS Group was a great experience. They were professional, efficient, and the communication was exceptional. Every member of their team was pleasant to work with. I was impressed with the management of an aggressive timeline for our project. DBS Group runs a first-class operation.”

—Jake Erickson

“DBS Group was very professional, and they really worked hard on getting our project done on time and within budget. If we had questions, they took care of us immediately. If we weren’t sure about something, they sat down and explained it all the way through. They were especially good at working with all the different contracts involved and keeping us up to date. I definitely recommend them.”

—Jim Zupcancich

“Partnering with DBS group was the best decision for my business. All the professionals I interacted with there were courteous and treated my project like it was their own. Their communication was proactive, and they educated me to help make smart decisions as the project progressed. Our project manager and superintendent had an incredible say/do ratio. When they committed to outcomes and progress, they consistently delivered. I highly recommend DBS group for businesses looking to stay on-time and on-budget!”

—Mike Sokol
The Goddard School

“What I enjoy about DBS Group is how well they prepare before the projects begin. They put a plan together and hammer it all out, so once the project gets going, it’s pretty smooth. I’ve had contractors who’ve been late, and it’s cost me money. DBS Group is always, always, always ahead of schedule. It’s a good group of people to work with. They communicate well and are very professional.”

—Mike Baird

“DBS Group made a large project for a small business very manageable. We were impressed with other similar grocery projects they had completed in the Midwest, and from the very first meeting, we were very pleased with the personal, but the professional approach they had to construction management, and we felt they would be a great fit to our second ground up grocery store project. Our job superintendent from DBS Group worked long hours to be there every step of the way, and we met regularly with the rest of the DBS team to ensure we stayed on time and on budget. We would enthusiastically recommend DBS Group for any commercial construction project and will certainly involve them on any future projects of our own!”

“DBS Group is very thorough, very professional, and they know their craft. They’re excellent at defining the scope, asking all the questions needed in order to understand what the job is going to be, and they’re exceptional communicators throughout the process. I absolutely recommend them.”

—Rusty Simpson

“Working with DBS Group has been wonderful. It’s really about the people. Their attention to detail and quality has always been top-notch. They often recognize when we overlook a project detail, suggest a solution and correct it for us. They give personal attention to every project, and they’re always very responsive. I look less at them as a general contractor and more as an extension of our team.”

—Derrick Matter

“DBS Group makes my job very easy. They answer every question I have, and when I run into a problem, they help me solve it. They go a long way to get to know me, what I do and how to communicate with me so they can better serve me. I recommend them absolutely.”

—Wesley Tuley

“DBS Group’s work on our addition was phenomenal, from design through construction. They sat down with us in the beginning, learned what we wanted and needed and planned it all out so we could meet our very short time frame. The project manager was there every day and was a great communicator, letting us know what was going on throughout construction. Also, a big factor for us is that we wanted the addition to look like it was part of the original building. We get a lot of comments now from customers who say it looks like it was always meant to be there. We’re very pleased with the end product.”

—Jim & Cathy Berge

“Working with DBS Group was easy. Whenever you’re doing a construction project, a million things will pop up. Each time issues arose, the team did a really good job at collaborating and coming up with solutions, putting us at ease. They’re a highly professional group to work with, one that has transparent, fair pricing and that worked to make sure we were completely satisfied. If you choose them, you’re going to be happy with the end product.”

—Brad Olson

“Working with DBS Group was great. It was a really smooth, issue-free process. They helped guide me through each step, showing me different ideas and options that would work, and then they kept me part of the process. I was really happy with the accuracy of the estimates, the efficiency and experience as a whole.”

—Joel Barclay

“Working with DBS Group was a flawless experience. They took my floor plan concept, turned it into an actual building plan and then implemented the entire plan. The relationship with the people was excellent, the price was fair, and what they promised was delivered on time and on budget. DBS Group was very professional, easy to communicate with and very responsive. If anything, they helped me stay focused. I could not have been more happy.”

—Tom Arendt

“Working with DBS Group was the best experience we’ve ever had with a contractor. They were professional, honest and truly wanted what was best for us, which gave us a greater trust and comfort level with them. And the quality of the work matched the level of service. Building a new commercial building is much easier when the whole burden is not on you as the owner. DBS Group treated our project like it was their own building.”

—Kim & Kelly Kessler

“Working with DBS Group is easy. They listen, they react, and they have a can-do attitude. We sometimes set difficult timelines, but they always meet our deadlines and accomplish what we need. They’re also very professional. When you work with DBS Group, you won’t be disappointed. You know you’ll be taken care of.”

—Mark Skogen

“DBS Group is our go-to resource when building and remodeling our stores. As experts in design-build and retail, we can count on them to provide optimal quality architectural and building services and to do it on time and on budget.”

—Phil Downing

“We can’t thank you enough for how much you and all the staff at DBS Group did for our company. You may have thought that doing our build-out was just another construction project, but your team went above and beyond! Not only did you do a fantastic construction build-out, but you helped with so many things that came up that without your expertise and guidance, we would have been lost. As a new business owner, we put our faith in others and hope they do a good job. We are so happy we put our faith in DBS Group. I would highly recommend you to any business owner who is looking for an expert in commercial building.”

—Todd and Mary Smith
Clothes Mentor

“[For] the buildout for our La Crosse office, not only were we looking for design and quality, but we were also looking to be on budget; DBS Group didn’t disappoint. Everyone I spoke with throughout the process knew exactly where we were, and they continued to be responsive even after we moved into our updated office. Everyone genuinely cared about our project, and I had no reservations that they were handling every detail efficiently and professionally. I couldn’t appreciate them more.  Any time I have a new project, they will be my first call, no question.”

—Jennifer Zahari

“When we needed to build a new store, the choice for us was clear: we wanted DBS Group as our partners. The people at DBS Group know their stuff, are excellent to work with and guide us through every decision, every aspect of our projects. They consistently exceed our expectations. I recommend them highly.”

—Kevin Fossum

“DBS Group did an amazing job on every aspect of the David Reay's project from concept, to design, to build-out, to follow-up on project completion. An amazing group of professionals that I would highly recommend to anyone considering building a restaurant.”

—Matt Boschka
David Reay's Modern Diner + Tavern

“We’ve enjoyed working with the professionals at DBS Group. They hire and retain people of high character — not an ounce of arrogance or puffiness in any of them — and it’s great to work with people you enjoy. Also, I believe we are not their client; our customers are. We’re proud to partner with DBS Group to serve and enrich others’ lives.”

—Dave & Barb Skogen
Festival Foods, Dash-Park, David Reay’s Modern Diner + Tavern

“DBS Group really cared. They put in a lot of time and effort to determine what we needed on the front end, so everything was easier on the back end. They are professional and deliver a quality product on time and on budget. I absolutely recommend them.”
