Projects undertaken have included high-rise, custom-residential and commercial work. To date, the experience has been very professional and work has been to the highest quality. The company operates under strong family principles, which result in unusual pride and commitment not common in the industry today.

"Lands End HOA retained Danto Builders to reconstruct the entrance walls of our community. It was a challenging project: small job site, existing mature landscape to maintain/protect, and utilities to avoid. They did an excellent job and were a pleasure to work with, from Craig and Debbie Danto, to Preconstruction head Mason and our project manager, Manny. Thank you all!"
Bruce Retzsch

"During my 28 years working with contractors in South Florida, I have never experienced such a smooth, problem-free transition from start to finish on any construction project of this magnitude. Danto Builders' supervision and coordination for the trades and subcontractors workmanship was excellent. They were proactive in problem solving, as all issues were resolved in the field without one documented problem. Inspections were conducted without any delay or rejection. The architect's final inspection found the project very much to his satisfaction, not one problem had surfaced from start to finish. Additionally, Danto Builders saved us $88,000. I would highly recommend Danto Builders for any construction jobs in the future."

When you took this job the home was a complete disaster from every aspect due to our previous builder's lack of knowledge, dedication and pride, something you displayed on a daily basis. Throughout the project we were amazed at how dedicated you were in ensuring quality workmanship, and making sure everything was exactly the way we wanted it.

Since the project's completion, we have received an overwhelmingly positive response.

"I want to thank Danto Builders again for putting in the extra effort in undertaking the Cuchina D'Angelo design and build project in the middle of the season. I couldn't believe that you got our Certificate of Occupancy within 40 days, given the average is three to four months! I was especially surprised that you were able to accomplish this given the scope of the work, including demolition, redesigning the kitchen and dining room and calling in an architect to draw 'as built' based on your design. The compliments that the Cuchina D'Angelo receives on its decor and finishes are directly contributed to the concepts, design and finishes of which you provided."

"This past year my wife and I had the pleasure of working with Craig Danto of Danto Builders. We are a brand new medical practice and we hired Craig and his team to convert a nonmedical building to a medical space. Our loan was an SBA loan which had some specific demands for the builder; Craig and his team were able to deliver in a timely manner an office that both meets our needs and expectations as well as that of the bank we were working with. They were timely, efficient and listened well to our request for changes when needed. Overall we were very satisfied and highly recommend Danto Builders for your next project."
