Sadly I have to change my review on this company. Dura Design & Build stay away from them. I signed a contract for an addition with DURA/EZER thinking that it was a good company but boy was I wrong. The slab he poured is not square or level which makes the walls not level and square. The roof trusses were ordered 100% incorrect of his drawings, I have exposed 2x6's sticking out over an inch on the bottom plates, the plumbing is incorrect honestly... I don't know what else to say the entire project is a complete disaster. When I brought up my issues and concerns he literally told me "I had too high

Dura Architecture did a wonderful job designing our church's new building. They designed a space that is beautiful, welcoming, and that utilized every square inch with which we had to work. Danny Garcia was a pleasure to work with and was extremely generous with his time and abilities. Thanks Dura!

We used Dura to coordinate some repair work and at the same time address some issues that were out of scope in our previous remodel. They did both the design and construction. It was a smooth and pleasant process, no glitches. Very satisfied with the end result and the cost.
