Rebuilding Lives Since 1992
Whether an incident impacts your home or business, we are there from start to finish, dedicated to quickly restoring your property so your life can get back to normal. Where other builders may delay, we hit the ground running by immediately boarding up and securing your home from any further damage and communicating with your insurance company for approvals on the scope of repairs. Need a property secured right now? We provide 24/7 board-up services in Sacramento and respond within 1 hour to most locations. Managing a commercial building or apartment complex? See our commercial restoration and apartment and multifamily reconstruction services.
Emergency & Board Up
DH Construction is contracted with multiple fire & police departments in our coverage area to be on call 24/7, every day of the year. We respond within 1 hour to most locations for these emergency services. After a fire or other disaster, a property is often left with gaping openings in the structure. We have dedicated vehicles fully stocked with necessary supplies to secure the property and prevent further damage/theft.
Fire Damage
Destruction caused by fire can be rapid and brutal. What isn’t completely destroyed reeks of smoke and is covered in filthy soot. Our experienced Estimators will explain all your options and help expedite your insurance claim so you’re on the path to recovery in the quickest way possible.
Water Damage
From a burst pipe to fire suppression efforts, water can be as damaging as fire and can create additional problems, including dangerous mold. Rapid remediation is an essential part of the process to prevent further damage. Allow DH Construction to assist in getting the process started and repair the damage created by water.
Wind Damage
Tree impact to your structure, broken windows, damaged siding and destroyed roofing can all be caused by wind. With our 24/7/365 emergency services, we’ll quickly secure your property by making temporary repairs to prevent further damage as the first steps towards more permanent restoration.
Ice & Snow Damage
In higher elevations with more severe climate, ice and snow can commonly cause property damage. With seasonally occupied homes, this can go undetected for long periods of time and worsen the damage. Our experience with these specific circumstances will result in your best outcome on your insurance settlement so we can complete the necessary repairs.
Vehicle Impact Damage
This type of accident can damage your property’s structure, fencing, or any other point of impact area. As unexpected as it may be, our experts can assess the specific damage and help your insurance adjuster complete a scope of work to remedy the destruction.
Hail Damage
Balls of ice hurled from the sky can break windows, destroy roofs, and damage siding. DH Construction is ready to remedy this damage quickly & efficiently by effectively working with your insurance adjuster to correct the situation back to normal.
Vandalism & Burglary
Being violated by illegal activity can result in different emotional responses than those caused by naturally occurring events. We have assessed this damage many times and can guide you smoothly through the process of returning your property to wholeness.

What Our Clients Say
“I cannot begin to say how pleased we are with DH Construction. I wish I could load the photo of my 2 story house vs. an 80+ foot eucalyptus tree. We are just finally getting to a point where rebuilding can begin but every step of the way they have been amazing. I would recommend them in a heartbeat. Having grown up in a huge construction family, I'm picky.”
Christine Keith-Cribb
Facebook“DH Construction is the real deal. If you need construction work done with honesty and integrity then this firm has it in spades. Anyone can put on tool belt and have a pickup and call themselves a construction firm but let's face it, there are a lot of flakes out there. Everyone at DH Construction treats you like family and is there for you no matter what. They put our home back together after a flood and stood by all their work no questions asked.”
Michael Cuccia
Facebook“What a pleasure to work with such a professional group! DH Construction relieved me of all the worry and hassles, and turned a bad situation into a beautifully reconstructed home. I can't thank you enough.”
Susan Trapnell
FacebookWe had a house fire and our awesome insurance agent, Rick, immediately said to forgo everyone else and go with DH Construction. We worked with Jennifer and Ken who were wonderful, reassuring, witty but very professional and always responsive. Initially when DH and Grange's adjusters were far apart and we were freaking out, they reassured us everything would be worked out between them. We really appreciated the way they worked well together. Steve, our superintendent, has been absolutely fabulous and he worked very well with us. Throughout, he was very professional and provided explanations as to his decisions. The last month was where he earned his keep. He pushed all the contractors and reassured us we would be back in our home on time. He always double checked in before moving on with change orders to ensure there were no misunderstandings. The work done in the home is tasteful & looks very nice. We could not have asked for a better Superintendent and DH felt like family during these trying times. They have been great, in a world where construction companies have a bad reputation for not keeping timelines or following through. The communication from DH is outstanding!
