The team was neat and tidy during the renovation period and I never came home to any debris or dust. The finished product was just what I pictured! We would definitely use Denning Enterprises for any future work!”

And here’s another:

“Insulated Cantilever bay window- Extremely impressed with the quality of work and professionalism of Denning Enterprise. Dallas (owner) came out and provided a quote even though it was a small job. Most other companies would have either turned down the work or charged a lot due to the small size of the project. However, Denning enterprise was more than willing to take on a small project.
