"I had my basement and garage completely renovated. My wife was close to giving birth when we requested the work and the team made an effort to getting the basement all done before the baby was born. "

Douglas Marshall Cooper Associates is a full-service design and construction firm whose practice encompasses both new and existing buildings of residential and commercial use, as well as speculative housing and development. Mr. Cooper’s office is located in Pound Ridge, New York and includes a staff of himself, an associate partner, three assistants and a host of carpenters, masons, and laborers, in addition to various subcontractors that work on projects small to large. Douglas Marshall Cooper Associates roots are based in Construction, Design, Real Estate Investment and Development & Construction Management. Our portfolio includes a wide range of work across these fields. Our uniqueness comes from understanding what it is to be the Owner, the Developer and the Builder - a trifecta that is evident in DMC Associates core portfolio of prestigious residential, commercial, and corporate projects. Douglas Marshall Cooper Associates, LLC...a solid track record. A powerful future.
"I wish I could give zero stars. We hired Douglas for a kitchen remodel which involved installing a kitchen island, pantry, and all the related plumbing and electrical work. The communication between Douglas and his carpenter was terrible. We submitted sketches and agreed upon the design for the cabinets which were meant to be overlaid. When the island arrived, the cabinets were inset which did not match the rest of the kitchen. In addition, the kitchen island has split and cracked at more than half of the joints. The pantry cabinet has split and areas of unpainted MDF are showing. We have needed to paint and touch up many of these spots. Regarding the plumbing, we have had multiple significant leaks from piping and tubing that the team installed. Water has leaked even through the floor and into the basement. Upon review from other plumbers, all have confirmed the parts used were cheap and of low quality, and the workmanship was subpar. After a major leak in the middle of the night, we reached out to Douglas and respectfully voiced our issues and complaints. He ignored us for a full month, and then instead of simply stopping by to take a look at the problems (which would have been the first major step to alleviating our frustrations), he responded in a despicable manner. He even included the following quote from his lawyer, He laughed saying that perhaps you lost your job (due to the CoronaVirus) and were probably scrounging for any money you could scrape up. Who would want to work with someone like this?"

"I highly recommend DDR. There are so many contractors out there and it is difficult to know what youâ ll get when you hire someone, from the quality of the work to the level of communication. This team did a great job from start to finish, and delivered a beautiful new space for my family. We selected DDR after getting multiple bids to update our walk-out basement into a more livable space. Key in this selection -- the price was competitive, and the team seemed attentive to the project needs as outlined. I had a tight budget and relatively aggressive timeline for this project. Admittedly the timeline was impacted by a few things that were out of DDRâ s control, including the Town building inspectorâ s schedule and a delivery delay (a new window arrived damaged and had to be reordered.) Nevertheless, the team stayed on budget and delivered a wonderful new basement. What a great project team -- led by Alex, the team (including John + Angel) truly transformed a dark dingy space into a bright fresh room. Alex was very thoughtful in suggesting options that would improve things and was exceptionally attentive to detail. He was super responsive to any texts or questions. In particular, I appreciated his high level of â perfectionismâ in how the finished product turned out. For phase 2, we need some custom cabinetry built for the space and I look forward to having the DDR team return to work on this next phase."

Building an in-law suite takes between two and seven months. Converting an existing basement, attic, or room can be done in about two months. Constructing a new addition or detached suite often takes four to five months for construction, plus one to two months for permits. The bigger the suite, the longer it will take.
Yes, you can build an in-law suite in your backyard if you meet local building codes and zoning regulations. An in-law suite often occupies 300 to 800 square feet. Be sure to follow size restrictions, utility separations, and entrance requirements. Hiring a qualified contractor ensures you meet all regulatory requirements because they can pull permits, double-check local code, and gather other skilled pros to work on your suite.
