We contacted DJ about adding on a master bathroom and walk-in closet to our home; so glad we did.

With his advice and recommendations, we now have the perfect size and design to meet our needs (and my dream).  The addition  is so well done it looks as if it was part of the original house.   

One of the sub-contractors that works for DJ commented,  "Chance requires perfection and settles for nothing less than a job well done".

And the job is well done!

When we decided to increase the size of The Pines South by 50% we considered working as our own general contractor. Having completed the expansion project we couldn't be more pleased that we decided instead to use DJ Chance as our general contractor and have his expertise guide us to a successful completion. Due to our state license we had some extra hoops to jump through when compared to a private home although The Pines is very much like a private home. Things like required architect-produced blue prints, building site soil testing, sprinkler systems, fire monitoring and egress just to name a few. DJ worked very well with us, the architect and the state inspectors to ensure that when the expansion was finished we would be fully compliant. He also understood that we wanted to maintain the home-like feel of the house and continue the quality features of the existing house into the expanded space. One of our key priorities was using as many local sub contractors as possible and DJ had a long list of pre-existing relationships with just the folks we had in mind.

There are three things that really stand out as exceptional about working with DJ. First, he quoted the project realistically and then as it went along we saw all of the invoices from the suppliers and sub contractors. There is no mark up. There is no adjusting the "cost" to fit the quote. We paid bills monthly with DJ and could easily track where we were on spending compared to budget. When an element of the project came in under budget we reaped the benefit of that and could either choose to apply that savings to an enhancement somewhere or pocket it. Second, DJ did a great job of preparing us for upcoming decisions. In our conversations we would go over where we were at in the construction timeline and what steps were happening next. He would let us know what things we needed to be deciding and was good about giving us different options to consider. This was all done far enough ahead that we had adequate time to consider and decide without causing construction delays. Third, DJ ran a tight ship in terms of job site cleanliness, organization of incoming supplies, coordination of sub contractors and minimizing disturbance of the normal routine of our business which was in full operating during construction. All visitors during construction were always impressed. Everyone including employees, family, friends, bank inspectors, insurance inspectors, state inspectors and the fire marshal commented on the high level of cleanliness and organization.

At the end of the day, DJ delivered a completed project with which we are very pleased and he delivered it under budget, in compliance with state regulations and without disruption to our ongoing business. We would definitely recommend DJ and Chance Construction to anyone without reservation.

My husband and I highly recommend DJ for any job you may have. DJ built us our "forever home". He helped us to pick out a layout that would not only grow old with us but one that is beneficial with us expanding our family. He was very knowledgeable and forthcoming about the "do's and do not's". He made sure that we knew what was going on, always kept us up-to-date, and provided valuable information. If we had a question and he did not know the answer to, he would figure it out and call us back. He was very forward with prices, gave us all the receipts, and provided us with top of the line product. DJ was an advocate for us and made sure that every project was done right, at the right price. He made sure the construction site was always clean for the next project. Once construction was finished, we had a couple of questions. DJ contacted the sub-contractors to come out and evaluate their product to make sure everything was working and he answered all of our questions. We love our forever home and would recommend DJ to anyone!

We are new to this side of the State and do not know allot of people. Thank heaven we were given DJ Chance Construction phone number and boy were we blessed to find him!  We are in the starting mode of remodeling the outside of our new home.  DJ met with us several times and helped give us ideas and answer our questions through the whole process of replacing our front porch deck and back deck and building a new pergola (DJ's idea).  One of the many things about DJ Chance, he sat down with us many times to walk through the process and answer all of our questions and making sure everyone is on the same page.  He made us aware in the beginning that once we got into the project we could come across things that would need to be corrected to make it right.  He also let us know how to go about saving us money.   Another attribute about DJ is he is straight forward.  DJ is very detailed and after every work day the site was clean.  When he was done with the job the work site was spotless.  We highly recommend DJ and we will use him again for any future projects and highly recommend him!

​

If you want quality work and have it done right then get a hold of DJ Chance.  No job is too little.  He is very good at communicating with you in the planning stage and about how things are progressing during the project.  Also, he listens to you as to what you would like done and provides sound expertise to coincide with your request.  DJ shows up when he says he’s going to and the same goes for his subcontractors.  He doesn’t leave you hanging.

I just recently had DJ turn my carport that he had built for me years ago into a garage.  Golly, before it was done he had built me a workbench with a place to put my air compressor under it.  Also, I made a comment that I would like a shelf to put odd pieces of lumber on.  He built a sheIf all along one side of the garage.  The end result was beautiful.  More than met our expectations.    

DJ keeps you apprised of the costs as things are progressing.  He gives you all the tickets so you know what all the costs are.  You are dealing with an honest man.       

Not only did DJ frame our home for us but he was a great source of information and expertise. He walked us through every step to make sure we were all on the same page. Many times he had suggestions or ideas for us to consider but he never made us feel like we had to choose his idea. It is hard to put into words just how valuable DJ is for a construction project. Trent also works with DJ as one of his subcontractors and can tell you from that side that DJ is excellent to work for. He always has everything ready to go when he says he is going to and there is no doubt that he is being honest and fair. No question, we would definitely use DJ again and recommend him to anyone looking to build, remodel, or add an addition. 

The quality and confidence DJ provided on our new home build made the process go so smooth! DJ communicated with us early and often throughout the process to make sure we were all on the same page. We recommend DJ and his crew whenever we can, knowing he will provide a top-notch product for all of his customers! 

When Pat and I decided to remove the deck from our walkout ranch and add a 4 Season room with a craft studio below, all we had was a concept of what we wanted.  We consulted with D.J. and quickly found out our concept was not workable with the existing roofline and back façade. Thanks to D.J.’s expertise and experience we ended up with a beautiful 4 Season room and craft studio that looks like it was always part of the original house.

Pat and I have built houses in Iowa, Kansas, Virginia and Texas and have our share of contractor horror stories.  Our experience with D.J. was unlike any other. Imagine a contractor who makes commitments and keeps them, is on time every time, provides daily updates and status reports, personally supervises the sub-contractors, considers you and your spouse co-decision makers, keeps the job site impeccably clean, provides timely, clear billing at reasonable costs and cheerfully returns post construction to correct minor deficiencies.  Sounds too good to be true? It’s not, that’s what you get when you hire D.J. Without question, we would hire D.J. again for a remodel project or full home construction.

As an interior designer, I work with many general contractors and sub-contractors. I was so impressed with DJ's attention to detail throughout our home building process. I've rarely seen a job site so clean and organized, and DJ makes it a priority to keep his clients informed. My husband and I highly recommend Chance Construction!

Carrie and I approached DJ to build our home based upon the amazing references we received from others in the area.  What a great choice we made to have him build our home.  Our home turned out great and DJ's attention to detail is amazing.  Carrie's dad is a retired home builder of 30 years and when he visited the build site for the first time, I was nervous of her father's criticism.  After close inspection from her dad, he commented on the quality of construction and how he was impressed with the work being done.  We couldn't be more please with our home and I highly recommend DJ for your build.

When we decided to build our home we interviewed several builders.  We liked DJ's straight forward approach from the beginning.  His attention to detail is unmatched.  DJ has high expectations for everyone that works for him.  We were kept informed with written and verbal schedules of the building process.  We love our home and would recommend DJ to anyone.
 

After several years of searching for the perfect dream house we chose to build.  DJ came highly recommended.  After one phone call we knew he was right for us. We didn't even pursue interviewing other builders or general contractors.  DJ makes the whole process stress free and stays on top of everything.  Not only does he do quality work, he expects nothing less of all the sub contractors.  He will help you make decisions based on his experiences and make suggestions where necessary. All costs are ACTUAL costs, and include receipts and invoices from the subs.  If changes are necessary he works with you through the entire process.  We love our new dream home and as well DJ and his team.  We will always recommend DJ Chance Construction for all of your building needs!

There are so many choices and decisions to be made when building a home and through DJ's organization and his expertise it made the experience less stressful. He made our dream home a reality. He strives for perfection and does not stop till he attains it.  His craftsmanship and thoroughness are a pleasure to be around.  When he hands you the keys to your new home, that is not the last you will hear from him.  If you have questions or issues come up, he is always a phone call away and is there within hours to fix it.  We would highly recommend DJ Chance Construction when building or renovating your home! 

When Chase and I decided to build our home, we knew DJ was the man for the job. We were very indecisive in the beginning of the process and he was very patient with us, made us several layouts to look at and met with us frequently.  As our new home was being built, the job site was always clean and most of our friends would ask how we kept it so clean. It wasn’t us, it was DJ.  Throughout the process he would recommend ideas that were creative and useful to us and added character to our home.  You won’t find a contractor more particular and that strives to complete a project right the first time.  The quality of his workmanship is the best of the best. We recommend DJ out of any contractors available; we are extremely pleased with our home and couldn’t be happier to have shared the experience with Chance Construction.

I highly recommend Chance construction for any project, large or small. DJ is extremely thorough and stays on top of making sure your needs as a client are met. Holton Community Hospital could not be happier with choosing a local person, as DJ Chance, to build our medical clinic in Hoyt. His work is superior and knows many additional local business that ensure a quality finished product is the result.  DJ was great to work with for building an additional room onto our house. His knowledge for products and detail for a quality finish is superior. He was easy to work with and kept us informed throughout. I couldn't be happier with our new addition, and would highly recommend DJ for any project that he is willing to take on!

DJ built a new home for us on our farm 25 years ago so when it was time to move to town, we didn't consider anyone to build our new home except DJ. He is honest and strives for you to be happy with the job. He always keeps you in the loop of what was going on and has lots of suggestions and ideas. I would highly recommend DJ Chance of Chance Construction if you want a job well done.

I am so pleased with the construction of my  recently completed screened in porch.  Chance Construction has gone above and beyond my expectations.  DJ has communicated daily with with all my wishes and has provided great ideas of his own, paying attention to small details,which added greatly to the finished project.   

When deciding to build a new home, it’s a large investment and you want to make sure you have the best home you can have. You also want to decide who the best builder for you is. Having seen many homes built and working alongside many of them, it was no surprise that I chose D.J. Chance. It all started with a “Chance Encounter”, pun intended. D.J. had built a detached garage for me in 2010 for an existing home. The meticulous manner in which he built the garage suited my obsessive compulsive nature. That’s why when it came time to building a home I wanted, the way I wanted, but even better. I chose D.J. Chance. I presented D.J. with architectural drawings of the home I had planned and had drawn for me. His first response, “We are building a house, not a spaceship”, or something along those lines. His second response, “No problem, can you afford the detail”.  I, said, “D.J., this is the home I want and stick to the details”.  Let me just say sticking to the details is exactly what he did. There was no shortcuts taken. From double headers to triple stud corners, it was all there. D.J.’s professionalism, craftsmanship, knowledge, meticulousness and eye for detail was obvious throughout the building experience.   There was times along the way that I wanted to take part in the building process and help build. D.J. didn’t push me away, he said, “put on your tool belt and grab a ladder”.  When I had questions, he took the time to answer and explain if needed. With his vast amount of knowledge and experience in building homes, D.J. was able to see design flaws that were not obvious to myself or the architectural team. This knowledge allowed him to make on the spot corrections, not on a whim but upon presentation to me the homeowner giving me the opportunity to make a decision based what he presented. This is a representation of D.J.’s character, he wants the homeowner to be happy with their home and the quality of the build. He also stands behind the quality of homes he builds, in other words he won’t build something that will not last.  I would highly recommend, “D.J. Chance” for anyone looking to make a “choice”, for the best builder for their new home.

I have used Chance Construction building a storage shed, a building addition, building a pool house and framing a house. On each occasion, the quality of work exceeded expectations and the price was always extremely fair. D.J. is easy to work with as I made several changes during the construction. He made suggestions based upon his expertise that was always valuable. He is a very honest builder that will tell you what you need to know without beating around the bush. I have recommended him to several people, including my son, who just used him to build his house. If I need something else done I can guarantee that he will be my first call.

When my wife and I moved into the community of Hoyt almost nine years ago we started looking around for a home builder.  The name DJ Chance came to the forefront again and again as someone we could trust and do a great job.  DJ didn’t let us down.  The process was easy and painless from start to finish. We were kept informed each step of the way making changes as necessary to accommodate our needs.  After the job was finished DJ still kept in contact making sure everything was exactly as we wanted it.  The house itself more then met our expectations.  My wife and I found a design that we liked and DJ made it work with our budget.  DJ kept us at or under budget while getting everything we wanted in our house and he made sure we were in ahead of the scheduled time frame.  I think the best compliment I could pay DJ is if we ever build another home I wouldn’t hesitate going with DJ again.

DJ Chance built a house for me in 1993.  He was very helpful with suggestions and always available for questions.  He always gave his honest opinion, even if it wasn’t what you wanted to hear.  He has worked in the construction industry for many years and has numerous contacts in all areas of home construction.  He has a work ethic that can’t be beat and the quality of his work is top notch.  I sold the home he built last summer when it was 20 years old.  The home inspector made a point to say that the home was in very good condition for a 20 year old house.  In my opinion that is largely due to the original quality construction.  I would highly recommend DJ for any construction project.

D.J. Chance Construction Company has completed a wide variety of professional contracts for our properties.  The projects were under the supervision of Mr. Chance and included carpentry, electricity, plumbing, insulation, concrete, basement reconstruction and all other areas of home, garage, shop and barn renovations.

Mr. Chance's excellent reputation in Northeast Kansas is earned by his firm honesty in bidding, communicating with the owner and completing each project to superior status.  He has raised the bar for excellence in job construction in our state.

DJ built our home in 2011. We were first-time home builders and had interviewed multiple contractors. When we interviewed DJ we knew he was the best choice for the job. He made the building process seamless. DJ was on the building site daily to ensure that construction was completed on schedule and to our specifications. He kept us up to date with a monthly itinerary of when certain product choices needed to be completed. He also let us know exactly what our cost was with actual receipts and invoices from suppliers. One of the things we appreciated most about DJ were his suggestions about details we had not considered. These finishing touches tailored our home to our personality. We are extremely happy with our home and will call DJ for any future construction needs. We have and will continue to recommend DJ Chance Construction!

I have worked with DJ Chance on both new home construction and also several  remodeling projects over the past 25 years.  DJ is an extremely honest and hardworking contractor.  His attention to detail and his insistence on high quality work by all parties, is second to none.  Once he has completed a project, he still maintains responsibility for any future issues. He takes ownership of the initial work, and also follows up on any future needs the homeowner might have related to the project.  I would put Chance Construction at the very top of my list when considering contractor services. You will not find a better fit for your needs.

I have known DJ Chance for many years; he is a man of integrity and is very reliable.  When I was ready to add a deck onto my house I knew he was the man for the job.  I told him my ideas and he went above and beyond my expectations.  He is a very meticulous and thorough builder.  He won’t be done with a job until you are happy with the results.   I’ve had my deck for 2 ½ years and I’ve enjoyed it ever since the build was completed.

I found D. J. to be prompt and to have met or surpassed all commitments he made prior to and during construction. The quality of his work met all of my expectations and surpassed that of other homes that I viewed during my selection process. I really appreciated the attention to detail and his willingness to make sure that I was advised of the progress of the project as it went along. I know that D. J. spent countless hours coordinating the timeline for other contractors to meet commitments he had made. The end result of this effort allowed me to move in prior to my expected closing date and resulted in a savings to me.  The most gratifying part of having D. J. as my contractor has been realized after the completion in that he follows up periodically to make sure the homeowner’s satisfaction continues after completion of the project. I have already and will continue to recommend D. J. unconditionally as a builder and as a genuine person.
