While working for Don at Texas Reconstructors I was impressed with his ability to communicate. I am sure it is his communication skills that allowed him to successfully manage his employees, projects, and relationships with clients. Don has vast knowledge of the residential construction and remodeling industry and would be an asset to any company fortunate enough to obtain his services.
