    I have used Dave Dutton's Cutting Edge Construction team to build my back yard patio and to do interior work on my home. Dave and his team are on time, honest, cost effective and informative. They went the extra mile to take care of my needs quickly and professionally. Top notch guys. I would highly recommend them and I will use their services in the future. Sue Rader

    My wife and I (and a few neighbors) have used Dave Dutton's Cutting Edge Construction team for several projects over the years. We have found Dave to be knowledgeable, thorough, clean and both schedule and quality conscious. Although Dave's bids may not always be the lowest, they are competitive - and you can be assured the complete job is included in the price - no unpleasant "surprises" or "add-ons" as with many other contractors. I will be using Dave and his team in the future. I value his honesty and commitment. Gary Morford
