Legacy of Excellence

Redefining Los Angeles Living

Founded by Chris Doria, D&H Contractors has become the premier choice for homeowners seeking sophisticated, seamless renovations. Our approach combines rigorous project management with the artisan’s touch, ensuring every project reflects the unique character of its owner while meeting the highest standards of structural integrity and aesthetic precision.

Chris Doria, founder of D&H Contractors, about

Our Founder

Craftsmanship in Every Detail

Chris Doria didn’t start in kitchens and bathrooms. He started underground—literally. For decades, Chris built some of the most complex structures in the country: high-rise towers that define the New York City skyline and tunnels beneath the streets of Manhattan and Los Angeles.
 
In 2020, he founded D&H Contractors with a realization that surprised even him: the most meaningful thing he could build wasn’t the biggest. It was the most personal.
 
A family’s kitchen. A couple’s first real home together. A guest house that brings grandparents closer together. Today, Chris personally oversees every D&H project.
He’ll walk your site, answer your calls, and care about the grout lines as much as you do. Because after building for the skyline, he discovered the real reward is building for you.

Chris was so calm, attentive, and focused as we talked about converting our garage into an ADU. He listens, offers smart input, and delivers what he promises. We LOVE our ADU.
