As someone who helps people find their dream homes every day, I've learned something important: finding the perfect home is just the beginning. Maintaining and improving that home is a journey that never really ends - and having the right partners makes all the difference.
That's why I'm excited to share one of my personal favorite local businesses with you today. If you haven't yet had the pleasure of working with DLS Development Group, you're missing out on what might be SoCal's best-kept home improvement secret.
What Makes DLS Special?
In my years helping families settle into our beautiful community, I've seen plenty of contractors come and go. But DLS Development has been a constant presence for over 25 years, quietly transforming homes across Southern California with remarkable consistency and quality.
What truly sets them apart? While most contractors specialize in just one thing - maybe roofing, maybe solar - DLS has mastered what I call "the complete package." They handle roofing, solar installation, rain gutters, painting, insulation, windows, and even pavers. It's like having your own personal home improvement team on speed dial!
I recently dropped by one of their job sites in Newport Beach, where they were simultaneously installing a gorgeous new roof and a state-of-the-art solar system. The coordination between these two critical systems was seamless—something you rarely see when working with separate contractors.
The Family Touch Makes a Difference
There's something special about working with a family-owned business, isn't there? DLS Development has flourished under the leadership of Daniel and project manager Sherry Avni since 1998. When you call DLS, you're not just another project number in a corporate system. You're dealing with people who have deep roots in our community and a reputation they've spent decades building.
Several of my clients have worked with DLS over the years, and the feedback is consistently glowing. Words like "professional," "communicative," and "reliable" come up again and again. In an industry where those qualities are sometimes in short supply, that's saying something!
Beyond the Practical: Adding Value to Your Home
As a real estate professional, I'm always thinking about home value. The improvements you make today don't just affect your comfort and enjoyment—they can significantly impact your property's market value down the road.
What I appreciate about DLS's approach is how they consider the complete picture. Their integrated roofing and solar solutions, for example, don't just lower your energy bills—they create an efficient system that future buyers will value. Their exterior painting and window services don't just make your home look better—they protect your investment from our beautiful but sometimes harsh SoCal elements.
I recently sold a home in Huntington Beach that had undergone a complete exterior renovation by DLS a few years earlier. The work held up beautifully, and we were able to highlight these quality improvements as key selling points. The result? Multiple offers and a sale price that made everyone happy.
