If there's one thing I've learned from helping countless Southern California families find their perfect homes, it's that the journey doesn't end at closing. Your home is a living, breathing investment that needs care, maintenance, and sometimes a little reinvention to keep up with your evolving life.
That's why I'm constantly on the lookout for exceptional local businesses that can make homeownership easier and more rewarding for my clients and neighbors. Today, I want to shine a spotlight on DLS Development Group, a family-owned business that's been quietly revolutionizing home improvement across SoCal for over 25 years.
The Home Improvement Headache
We've all been there. You need a new roof, and while you're at it, maybe it's time to go solar. Oh, and those gutters have seen better days. Before you know it, you're juggling three different contractors, trying to coordinate schedules, and hoping they don't blame each other when something inevitably goes wrong.
It's a headache that I see my clients deal with all too often. The fragmented nature of home improvement doesn't just cause stress—it can lead to real problems when different systems of your home aren't properly integrated.
The DLS Difference
This is where DLS Development Group truly shines. Under the leadership of Daniel and project manager Sherry Avni, they've created what I consider to be the gold standard in comprehensive home improvement.
Instead of the traditional model where you hire separate specialists for each project, DLS offers a complete suite of services:
-
Roofing (both residential and commercial)
-
Solar installation
-
Rain gutters
-
Exterior and interior painting
-
Insulation
-
Window replacement
-
Paver installation
But here's the thing—they're not just offering multiple services under one business card. They're bringing a truly integrated approach where each element is designed to work harmoniously with the others.
I recently toured a Laguna Beach home where DLS had just completed a full exterior renovation. The new roof and solar system were perfectly integrated, the gutters were precisely aligned with the roofline, and the fresh paint job brought everything together beautifully. It was a perfect example of how much better the results can be when one expert team handles the entire project.
Beyond Convenience: Quality and Value
As a real estate professional, I'm always thinking about home value. And while the convenience of DLS's one-stop approach is impressive, what really matters is the quality of their work.
This is where their quarter-century of experience comes into play. They operate under license #1041608 and bring a level of craftsmanship that comes from decades of perfecting their trade. Their team approaches each home as if it were their own, with an attention to detail that's increasingly rare in today's fast-paced world.
The Environmental Angle
Southern California living is all about embracing our beautiful natural environment, and many homeowners are increasingly concerned about their environmental impact. What I appreciate about DLS's approach is how they integrate sustainability into their comprehensive services.
Their solar installations aren't just tacked onto an existing roof—they're designed as part of a complete system that maximizes energy efficiency. When combined with proper insulation and modern windows (also DLS specialties), the result is a home that's not just beautiful but environmentally responsible.
In a recent conversation with Sherry Avni, she mentioned that more clients are approaching home improvement with a holistic mindset—looking at how each improvement can contribute to both comfort and sustainability. It's an approach that aligns perfectly with what many of my clients are looking for in their homes.
The Personal Connection
In our increasingly digital and automated world, there's something refreshing about working with a business that maintains a personal touch. When you call DLS, you're likely to speak directly with Sherry, who brings not just expertise but genuine care to every conversation.
This family-owned business understands that they're not just working on houses—they're improving homes where real people create memories and build their lives. That perspective makes all the difference in how they approach their work.
