Our founder

Craftsmanship in every detail.

Chris Doria didn't start in kitchens and bathrooms. He started underground. For decades he 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. 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."
Chris Doria, Principal
