Dave is an absolute pro in every sense of the word. It's rare to find someone who cares about the quality of the work they produce and their brand, in addition to fair prices. He was excellent to work with, and was very accommodating of changes/requests as the project progressed. Couldn't recommend him more highly!

David is a consummate professional. His estimate was very detailed and accurate. He came on time, every time. When we had to make a change or alter the way he anticipated doing something., it was seamless and often at no extra charge. He warrants his work for as long as we are in the house. We fully intend to use him again for some additional work later in the year.

He gave us a very fast quote, arrived on time and even finished early and cleaned up. The work was great and I have no complaints. If I ever need woodwork again I will definitely give him a call.

I hired David in Oct 2019 for a large project. Installing doors, basemolding, and completely redo 2 staircases from all carpet into retro end cap wood system. He also fixed many other things in my house, and did a phenomenal job! I am SO glad I hired him!! He is very punctual, honest, and his skill level in many areas is quite extensive. And, he cleans up after himself, too!

I am very happy with my new door installed. It took me almost 8 months to find a person with the knowledge and skills to do it since my house is made out of brick. I totally recommend David for your projects. We already talked with him about some more things that I need to get done at my home.

Great idea to use deck over on my deck. The boards weren t as bad as I thought and he was honest with me about nit having to invest more in the project when just a touch up project would work!

David was really great to work with. He gave me a fair estimate for the work, cheerily managed what was a particularly tedious project and was flexible working around a few rain delays. He s a genuinely nice person, too, which really helps when you re trusting someone with expensive repairs. He was also very kind to my rescue puppy who was both curious and wanting to bark nonstop! Lastly, other than the beautiful job he did, you would never know he was here because he was so careful to pick up/clean. Not an easy task when doing trim repair outside. I ve already started a list of other projects that he can help with in the future. Thanks, again, so much for the great work!
