I spoke with three carpenters about this job, and each had a different approach. I had confidence in Dave's approach because by using an alternative to wood, I won't be facing the same issues with insect destruction down the road. He did the work over several weekends and he was punctual, pleasant and neat. The job was completed on time, so that the painters, who were doing my entire house, could include painting the porch. I got bids from three carpenters for this job, and Dave's was the most competitive. He is a skilled craftsman and I have worked with enough amateurs to know that getting the job done right the first time saves disappointment and more expense when make shift solutions fall apart.
Description of Work: My screened porch was in disrepair due to age and to some wicked carpenter bees which had eaten through the wood. There were other issues having to do with water damage, including replacing the lattice work and many of the boards on this wooden structure. The steps to the outside also needed to be entirely replaced. Dave recommended a synthetic material which the carpenter bees won't find as fun to beat up, and he did a neat and excellent job. There were a couple of small fixes inside the house, including creating an installing a new access panel in my master bedroom, in a very visible location. Dave came up with a great solution and we are happy with it.

Awesome, as usual. I have used Dave for years now. He has been replacing my windows a few at a time over the last year. He also put a new roof on before that. I call Dave for all my home repairs, although I tend to wait til I have a few things to be done before I call. Otherwise, he'd be here all the time. :) He is very talented and has good solutions. And you will never find a harder worker. He shows up when he says he will. Honestly, I can't say enough good things.
