BIG DAVE'S SERVICES

The very best thing about Big Dave's is that he shows up when he says he will, he does the job we agreed on, and he cleans up after himself. Very different from any other GC I've dealt with in nearly forty years. Superior work at all times; fixes issues when required without question or demur. I'll have no other GC darken my doors ever again.

Excellent, high-end craftsman that does the job the right way. No detail was spared from start to finish. Communication was smooth and Dave is a fun person to work with. We reviewed every detail before the contract was signed and got exactly what we were looking for (plus great suggestions from Dave) when the project was completed. My home was cared for and protected when workers were here. The projects couldn’t have turned out any better. If you want high-end results that are completed the best way possible, pick Dave as your general contractor. He is well connected and has the best in the business at his disposal.

Dave, along with Granite Plus was hired to renovate our kitchen counter. Dave's job was to cut down the counter from bar height to counter height. Expertise in carpentry, drywalling, painting, plumbing and electrical was necessary. Dave coordinated these specialties along with the Granite Plus folks such that the entire project was completed on schedule and without issues. While dust was a given during the project, Dave sealed off the kitchen in a floor to ceiling plastic room and utilized an air purifier to nearly eliminate the spread of dust. Each night his crew "Swiffered" the kitchen clean. Our old sink & plumbing was functional but for only one day! Then, promptly after Granite Plus installed the new quartz countertop, Dave's guys returned to install the new sink, etc. All was seamless! Dave and his crew did such an impressive job, I hired him thereafter to change out 2 ceiling fans, 3 ceiling lights and retrofit the kitchen cabinet drawers & doors with soft closure hardware. Upcoming, Dave has been hired again to perform additional plumbing and electrical work in our condo. You can depend on Dave!

Excellent workmanship and service. We were very pleased. Plan to use this company to replace our windows in spring

Dave did an excellent job, under budget and on time

Excellent. Big Dave was very patient and helpful with us during this entire process.

Based on the reviews on Angi I contacted Big Dave to get an estimate on a bathroom remodel. After coming out to inspect the bathroom, Dave said he would email me a list of local shops that I should go and pick out various things like bathroom fixtures, lighting, sink, tile, etc. He wouldn't provide a quote until making all of these selections (which is understandable). After spending hours of my time going and selecting various items for my bathroom, I exchanged several emails and a phone call or two about my selections. Then silence. Never heard back from him. Would not recommend.

Dave was prompt at returning our initial project inquiry call. Everything went smooth from reviewing the job, quoting the job and the actual work done. This was a new bath exhaust fan, not a replacement which meant cutting into the wall. He did a awesome job! Cannot even tell where the wall was cut. Dave is very professional, kind and great customer service. Highly recommend his services!

It was fine. He was on time and it was under budget.

We called Dave, he was great, came out and said he could do all the jobs we needed complete. Was supposed to get back to us with a quote for one of the jobs. Said the guy was busy. My husband contacted him again. No answer. Super disappointed. We really wanted him to do the job. I'm tired of hearing how busy people are. I'm extremely busy in my job and so is everyone else. Just follow through! Was going to give him a big refinishing job in our basement if we liked his work. Guess we'll never know.

It went great! I've used him previously. He repaired it immediately and made it look as good as new. If I could give him an A+, I would! I would highly recommend him to others.

Dave was organized, communicative, experienced, and down to earth. Sometimes have to wait, not always immediately available for work - the best people never are! Great to work with.

Called Big Dave’s for an estimate on some minor odds & ends projects to finish so I could put my house up for sale. I had concerns calling someone I had never heard of to begin with, but decided to try Angie’s List. Big Dave came out on the date/time scheduled, however, he took no notes as we walked around my house and I showed him the miscellaneous items that needed to be finished. Upon completing the walk-thru, he asked me to email him a list of all the items (I guess this was too bothersome for him to have taken the notes), and said he would follow up with a quote. He also mentioned it would take 4 to 6 weeks to complete my task list. Unbeknownst to him, I had previously gotten quotes from 3 other finish carpenters that I trust, all of whom stated to me that my work would take 1 to 2 days at most to complete. I’m sure Dave just saw me as an ignorant single woman and was ready and willing to try and take advantage of me. What he also doesn’t know is that I work for a home builder, and I’m fully aware of how long this work should take. It would probably have taken an inexperienced person a whole week for this work, but given that Dave claimed he was an experienced general contractor, I don’t know where he gets off claiming it would take 6 weeks, unless he was trying to scam someone. Like I said, my warm referral carpenters said 2 days at most, so I declined to hire Big Dave and I recommend you do the same.

I called Dave and asked him to come help us get the door that came off the hinges back on. It was assembled poorly by the person that originally put it on before we lived there, making it more difficult to get it done ourselves. Dave wasn't available last minute, but he did walk my husband through how to get it done, and we ultimately did it ourselves. He had amazing customer service, knowledge and will definitely call him the next time we need him!

Big Dave was a pleasure to work with. In the middle of a bath and kitchen remodel my husband sustained a severe back injury. Big Dave and his guys stepped in to complete the work. They didn't do anything we did not ask for, gave good estimates when we asked for extra things not included in our original contract and made our experience a great one. They created a new wall in the kitchen to hide the tankless water heater, painted it, installed cabinets and a sink. In the bathroom they placed the tub surround, painted and finished installing the vanity. Then we asked them to replace the drop ceiling in a hallway, it was quickly taken care of. We will definitely use them again in the future.

They did a fantastic job. There wasn't a speck of dirt or anything. They put in quite a few bars, and you couldn't tell anyone had been there!

Dave came out and looked at the work that needed to be done. He didn't measure but said he would send a "preliminary estimate" and then if I was okay with it would measure at that time. I never heard a word from him. No estimate, no returned call. Ridiculous-

Called "Big Dave" on a Monday morning after running into an issue trying to DIY repair my bathroom sink the prior evening. Dave was unable to come out for an estimate/evaluation until the following day, thats fine, we have a second bathroom. I explained over the phone that my wife would be home when he came by on Tuesday AM. He showed up around the time he described which was "whenever I get done with my 930 AM service call". Basically Dave took a look at the sink for about 10-15 mins and decided he couldn't fix it in the amount of time he had on Tuesday. OK, fine. He offered to email a quote and schedule out for the following week based on our availability which we provided. We received no communication back from Dave on Wednesday through the following Monday morning. I emailed Dave Sunday night with no response. I texted Dave's phone and left a voicemail on Monday morning. Dave finally emailed back around 3PM that afternoon reportedly having been in meetings "all day" - he wrote "Unfortunately, we will not have a technician available until mid-to-late next week to do the work at your home." That would put the work being STARTED almost 3 weeks after the initial call was made. No written estimate was ever provided, only a verbal offer that the work "might take up to 4 hours" and would probably cost between $200-400. I rarely go out of my way to provide poor feedback, but the communication here was dreadful. It seems like there are quite a few Handymen out there and he was just complacent to have someone else take his business. On his Angie's List description he notes "To state clearly as possible, we're not the right fit for everyone. We're not the fastest. We're not the cheapest. But our clients say, we are the best.... we refuse to settle for anything less than the very best." He is certainly upfront about a few things, particularly with respect to not being the fastest, however, I hardly believe the "refuse to settle" for less than the best as was the case in our service call. In the end, we looked elsewhere for a handyman because of the abysmal communication and protracted timeline to complete a relatively small job.

Excellent. Called Dave and he was friendly and professional and sent one of his crew over to handle it. Because I was out of town, he sent pictures of the finished work so I was comfortable it was done and done well.

They are very prompt in getting back to me and getting me an estimate. The work was done efficiently and professionally.

Dave was initially very responsive and stopped by to get all of the information. He examined the open wall after I removed the existing range hood. He promised to get me a quite in a few days, which turned into a week, which turned into two weeks, and then a complete lack of response. I always want to use local contractors, but was extremely disappointed that he wasted my time... as well as his.

After receiving other quotes, we chose Dave. He arrived on time, was easy to work and converse with, answered our questions, and most important, he cleaned up nicely when the work was completed. Our cost went up a bit due to an electrical issue but we were happy to pay.

The price was good too. I have no complaints about them. They did a great job. They're always on time. They complete the job per their schedule. They're very good at working with you on trying to make decisions on changes or better ways of doing things.

Excellent! After much trouble with another contractor in which I lost 2 months as service scheduled ultimately was not performed, Dave stepped in quickly and handled the job. Everything was explained upfront including pricing. He fit me in quickly and quality of the work is excellent. So happy I'm using him on remodeling the rest of the bathroom! He's renewed my faith in contractors!

I would highly recommend them to anybody. They are very courteous & very professional, unless we don't want them to be, joking around and stuff with them. I want them to have fun when they're working. My dogs love them. I have 2 beagles that normally bark, they barked the first day and after that they accepted him like he was part of the family. They always pet them and always nice. Very polite. They did everything professional and perfect and the prices compared to everyone else was just outstanding. They're very reasonable. Dave's really great working with you.
