Dave came and fixed and outside door that had some rot. He was quick to respond and showed up on time for the job. Would definitely call him again in the future
Great work by David. Quick response and provided a detailed description of the work that was needed. He was able to get the work completed quickly.
Dave did a fantastic job repairing the front door trim on my house after I discovered some wood rot at the bottom. He was super communicative throughout the entire process, kept me updated on the timeline, and his pricing was very fair for the quality of work provided. The repair looks seamless—you can't even tell where the old damaged wood used to be. Highly recommend Dave if you need reliable, top-notch home repairs done right!
Dave is a great guy to work with. We wanted to restore our Victorian porch to its old glory, and Dave made it happen. He expertly restored our original columns, balusters, and railings. He was also extremely communicative, both with cost and giving options for different elements as he worked. I highly recommend going with Dave for your restoration project.
I had David come by to give me a quote on replacing a rotted board on my deck. He was very nice, personable and honest. His price was also very fair! However with his encouragement, I ended up doing the job on my own! He encouraged me to give it a shot, try to save the money, and if anything went wrong he’d be happy to come by and help out. He gave tips too! Really nice to come across someone who is sincere. Thank you!
