Dave showed up when he said he would, assessed the job, fix my problem, then went on his merry way. That's how I like work to be done. Kudos Dave.

Dave was excellent to work with. He was very punctual, asked question about the job, when I was looking to have it done and did quote his price which was very reasonable. I wanted a storm door which I didn't have prior to this installation. He made some suggestions, and I picked one out at Home Depot. I purchased it and he went Monday morning and picked it up for me. He installed it for me. His work was very accurate, and he was very neat and cleaned up very nicely. I am very happy with my choice of D.R.A. design and Dave is definitely a 5-star rating, highly recommended!

Details: Storm or screen door • 1 door • Standard • As recommended by professional • No, but the door frame exists • No, I need professional’s help in purchasing • Weatherproofing (block drafts) • Multi-unit building

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5-Star Review for Dave the Carpenter Dave came through and handled the door work over at our property with professionalism and efficiency. He was punctual, there wasn’t a lot of back-and-forth — just straight to the point and got the job done in a timely manner. Great guy, solid work ethic. I’ll definitely be supporting him again and keeping him as my go-to carpenter. If you need any carpentry work done, make sure you check out Dave. Highly recommended!

Details: Exterior door (e.g. front door, patio door) • Storm or screen door • Basic door (swings open and shut) • Wood • Home
