David was able to get our interior door working properly for a door that needed much more than a simple adjustment. Very friendly guy, who knows what he's doing

We were absolutely thrilled with David’s work. We had a horrible experience with our first installer leaving us with a door that was crooked and looking terrible. David came in and salvaged our beautiful door plus he re-created the outside trim and inside casing. David was informative and very pleasant to have in our home. I would highly recommend David for anything related to doors.

David did a wonderful tune up on our front doors after our painters left. He installed all new weatherstripping and planed both doors so now everything is tight and working smoothly. David is a kind and skilled professional that I would look to hire again should I need door work done.

Dave is the man! Very knowledgeable and helpful installing our new bedroom door, suggesting different products to finish the door as well as showing you how he did certain tricks to get the door plumb and square. Definitely recommend him to anyone looking for an honest, hard working handy man.

David was a pleasure to have around our place. He really knows his way around doors. Most of our doors needed repair, and David fixed all of them. Don't replace your doors; repair them with Davids's help.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
$ rates begin at 75.00 per hour
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
ORANGE COUNTY ONLY!-Yes thank you, once we have set a time and date for the SERVICE CALL, discussed the need and solution, I will arrive at the SERVICE CALL location to meet you, it is then that your time begins and my work begins. We will then walk-thru the home to confirm our plan of action, whereupon I then begin to spread & cover with Drop Cloths the staging area, path of travel and the work area to begin TROUBLESHOOTING and/or any DEMO required to begin installing your already purchased and delivered Parts, Materials and Hardware... or I then go to the nearest Big Box Store and pick-up whatever is needed to complete your SERVICE CALL as quickly, yet expertly as is possible, to complete the job to your satisfaction and to obtain a good positive review in order to impress you and my next potential SERVICE CALL Customer.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
