i actually had several miscellaneous projects for Dee. i had a door that i wanted to be cut in half for the purpose of containing my dogs so that they could still see into the next room. Dee not only cut the door but finished it extremely nicely. he also rehung the door and reset and solidified the hinges. it swings so nicely and smoothly now! i also had a door that needed to be replaced but there was a problem - the doorway was not a standard size in either height or width. Dee trimmed both edges and if you did not know it had been done, you wouldn't be able to tell it had been modified. This was a hollow core door and he carefully replaced the interior edge strip (took the door apart and rebuilt it) Dee also built an 8 foot wide ramp of the back of my deck. it's wonderful! he was so thorough that he leveled the ramp so that if ever needed, a wheelchair could use it. Thank you soooo much, Dee!!!

I read several of the reviews posted and I totally agree. Mr. Dee and his partner, Kamari are accommodating, eager to please but most importantly he listens to his clients needs and wishes and gives good advice as to why or why not it would work. I think ? detail ? is Mr. Dees middle name. He is so conscious of every little thing, and will work until he and the client is satisfied. A very professional skilled carpenter. I met him as a person to hire, but I gained a good friend for life. Hire him, you wont be disappointed. My project was a wall to wall, floor to ceiling built in book case with a under the window storage bench. Absolutely beautiful. G. H. Cooper

My experience exceeded my expectations. The quality of work they provided was emasculate. I was impressed by their superb attention to detail. The quality service was outstanding. They were able to fix everything I needed . I would recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional quality work and customer service. If I could give them 10 stars I would.

Dee quickly responded to my request for handyman services, scheduled a time to meet, and made a very reasonable proposal. He began the work quickly and finished within the original time estimate. Dee and David are extremely professional and have a passion for perfection. Dee always had good suggestions about how to improve my project. They daily put in a full day's work and completely cleaned up when they were done for the day...keeping my house livable during the course of the project. For my convenience they worked weekends to get the project done in a timely manner. I have other work that needs to be done and Dee will be my first choice for that as well. I would not hesitate to recommend him and David to anyone.

Dee is a real find â a master craftsman, who works to a high standard and aims to please. He plans out his projects and has creative suggestions. He is highly professional and reliable, and his fees are reasonable. Most recently he repaired and painted a badly rotting deck â and now it is sturdy and looks like new. Dee also built from scratch a beautiful outdoor bannister decorated with a planterâ again, good looking and very sturdy. You will enjoy Dee and his work. We have used him multiple times and will again.

Dee is a very talented craftsman. I had a badly damaged kitchen cabinet that he repaired and it looks new! He showed up on time, patiently explained the scope of the work and did an incredible job. I asked him about a couple of other projects around my home and was impressed by his knowledge and creative solutions, so I plan to hire him again. He truly is a skilled professional. I highly recommend him.

I needed to have some minor repairs completed before the sell of my home. Thrifty Dee came and gave me a fair price for the work needed. He showed up on time and did an awesome job on tile repair and fixing the cabinet drawers. He is very neat. He cleaned up behind himself. I listed my home the next day! Thanks so much Thrifty Dee!

I contacted Thrifty Dee for a stair repair project for our rental property. We had a tight timeline due to a tenant moving in a couple of days. Dee was able to get to the property and assess the project within a couple of hours. He completed the job the very next day. His quality of work and attention to detail was phenomenal. His fee for the scope of work was more than fair. I will definitely use Thrifty Dee again for future projects as well as recommend him to anyone in need of a carpenter.

After searching for someone to make repairs to cedar post on my pool deck, I was contacted by Dee, who promptly arrived onsite where we discussed my job and how best to complete it. I found Dee to be exceptionally personable, with a great sense of humor. Dee gave me a great price and I hired him on the spot. Dee arrived at my home at an agreed-upon time and proceed to complete my job with the materials we had discussed. During each stage of the job, whenever he felt he needed approval of what he intended to do, he would seek my agreement. During the whole process, Dee was a professional, whom I can highly recommend, and would not hesitate to contact him for another project. It is refreshing to find someone not looking to rip you off and deliver a service at a fair price and on time.

GREAT SERVICE!!! This guy called me while I was at Home Depot within 5 mins of Home Depot input. He is a high energy, can do fellow eager to be helpful. I had a contractor who absconded with the 50% deposit and I was in trouble and he became our hero. His positive attitude helped us through an ugly crisis and what looked catastrophic turned out well.

Dee is an OUTSTANDING contractor... who deeply cares about the quality of work he does for his clients. Upon hiring him... He always explained every step in the process and always gave options on how the best approach would be to finish the project. Always showed up when he said would. Dee did what he said he was gonna do the job for the price he quoted... there were NEVER any surprises or hidden costs. Dee is a true professional in the contractor world and one who stands above the rest.

After my original contractor did not return to finish my project, 2 years ago, I was very fortunate to have found Dee on Home Advisor. He was responsive to my request for an estimate of the work I needed done and his quotes were very reasonable. I can't overstate how pleased I am with Dee's performance, professionalism, and attention to detail. Some of the work that Dee completed included: Installing hardwood flooring, stair treads, stair railings, baseboards, trim; Fixing issues with kitchen cabinet installation; Installing kitchen cabinet handles/knobs; Resurfacing / repairing / painting bathroom ceiling; Installing bathroom baseboards; Installing pocket door and trim; Installing 3 bathroom vanities. Dee's attention to detail is unlike my experience with any prior contractor. He strives for perfection to make his client happy and because he takes pride in his work. Thank you, Dee, for being the person and professional you are.

I hired Mr. D in late October to address several issues that i neglected for years. I appreciated his open and honest communication regrading all the work that was being done and why he was doing what. He was very honest and trustworthy. Everyone can agree having a stranger in the home can be uneasy or uncomfortable at times and can make finding trustworthy service provide daunting task. Mr D. Answered all my prayers i could have not had a better handyman in my home and i could not praise him and his team mate toya for the miraculous job they done in my home. Mr. D take pride in his work and his attention to detail is second to one. Thank you both for your outstanding work and professionalism. You gained a customer for life.

I hired Dee for a project to completely repair and redo the walls in the room and smooth them out and to build custom window sills and aprons over the existing tile that was trapped by the new windows. The room was in rough shape but Dee did an outstanding job and exceeded my expectations. I am very detailed and particular, and Dee not only understood where I was coming from but made sure I was completely happy and that every single detail of the project done perfectly. He is very meticulous and thorough and has a ton of pride in what he does. I plan on using him again for the rest of my home renovation needs and would recommend him to anyone!
