The Contractor and all the Sub-Contractors showed up on time, they worked in a professional manner and did not waste time (they worked very hard), they cleaned up each day and did a thorough cleaning at the end of the project. The Contractor kept me informed at all times about the schedule. I made one change after the work started (added one more window in the back wall), and everyone involved completed their part of the change without an issue. I am one very satisfied customer!!

Description of Work: Gutted an upstairs attic space and converted to storage/kids room. The old drywall & flooring was torn out, old insulation removed, structure rebuilt/rebraced, new insulation added, and room refinished. The room was finished out with beaded board. Six cabinets and two shelves were added to increase storage. We used foam tiles for the flooring. The work went great. Dave did a wonder job. It could not have turned out better.

Description of Work: Dave ripped out our old rear entrance stairs and built a new set. They could not have turned out any better. First they look much better because of his design. Second they are built much more sturdy. And third they are safer as Dave was able to extend the tread length of each step by nearly two inches. The work was completed on time and within budget.

It went great. Dave kept to his original bid. The only change we made was to rip out all the old drywall and plaster. This gave us the ability to widen the stairs by almost an inch to 34 inches wide. Despite all the mess of ripping out the old stairs, Dave did his best to keep the mess down to a minimum. It was not fun having no stairs in our house of course, but it was really a pretty painless process. My wife was doubtful that we make our stairwell more safe and thought this would be a waste of money. But Dave took measurements and generated a 3D graphic that showed us what it would look like after his work. The measurements of the resulting stairs were exactly what his graphic showed. We were both surprised by how much a couple of inches make on stairs. I no longer have to grip the handrail for fear of death like I did with the old set. The stairs also match the character of our house. You cannot really tell that they are new. He stained the wood to match the rest of our hardwood floors. Due to the improvement of safety, this was one of the best expenditures that we have made on our house. The only regret I have is that I would have liked to have found a better stain match for the stairs. As I supplied the stain myself, this is not Dave's fault. And the stain matches pretty well, but I wish it was perfect. My suggestion to anyone doing this is to start matching stains early in the process to find that perfect fit.
Description of Work: Dave tore out our existing staircase in our 1920's home that was very steep. He replaced the entire staircase with all oak risers, treads, and stringers. The original stairs were very steep. The treads were less than 9 inches and the rise was over 8 inches. The made the old stairs very unsafe. Dave used software to design our new stairs. He presented five different options. The design that we agreed to had risers at about 7.5 inches and treads at 10.5 inches. To accommodate this, we had to rip out the entrance to add an extra step and also cut into the corner of our kitchen to make the stairs less steep. Other companies that bid on the work were simply going to nail the steps into place. But Dave built the new staircase like a piece of furniture so not nails or screws are visible. While this took longer to do, the stairs are tighter and better looking in appearance.

Our latest endeavor was a bathroom. This started off as a hole in the floor, which we thought would only take two days to repair. But then he offered me the opportunity to rebuild the whole room, which had always been brutally ugly with its wall of cardboard (from a previous owner), sink that didn't really work, and two kinds of wallpaper (also from the previous owner). So it took longer than the two days and David had to manage it around the other jobs he was already signed up with. He has re-done the plumbing, lighting, carpentry, and walls all over my house, not just the bathroom.
Description of Work: Remodeling a bathroom from the bare bones out. David has also worked on my home's wiring & drywall in other rooms.
