Dovetail Woodworks

About us

I have been a carpenter for over 40 years. I have learned my skills from many Master Carpenters. 3 years ago I went out on my own and started my own business called Dovetail Woodworks. I have no employees. I have access to several sub contractors when needed for the job. I require a deposit at the start of the job and payment in full when completed. I accept checks and cash.

David was professional, thorough and did very high quality work. I needed a repair project completed on a tight timeline and David was accommodating despite other commitments. i could not have been happier with the service i received or the quality of the work that was completed.

David's craftsmanship and attention to every detail of this project was
exceptional.  He was able to foresee and suggest certain features that
made the cabinets more functional.  He gave me everything I wanted and
more.  The wall of floating shelves are beautifully made and carefully installed.
The drawers glide and the trim work is flawless.
Dovetail is now working on building an outdoor shower for me.  I showed David an example of one I saw online and he found a way to duplicate it using stock lumber.  He is very knowledgeable about outdoor shower features and the extra touches that will make it a pleasure to use.
David Smith has also done general handyman and carpentry tasks such as  hanging bathroom  hardware,
assembling a headboard and hanging mirrors.  He stays in contact with
his clients and is always responsive and pleasant to be around.

David was very easy to deal with and provided a variety of options. He was knowledgeable, skilled, careful, and performed the work at estimated cost and time frame. Would definitely use again.

David was an exceptionally responsive contractor who did a magnificent job reasonably priced. He takes pride in his work and has connected us with a network of reliable contractors. He is our go-to man, could not imagine a better choice for woodwork and handyman jobs.

David Smith (Dovetail Woodworks) is probably the best finish carpenter on Cape Cod.  He's dependable, efficient and a really intelligent guy who can suggest design solutions and complete the work at a truly reasonable cost.  He has my absolute, unqualified recommendation.  Any questions?  Please call me.

When I originally called, Mr. Smith was on vacation, but promised to call upon his return, which he did. Explained everything thoroughly, suggested that I increase the scope of the original work to include 4 more stair treads and still came in as the middle bid. He was able to complete the job within 10 days, which was a nice bonus. Very happy with the work and would hire again in a heartbeat!

We've all heard "this guy can do anything," right?  Well, let me tell you about David Smith -- this guy can do anything.  Maybe one of the last old school craftsmen, I've watched him literally hand carve intricate pieces of molding for the mantel and crown molding.  Initially, I wondered why he had no assistant, but it became immediately clear.  He could never train anyone to keep up to the quality of his workmanship. 
If you're thinking of having custom work on your Cape home and you want it done beautifully, it's simple -- call Dave Smith.
I'm pleased to send you photos, or come over to my condo and check out his work. 


Oh yeah -- Dave has a few days free next week so I'm asking him to build me a Boing 707 in his spare time.  Because this guy can do anything.

We asked David of Dovetail to install crown molding in almost every room of our house.  He is very detailed oriented, measures and cuts precisely, and the end result is a fantastic job.  We then asked David to design a new mantle for our living room fireplace.  After discussing the design options with us in person, over the phone, and via email, David built us a beautiful mantle while we were out of town.  We highly recommend David and Dovetail.
