Horrible; incompetent and ran off with our money and didn't complete job!

We hired Dave to build three sets of stairs for our new home. He gave us a reasonable quote and was able to come the week after we called due to an unexpected opening in his schedule. We asked if he could build the stairs to code. Dave did some research after he gave us the initial quote and discovered that the code had been updated. He modified the stairs to meet the code and did not increase the price. Overall we are pleased with his work. The stairs look nice and solid. I would recommend him. We plan to hire him to do more work in the future.

Dave and his subcontractors did an excellent job with the entire project. The shower repair was quite extensive. I felt very confident with Dave's expertise and professionalism. All of his subcontractors were likewise professional (plummer, tile, glass). I would feel very confident recommending Dave to friends and family and will use him again for further home projects.

"Thanks for business [removed member name]! Was a pleasure working for you. Hate that you had such a poorly installed shower in a 2 year old home. You can rest comfortably knowing your shower won't leak again! Thanks, Dave's Home Improvements & Building"

Hired Dave to build a 12X20' deck on the back of my house. The deck was elevated 1 story due to the slope of our yard. He did a great job w/ quality work.

On the first day he tore down the old deck and hauled most of it away. He left us some of the better posts and boards, some of which we have already reused.
On the second day he built the main structure of the deck including the stairs.
On the third day he finished of the railings and trim.
The deck he built us is clean and simple, exactly what I wanted. How did he know?
Dave was the lowest bidder of three on this project. He worked alone, all by himself.
Dave does beautiful work!

The entertainment center turned out really well. We loved the trim details, instead of being just a box. The overall result was still very and quot;mission styleand quot; with square straight lines, but that's what we wanted. He had examples of other work that he did and seems quite flexible. He was very personable and provided several ideas on how to improve things. There were a few minor fit and finish details that I missed on the final inspection (but my wife noticed of course), but these mostly disappeared once the paint went on. He also added some trim to the doors at the last minute (even though he wanted to get done for the day) that made the whole experience a lot better. Thanks

Dave is one amazing individual. Not only does he do superior work, his costs come in consistently under his estimate. He does whatever he can to save us money. He does a superior job, making sure, at each step, that we are happy with his work.
He is so trustworthy that we have given him a key to our house. He works hard and always has a smile on his face. He feels like part of the family not just some contractor.
I heartedly object to the person who gave him an and quot;Fand quot; rating . There is no possible way that this occurred in the way stated. I would suggest that Angie's list do a better job in monitoring reviewers claims. This sort of thing can destroy a business and is a travesty.

I would absolutely NOT RECOMMEND David Stone of Dave's Home Improvement for any service period. He provided an estimate and a contract was signed for remodeling our master bathroom, bedroom, closet and kitchen dining area including three custom built-ins. After one week he began showing up at different times every day (with no notification), brought his young son to work with him without approval and almost never worked a full 8 hour day. If we questioned anything he was doing, requested a change (we were willing to pay for) or asked for an expected completion date David Stone became defensive, angry and rude. It got to the point that I was afraid to be around him by myself so my husband started working from home to help manage the situation. He was one of the most disorganized people that I have ever met. He would beging many projects and without completed any. Due to his obvious lack of organizational skills, we were forced to write a project plan and started reviewing it with him daily, which made him even more angry and defensive. He ended up abadoning the remodeling job by sending an e-mail stating that it was not worth it to him to complete the job. We advised him that he was defaulting on his agreement/contract with us and we requested contact information from the subcontractors he had been using. We never received a reply from him. In addition, we paid in advance for several parts of the project (big mistake on our part) and he did not refund any of our money. We will be forced to take him to small claims court to get our funds returned for the incomplete projects. He left our house in a state of disrepair. The master bedroom, master bath and closet and the kitchen dining area were not usable. He also left two large openings in our home (where windows were removed) exposed to the elements. During this period it snowed several times. THEREFORE, WE WOULD NOT RECOMMEND HIM FOR ANY TYPE OF SERVICE.

"The member proceeded to take me to small claims and lost her judgment. She didn't just attack my subs and me verbally, she continued to attack me and the judge during our court case. She is a lady who is out to take advantage of every person she comes in touch with. This wasn't her first claim against someone, nor i believe her last. As for what she posted....All Lies. I'll try to explain her claims - I started everyday at 8:15 unless i had to go to lumber yard to buy material. This unfortunately happened often due to the member's changing finished work, numerous times. - for window, I took out 2 windows, framed in area,ply wooded and insulated it all in one afternoon, so that i could work in the room when it was 30 degrees outside. For her to claim windows(2 4'x4' openings) where left open for weeks is crazy. I was the one working in that room, and I promise you, I don't like working in the cold. The judge chuckled when she made that claim in court! - When my plumber and I recommended a few things that she wanted done differently, she proceeded to verbally attack both of us claiming we were trying to persuade her into something we wanted. We just wanted to let her know what the proper way to do that certain task was.Yes, majority of those tasks where changed. -I changed every change she made on the job(which were many changes) without ever getting rude or vulgar. She was the one who became extremely vulgar to me and my plumber. My plumber actually left the job and refused to come back. -So after 4 weeks and 80% of job complete(was paid for 66%,2 of 3 payments), she (on a Friday) verbally attacked me as a person and a carpenter like no one has ever done before. She said she wasn't gonna pay for any of the extra work/material. Then that evening when i sent an invoice on all extra work/material she owed me on, she replied via email. In that email she stated she felt unconformable with me in her house alone and she wasn't paying for any extra work. I called my lawyer because that is more then just lies about my workmanship/business, that's about who I am as a person. My lawyer proceeded to tell me not to go back to the job, when she has stated a comment like that which could jeopardize more then just my business. PLEASE CONTINUE TO READ OTHER COMMENTS ABOUT ME ON THIS LISTING TO SEE HOW POLAR OPPOSITE HER CLAIM IS"

Dave did an outstanding job for us. We will highly recommend this company to friends and family. First and foremost the work turned out great. Dave was punctual each time we met, and offered a reasonable quote within the time promised. They kept a neat work area and cleaned up all trash as agreed. The level of craftsmanship is excellent, and I sense they are capable of much more complex work than we contracted. Anyone can check out Dave's website at http://www.daveshomeimprove.com

This is one awesome guy. He can do just about anything and will tell you what he can't do. We call him first before anyone else. We are blessed to have such a great worker. He is fastidious, neat, thoughtful, quiet, friendly, experienced, and helpful. We can leave him in the house alone because he is so trustworthy. We jokingly call our house "Houses by Dave" because he has done so many things for us!

David showed up. He was so quick I almost hadn't picked out a paint color by the time he was ready to paint. This guy can do just anything. And, if he can't, he finds someone who can. He is honest, reliable and highly skilled. He is a pleasure to work wiith.

I found Dave on Angie's List one year ago and was so pleased with his work that I called him to replace my deck. Dave is dependable, thoughtful, and a skilled craftsman. He helped me find this brand new material that was just released in January. He built me a beautiful deck!! He does his work without complaint, working in very hot, humid conditions. Even on the hottest day, he is polite and pleasant. He finished the deck within budget. I have been so pleased with him, I will use him in the future to expand my laundry room and winterize my porch. He is the best!!!!!

He works alone so you feel very comfortable with him. He came in $400 under the quoted cost.

Dave did a phenomenal job from start to finish. He is a one-man show and is very knowledgeable about his craft. He arrived as scheduled and on time to give an estimate, completed the work when expected and did not go over budget. He called each day, with a daily update and did not do any unnecessary work! We would hire him again!
