Dave is very professional. He has done many projects in my house over the last two years.. He has also provided estimates and kept me informed about the projects from beginning to completion. I have been very pleased with all the work that he has done.

Dave Ogden and his helpers removed a cracked plaster ceiling, replaced it with drywall and painted the room. It was a big, messy job, which they were able to contain to the 1 room. The final result looks great. I would recommend them, for their fair pricing, reliability and finished product.

Weatherstripping Service
Yes, I recommend this pro
After a recent storm and finding wet carpet, I knew I needed new weatherstripping. Dave inspected the area. He discovered the need for caulking around the doorframe, and added a better door sweep, in addition to the weatherstripping. Dave was prompt and efficient, and I would recommend him!

Personable, friendly, accommodating. Painted living room, foyer and ceilings, moving all the furniture and putting it back. We kept adding more work to the project and they were always amenable. Easy to work all the time.

Dave did a nice job on the repair, but I had to do a bit more cleanup than I would have expected, including large lumps of material hardened to the surface of the tub. I fully expected to clean the tub following the work, but my expectation was that large clumps of material would have been removed as part of the basic service provided. That being said, I would use Dave again for a project of this nature.
