Park Slope, Brooklyn · 2 weeks ago
Custom Built-in Bookcases & Shelving
David is a true master craftsman. He designed and built custom floor-to-ceiling shelves for our pre-war apartment with uneven walls. His attention to detail, laser leveling, and job site cleanup were second to none. Absolutely worth every penny.

Pocket Door Hardware & Trim Repair
Prompt, professional, and courteous. Fixed our stubborn 1920s pocket doors that three previous handymen gave up on. He brought all his own specialized tools and finished ahead of schedule.

Drywall Restoration & Floating Shelves
Flawless execution on our nursery built-ins. Upfront pricing, no surprise fees, and treated our home with tremendous care. Will definitely hire David again for our next renovation phase.
