I cannot recommend Dave highly enough. He carried out drywall repairs and carpentry work in my kitchen, and he is, without question, the best tradesman I have encountered in the United States. His workmanship is exceptional. He is meticulous, precise, and incredibly neat, with an obvious attention to detail that sets him apart from others in the trade. He takes genuine pride in his work, and it shows in every aspect of the finished result. Beyond the quality of the work itself, he is also an absolute pleasure to deal with. Professional, reliable, and extremely likeable, with a great personality and a calm, reassuring approach. Finding someone who combines this level of skill with such professionalism is rare. I would trust him with any job, large or small, and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for top-tier workmanship. read more

My mom's house had significant Debby water damage. After the remediation, there was a lot of sheet rock, painting and wall texturing to do. Dave gave a very fair quote. His work was on time and on budget. Totally professional, neat and clean. No mess during and total clean up after. The finished work looks super. Skip trough (wall texturing) is perfect. Paint match is perfect. A complete five star job. Will be hiring him for jobs in the future. Most highly recommended. read more

We had Dave do some work for us a year ago and he did such a good job that we had him back recently to do another job. He returns calls promptly which certainly is refreshing and is on time for appointments. He had to replace a section of roof over the garden area of our lanai and he did it in extremely hot humid weather! He also did an excellent job! He cleans up after the work and hauls the debris off. We had a little leak during a rainstorm and Dave came right out to check it out. His work was fine and it turned out to be a problem with the flat roof which he went ahead and fixed. Who does that? He went above and beyond which we so appreciated. If you want a excellentjob done, give Dave a call. You'll be pleased with the results. read more

We were hoping for a Saturday install of our new over the range microwave and removal of old unit. Same size, different brand. Dave was quick to respond, honest, asked appropriate questions and quoted us same day reasonable pricing. Yes, same day service! My old microwave was wedged into cabinets and needed skill to remove. Dave handled it like a true professional. Not a dent or scratch on any of my cabinets or walls. Unfortunately, when the new unit was taken out of the box, we saw the frame was dented and needed to be returned. Dave's calm and professional manner, made an awkward and frustrating situation, painless. To help us out, he asked if I could text him when I had exchanged the unit and he would come back to install it for us; even if it was next day, a Sunday. We did and I simply texted him. Can you believe, Dave true to his word came back on Sunday and quickly installed our new microwave. He comes prepared with his own equipment and cleans up when he's done. No damage to any of my cabinets or wall. Great job! My husband and I were impressed with his service and calm knowledgeable attitude. Nice man who really is detailed and very handy. Pricing was acceptable too. We got ourselves a new handyman. Highly recommend!! read more

Buyer beware. As a woman, we have all been scammed (or attempted) by price gouging contractors who try to take advantage of us. We sent off for 5 total companies for a TV remount, 3 companies came back with $50-$85 with little to no questions asked. We provided a paragraph of details and was asked questions unrelated to our query, as to insinuate we hadn't though of patching holes, do we have the mount (which we mentioned several times) or disposing of TV (really?). We mentioned remount, the TV size, model, weight, capability of mount and even distance to be raised. If this is the lack of respect and assumption that customers are wrong or ignorant because of our gender, this contractor is sadly mistaken. If you are a woman, I suggest moving along or be aware of these types of predatory companies attempting to charge $500 for less than a $100 project. Reply - to charge $500 to move a TV mount when now 4 other contractors charge all within $40 of each other, all below $100. Your response shows that you think a $50-$90 project is $500 is considered unfair business practices via price gouging. Your flippant response shows that you actually believe a 30 minute TV mount project is $500, you didn't even bother reading the paragraph of details provided that gave 4 other quality companies with ratings the ability to quickly and easily provide a quote without needing any more information. You are the only one who didn't read and then quoted a price that Florida law deems as excessive. Since this escapes your logical debate of excessive pricing, I'll elaborate. You cannot charge a $500 fee for a $50-$90 project. The litigation complaint and win would take less time than the mount to be installed. I'll be glad to post the details and your response to show everyone why they should avoid contractors who take advantage of people. read more

Called to remind me about the appointment and to confirm scope of job. Showed up on time and with mask in place. The previous electricians had installed a complex splitter instead of a remote, so Dave had to consult his resources to uninstall that and bypass the wall switch for this fan that had a remote but no switch wiring. The job took a little longer than I anticipated but was completed handily. Dave cleaned up the site and did not charge extra for the unexpected wiring issue. Will hire again. read more

Dave called to confirm our appointment and let me know that he was behind because of extra time he needed for another job. That showed respect for my time and was much appreciated. He then arrived on time at the new designated hour. The job was for a sound bar mounting, dryer vent cleaning, and entry door weather strip installation. He was personable, professional, efficient, and did excellent work; but his honesty, in letting me know that I did not need the dryer vent cleaning at this time, was what sealed the deal for him to be my go to guy for future projects. Michael K Sarasota read more

Dave was very responsive, easy to work with and on time. Gave us quote of the price before starting on a project to make sure we were comfortable. Did the work in short amount of time and great to work with. read more

I hired Dave to do a bathroom remodel. Tile two bathroom floors, a shower, take down the bulkhead in the shower and open up the entry into the shower area. After just two weeks , the grout was chipping out and when you walked on the floor, certain tiles, moved and creaked. Should tiles move and creak. Plus in the shower, he cut a tile two short. Imagine what that looked like!!! And he said the wall moved. No, Dave, the wall did not move, you cut the tile too short and he slapped it on the wall he installed. Who does that??? And in the niche, his corners, looked like a child had done ithem!!! I did contact Dave and told him about the grout. He said it's a curing process and he could come in 4 weeks. I couldn't live with the floor any longer, I found a tile professional, he pulled one of the tiles and the thin set or whatever he used was still wet. Imagine that??? Plus there was lippage on the floor and some tiles sounded hollow when you knocked on. Don't hire Dave to tile. He's not a tiler. I'm not sure what Dave is good at!!!????? His drywall, was sloppy, also. Dave Can??? It's Dave CANNOT!!!! Sent from my iPad read more

Dave called back very quickly and made an appointment to look at what I needed done. He was actually early for that. He set a price for the job which I thought was more than fair. We then made another appointment to get it done and he was a bit early for that as well. It's been a long time since I found someone in Sarasota that conscientious. I recommend Dave without any hesitation. Call him. read more

So if you're looking for someone to either perform a job, and or teach you how to do your own, Dave Can! read more

We recently acquired a home through probate that needed a full clean out and haul away. We live in San Diego but the house was in Venice, FL. Dave did an AMAZING job! He took out all the furniture, pulled out all the very old carpet, etc. He was quick, efficient, and spotlessly clean. He was terrific in answering questions and making recommendations. I would definitely use his services again. read more

I called Dave to have him install my 82" TV on the wall, he asked a few questions and told me those don't usually take too long and to call him the day I have everything to set something up. I bought the TV at Costco, it was delivered in the box, about 110lbs and I bought a nice extendable arm mount that was rated for the TV weight off of amazon. Dave came by, he was very personable, he measured a few times to get the positioning correct, installed the TV mount and I helped him pick up one side of the TV to hang it and its done. I would recommend Dave, his prices are competitive and best of all, he was able to come by the same day when I called him! (He can mount the soundbar also if you have one, although I self-installed mine later) read more

Very prompt and professional. He cleaned up after he was done. He got to work right away. Gave me a good price. I would call him again.
