Review left on 7 Apr 2016Rating: 5 out of 5Skirting, plasterboarding, fencing
Dave has done a fantastic job replacing and fitting new skirting in our bedrooms and replacing some damaged skirting and architrave in our dining room. He has also boxed in some pipework and taken down an existing wooden structure outside, all within 3 days to a very high standard. Dave was a pleasure to have round the house, arrived timely every day and provided a great service for a competitive price. I'd highly recommend Dave and would use him again in the future should the need arise.Review from susie_172, Maldon susie_172, Maldon

I was shocked by the work carried out by David. David was professional in our initial communication for the work. He was prompt with scoping and quoting for the work and he was competitive with his pricing. David turned up on time for the job, as promised. The work was completed and the joinery (hanging 3 doors) was completed to a satisfactory level. However, on inspection of the work, our newly plastered and freshly painted walls were thick with black scrape marks. These black marks were in the hall way, leading up the stairs, the landing, and each of our 3 bedrooms. I was shocked by what David had done because there was no apparent care for his surroundings... my home! I said to David that I am not happy and he apologised but he did say that the space was extremely tight to work in. I was even more shocked that he was defending the situation because he could have easily carried out the work outside (it would have just been more work for him). I paid £140.00 for David's work and he offered £20.00 in return for the damage he had caused. The paint costs were £500.00 + for all the bedrooms and hallway so it was insulting that £20.00 was offered. I was very disappointed with the outcome of David's work as I am always looking for tradesmen that I can trust to do a good job. On the surface of it, David appeared very professional. The outcome of his work was someone that didn't care about repeat business. I will not be using, nor recommending, David again.Answer from tradesperson:
I am disappointed by this feedback,I valued my 100% feedback that I have had since joining this site in 2010.But it is not unexpected from this customer who has been through 3 plasterers to complete 1 job and complained bitterly to me about the electrician who performed work inhouse.I feel Mr McCarthy would not be satisfied with anyone's work.I explained to Mr McCarthy the reason I work inside is to prevent damage indoors by carrying the doors repeatedly through the house. The "deep scrapes" he described I would say were scuffs which would be wiped away, however Mr McCarthy requested that I repaint the house for free!I accept that some marks may happen which I point out to customers.PLease review my other feedback before judging me on this.

Very pleased with window seat. Dave contacted use very quickly after seeing our ad, popped round and measured up the next day. He turned up on time and worked very tidily, and cleaned up at the end of the day. Will definitely use in future.Review from nicola2000, Braintree nicola2000, Braintree
Review left on 1 Mar 2016Rating: 5 out of 5Fitting of 7 new internal doors
If you are looking for a superb carpenter who's work is outstanding, has clear communication and competitive pricing this is your man! As soon as I posted my job and invited him to quote he was in touch promptly and made arrangements to view the potential job. In total I had the supply and fitting of 9 doors which were odd matrix sizes, and renewed hinges on other cubboard doors to match. He was very polite and respectful of my house, he constantly cleaned as he went along, covered my furniture including clotheshorses and checked I was happy with everything as he worked, he also re-aligned my cubboard doors. He has superb feedback on here which is 100% deserved! Thanks a million for doing such a great job, my house now looks amazing!Review from Customer of DW Carpentry Customer of DW Carpentry

Really happy with the job. Dave did a great job of listening to the requirements and applying his expertise to create something that was both functional and looked great. He explained everything very thoroughly and frequently reviewed work with me. Great job, very pleased with the result. Thank you!
