TESTIMONIALS

My request: Build a kitchen display shelf to match my hickory cabinetry. A design center recommended Dave Mahar, carpenter. Dave measured and measured again. He photographed the existing grain lines and he matched the existing stain. Dave then built a mock-up of the shelving and checked measurements once more. His process is meticulous. If you are interested in how carpentry works, stick around to witness the installation of the final product. Dave will gladly teach as he completes each detail. Pay attention: You are watching a master at work.

We couldn’t be happier with the work Dave did for us, his attention to detail, his thoroughness in the process, and his thoughtfulness regarding our home, our style, our concerns regarding COVID 19, and the timelines with which he had to work. Dave’s Finished Carpentry was the right choice for us!

We had a vision for our basement to convert it into a true “family room” for our growing family and hired Dave to turn that into reality. He’s wonderful to work with and very thorough. We’d recommend him with no hesitations!

I met Dave standing in line at Home Depot. I had a very small project to make cabinet doors to match what I had. He was over the next day, taking measurements and had doors made and installed ahead of schedule. And they are perfect in every way!

Dave helped us restore a backyard playhouse/shed… Now the playhouse has been refreshed and renewed - our daughters love their updated space! We look forward to working with Dave again and recommend him without reservation to those who may need a carpenter.

Dave was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. His prompt response from our initial contact led to a timely completion of our project. His communication, work ethic, and attention to detail were highly appreciated. Dave gets a 5 Star rating from our household.

Christen and I decided we needed better storage in our garage. We turned to Dave Mahar because we trust the quality of his work, his capacity to come up with a thorough plan, and his ability to cost-effectively and timely implement that plan. And, of course, he is someone we trust impeccably to be in our home, even when we are not home! We were not disappointed.
