About DB Carpentry & Restoration
Started in 1997. Still at it.
I do repair and restoration work on older homes. Wood rot, porches, columns, stairs, windows, structural work.
I grew up in South Hanover, Massachusetts around old buildings and old ways of doing things. That stuck with me. I've been working with wood my whole life
Been doing it this way for 28 years. Plan on doing it the same way for as long as my hands hold out.
I source my materials through L. Sweet Lumber in Providence and Home Depot.
Licensed and insured in Rhode Island. Free estimates.

Dave is the best of the best. The lower sill of my Andersen bow window had rotted out and needed to be completely replaced. I reached out to one window contractor who said it needed to be completely replaced. I felt that I was being given the run-around and that they just wanted to sell me a new, expensive window. I called Dave to see if it was possible to fix, and I'm glad I did. He came out to see the window in person the next day, quickly gave me a quote, and was back in 3 days to start the repair. It only took him about a day and a half to completely rebuild, waterproof, and paint the lower window. I am so grateful for his commitment to repair and quality workmanship. He saved us thousands of dollars, and I feel better about repairing the quality, well-made parts of my home rather than opting for unneccesary replacement. Beyond this, he is a genuinely nice guy -- someone I will be glad to give my business to again in the future. If you have a restoration woodworking project, I highly recommend you contact Dave as you will be helped by a true craftsman with a good heart.

Dave is extremely knowledgeable in his craft and highly personable. A unique combination that makes him a breeze to work with. He's a pro but if for whatever reason he is unable to accept a job, he'll go the extra mile by recommending a list of capable tradesmen that can. Need more like him :)

I had David come by to give me a quote on replacing a rotted board on my deck. He was very nice, personable and honest. His price was also very fair! However with his encouragement, I ended up doing the job on my own! He encouraged me to give it a shot, try to save the money, and if anything went wrong he’d be happy to come by and help out. He gave tips too! Really nice to come across someone who is sincere. Thank you!

We were looking for some advice and solutions for a window with rot. Dave suggested a range of options and worked quickly to meet our immediate needs with a short-term solution that was inexpensive and even under his original estimate. He had good suggestions for the future and is also just a nice guy. We definitely look forward to working with him again.
