About Our Company

Hello. I’m David Michael Smith. I started my own business at an age when most of us would consider retiring. Uniquely qualified, with over 50 years’ experience in building, remodeling, and making repairs around the home. I’ve earned the title of Old-World Craftsman.

My education began in my father’s shop. A Master Carpenter, he taught me basic building skills using simple hand tools. His generation survived the Great Depression using their knowledge and skill to repair or repurpose just about anything that was broken.

Learning how to repair and repurpose things is a skill I use to this day. Other mentors include a man who taught carpentry at Perkins School for the Blind. Still others showing me the many secrets of their craft.

I have had my own business for 15 years and work with all my customers to find solutions for their projects, keeping them informed throughout the process. As a perfectionist, I pay attention to the smallest details. As a business owner I treat all my clients the way I would like to be treated, with respect and understanding.

Although I can perform any type of carpentry, I have chosen to focus on small projects I specialize in. These projects include but are not limited to:

  • Custom built-in cabinets or closets.
  • Customizing existing kitchen cabinets to allow for new appliances.
  • Installing, repairing, or replacing any type of doors.
  • Crown moldings, custom mantle piece, or custom trim.
  • Honey-do-list for those of you who’s honey can’t, won’t, or shouldn’t be doing it.

Client Testimonials

A quick note that this has been the warmest draft free winter in twenty two years. Thanks to your work on our front and back doors. We so much appreciate your help.
Kate & Jack O'Brien
David was very easy to deal with and provided variety of options. He was knowledgeable, skilled, careful, and performed the work at estimated cost and time frame. We will definitely use again.
Glenn Davis
Thanks again for the deck... We love it.. and so glad the design was to keep the stairs wide and in the front of the house. If you ever need to offer our name as a satisfied customer in your marketing... please do... we could not be happier.
Joanne & Richard Harding
David was an exceptionally responsive contractor who did a magnificent job, reasonably priced. He takes pride in his work and has connected us with a network of reliable contractors. He is our go-to-man, could not imagine a better choice for woodwork and handyman jobs.
