Dave is just finishing up our project which included our deck (+ lights + pergola) and front steps/landing. We couldn't be happier with the results. Dave is thoughtful about every aspect of the job and thinks of the things that you don't. And he is local (Glen Ellyn). This was a big deal in working with the village and the inspectors which wasn't easy as most can attest. Thanks, Dave for the great work.

Contacted Dave and he came out the beginning of November and gave me an estimate to replace my front stairs. He seemed very nice and I wanted to give I'm my business. I guess he didn't want it, he did not call me when he was supposed to, sent sporadic emails with excuses as to why he didn't contact me and kept telling me he was going to get the job done before Christmas then going back on his word to tell me he couldn't. Finally blowing me off when he was supposed to meet with me. Maybe because I told him I was upset about all this. Now it's too late in the season. If I could give zero stars I

We had David replace all the benches on our deck, add a handrail for the steps and design a "table" to fill in an opening on the deck where a large tree once grew and then died. The construction of the items mentioned is perfect, he's a VERY good carpenter and a pleasure to work with, great personality and has many good design ideas. He also helped us pick out the stain color and power washed and stained the deck. We couldn't be happier with his work and would most certainly recommend him to anyone who's wants work done that they can be proud of.

Dave Firchau was contracted by me to do the crown molding in my new 1400 ft condo and his work was masterful. He was able to handle the many odd angle corners and did a great job. He quoted a price and stuck with it. The job was completed on time and I have received many compliments about the workmanship associated with the crown molding
Since that went so well, I had him design and build a full size fireplace with mantel that uses candles as the fire since my building did not allow wood or gas fireplaces. The fireplace also received a lot of compliments and the workmanship was superb. I will
