The most impressive result of the small kitchen area was space utilization. This was a priority along with easy access to kitchenware. The existing cabinets were gutted, painted (white) and beautiful shaker style doors put on. There was a lot of coordination involved because of new wiring, plumbing, and tile work which took longer. Patience was the key to a beautiful new kitchen. Everything was individualized to my needs and I couldn't be happier.

David is awesome! We hired him to build and install custom bunk beds for a small kids bedroom. He worked with us to create the exact design we wanted and provided lots of helpful insight in areas that we hadn’t considered ( like leaving extra room between the door and the bed frame so little fingers couldn’t get pinched) He kept to the promised timeline and delivered a beautiful product that completely exceeded our expectations! I would highly recommend Wish List Home Improvements!

Dave replaced my falling-down backyard fence with a better version and upgraded my aging pressure treated deck floor and vinyl rail with a beautiful IPE deck floor and stainless cable/IPE rail system. The result is an elegant, peaceful place where we love to hang out to catch sun and watch the birds during the day and listen to the foghorns and frogs at night. Dave is a creative craftsman, fun to work with and has a great sense of design. I'm including pics but they don't really do justice to the transformation.

Highly recommend Wish List. Dave is a skilled carpenter, responsive, and great to work with. He built us a beautiful window seat over our baseboard heater with cutouts to allow air flow which is now the most coveted reading spot in the house. This summer, he built us a privacy screen for our deck (very zen). Both projects were completed on time and within budget. We could not be more pleased with Dave's work.

This past summer, we asked Dave if he could figure out a way to access our chimney trim. Between the extended pergola and the roof angle, it was challenging but those trim pieces definitely needed replacement. He tried various approaches and eventually figured out a way to reach up there with a small version of a bucket truck. An added obstacle was a narrow side yard. He persevered and success. Trim was replaced and the project was off our minds.

Enlarged and remodeled kitchen. Added powder room. Installed new front door and built custom shutters to surround door for entirely new look. Nothing but compliments from everyone for all work!

Just what I wanted - perfectly designed shelving that added storage while resolving configuration problems of the space - a handy pantry kitted out where once an awkward broom closet wasted square footage. ! appreciated the accuracy of Dave's Estimate, quality of his workmanship, efficiency and good communications, not to mention courtesy meeting changing schedules. Looking forward to the next project completed with the help of Wish List Home Improvements.

Dave stuck with a tricky construction problem until he devised an elegant solution for fixing for our wobbly newel post. Great service, delivered as usual in Dave's warm, friendly style!

Honest, knowledgeable, personable and professional; always willing to answer any questions. Very reliable; always returned calls or emails in timely manner and arrived to do the work when he said he would and kept us informed if there were any unexpected delays.

Dave did a roof job for us that entailed both working with some recent chimney flashing but also installing some new flashing and connecting the new shingles with existing shingles. He handled it quickly and smoothly and the new section has never looked better. He also fixed a few errant wood clapboards on the side of the house. Very satisfied with the work and interacting with him is always easy and straightforward.
