David Is A Man Of Integrity!
"After my dad died my mother and I needed a new kitchen faucet installed. Mom asked who could install it properly? I said my friend David Firchau is a gifted carpenter. I grew up with him and know he’s experienced at everything from building homes and decks to general carpentry. He installed at no cost to us because he has good morals and ethics and we remain friends to this day. Everything he does is done CORRECTLY and up to CODE!"

"Dave and his crew were and are, simply the best!! Dave is extremely knowledgeable with all things related to decking and even construction in general. Dave was very helpful within the whole process of building our deck, even suggesting some really cool features we never thought of to add on our deck. Dave was always available to answer any questions we had. We would definitely recommend Dave to anyone that needs to fix an existing or build a new deck. If we ever decide to remodel our home in the future, Dave would be the first one we call! Thank you Dave! You rock man!!! :) "

Timeless craftsmanship
"Dave is a true craftsperson. As a designer, I had a vision, but Dave helped refine it beautifully to suit our historic home in Glen Ellyn. The final deck and pergola exceeded expectations...it’s rock-solid and looks exactly like our renderings. We’re excited to enjoy it for years to come!"

"If you are thinking about a new deck or porch do yourself a favor and hire Dave. Dave and his team replaced our front, side and back porches with trex and they look amazing. We had some very unique circumstances as our front porch was stone, falling apart and pretty much a safety hazard. Throughout the entire process Dave never gave up no matter the obstacles our project threw at him and we truly appreciate all his efforts finish this project. Our new porch looks amazing and went from being an eye sore we never used to something we now cherish. It was also a pleasure to have Dave around while building, he's a great person on top of being a very skilled carpenter. Even after our project was finished I mentioned possibly in the future adding a small item to the pergola he put up, he went ahead an ordered the part and came over yesterday (in the dead of winter, it's February) to put it on. Seriously, who does this. It's just built into his DNA to go above and beyond. Thanks Dave! "

"Dave is the very best! Dave is extremely knowledgeable on all things related to decking and construction. I would highly recommend Dave to anyone looking for a friendly, reliable, hardworking and detailed oriented man for a remodel on their home and/or deck. Don't just take my word for it, look at the all pictures on his website."
