 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can't recommend Daniel highly enough. He is a thoughtful, creative, solution-driven and skilled carpenter. Daniel uninstalled our heavy custom internal sliding cavity door to retrofit a soft close mechanism that he had no prior experience with (and where no other door installers agreed to try). He also changed the door operation from a flush pull by modifying and installing an ordinary doorstop, as well as adding hardware not typically built for that purpose.  We can now progress to Plastering

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Daniel did what he said he would do.
His quote for the work was not the highest or lowest I got but was reasonable for the job.
Our back area looks great and is exactly what we wanted to achieve.
He used his initiative on the job and created more than we had imagined.
Thank you Daniel

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had the pleasure of working with Daniel, who assisted me in installing my entrance door hardware.  From the moment I first spoke with Daniel, he was super helpful and gave me instant direction on how things should be completed.  He is extremely knowledgeable and takes huge pride in his work and attention to detail.   What stood out to me was simply how genuinely friendly he was and just how easy it was to work with him.  I will definitely be looking to get help from Daniel in the future.  Thanks a million Daniel, top job and top bloke!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Daniel did an outstanding job fixing our laminate pantry door and corner cupboard in the kitchen. He was friendly, professional, and punctual, making the whole experience seamless from start to finish. We’re so happy to have found him and will definitely be using him again for any future carpentry needs. Highly recommend Daniel if you’re looking for a reliable local carpenter in Belgrave!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dan from LavDav attended to do a very simple Same Day Security Screen Door re:hang for me.

He was punctual, well presented and performed the job in minimum time in a no fuss manner.

He reluctantly charged a very small amount when I insisted - given he took the time to travel to me and because he did such an amazing job.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolute pleasure to work with Daniel: fantastic workmanship and lovely guy.

My husband and I asked him to install some slatwalls in our apartment. Even when faced with surprise concrete rather than timber studs as we'd told him, Daniel quickly adapted and still delivered to the quote. As an Asian household, also really appreciate how Daniel took his shoes off and even cleaned up after the installation.

Would give 10 stars if I could but limited to 5. Don't think twice - if you need a carpentry job done and you want it done well, just get Daniel in.
