Update: Dave sent a different person over to fix the ceiling yesterday and it looks great.

Just moved in to my place and had a few things that needed fixing. Tried reaching out to some people on here and I didn't get the impression they cared. David on the other hand immediately responded and I was able to schedule. He came, gave me a quote, and later that week everything was fixed. Already planning to have him help with a few more things. Great guy, great job, highly recommend. Thanks David! read more

Nice person but was unable to fix the issue and never returned to finish the job of patching up holes in ceiling and walls. Stopped communicating and never came back. Charged a decent amount of money without resolution or completion and left things in poor condition. Update: In response to David's comments that I, unfortunately, missed a few facts. I apologize, here they are... There was not "another" leak, it was the same leak. The ceiling should have been opened the first time to check for the leak yet you said you wanted to take the "least destructive" path and patch "a couple" of tiles in the shower. Then you scraped & repainted the ceiling and it leaked through again within a week. And yes, when you came back and opened the ceiling this time, there were ants because ants are drawn to and thrive in moisture and there was a leak - ergo the reason we called you in the first place. You cut a large hole in the ceiling and then 2 large holes in the bathroom wall and said you couldn't find a leak and then said "Sorry, my fault, I missed a spot patching the tile and fixed it and it should now be good" You ran the shower for about 1 -2 minutes; no leak noticed and patched the walls and ceiling and "slathered" spackle over them. You didn't have time to let it dry because it was so thick. You said you would be back to add another coat of spackle when it dries and smooth the surface because one coat was not enough for the size holes. I said that would be great and you did not need to repaint it, but I would appreciate it if you could finish the patch and smooth it to a paintable condition and I would paint it. And you said "no charge" since it was your fault. David never returned. He answered my texts two weeks in a row saying he would try to get back that week but didn't show and never texted with an update. That was well over a month ago. There are plenty of nice comments on here and like I said David seems to be a nice guy but this was to warn that if you have a leak from an unknown source, need large holes patched or need to have a job done in a reasonable amount of time, he is probably not your guy. David, yes you said you would fix it for free since it was your fault you missed the grout in shower area in the first place, however, once you returned to complete, I planned to pay additional for your time and effort. As it turned out, my son visited from out of state and looked and said the "entire" corner of the shower should be re-grouted or it will leak again which he did for us while visiting or it would probably be leaking again. read more

You want things to get done the right you go to Dave. He is responsive, reliable and most importantly experienced. It's a Wild Wild West when it comes to finding a trustworthy contractor but not with Dave. We only did a small job with him to replace some bathroom exhaust fans but we had great experience. The price is good and work is done professionally. He thinks outside of the box for the best solution to solve the problems. Definitely going to reach out again for larger project in the future because some projects is best to have a professional on board. Thanks Dave! read more

David responded quickly to the quote request and was able to include my picture-hanging task in his busy schedule. David has a great eye for detail and with good judgement, hung dozens of pieces of wall art most efficiently. I would definitely call him again for other home repair/improvement projects. read more

Dave is simply amazing!! The blind on my bathroom window is old and not in good shape. This is the bathroom I use for showering so the blind matters. The blind accidentally got pulled up, and no matter what I did I could not get it down to save my life. Dave to the rescue! He found a way to squeeze me in and drove a half an hour each way to get here. Within seconds he had the blind down. In this day and age it is very hard to find a professional who is willing to take on a small job and do it with a sense of urgency and care. Needless to say I have already asked Dave to do some more work for me. I am truly thankful to have found him! read more

We look forward to working with him again for other small jobs around house, both inside and out! read more

My brother, an elderly Vietnam veteran with Parkinson's disease, needed window treatments and a new side door to enhance the safety of his home. I live out of state, so I turned to Yelp to find a local handyman who could do the work quickly and for a fair price. I found Naples Optimal Solutions, and I'm so glad I did. I contacted David on a Thursday, and he got back to me right away, carefully explaining his plans for purchasing the materials and completing the work. By the following Monday, the work was done. The price was very reasonable and the quality of the work was top-notch--he texted me numerous photos so I could see the results. In addition, David was an absolute pleasure to work with--responsive, punctual, conscientious, and friendly. I plan to use Naples Optimal solutions for any future work needed on my brother's home, and I highly recommend the company for all your handyman needs! read more

I contacted Naples Optimal Solutions after reading all the positive reviews on Yelp. David was personable and courteous over the phone. The day he was supposed to pass by the home, he was a bit late, but he maintained communication via text. When he saw the projects, he offered his insights. He seemed very knowledgable and professional. Before leaving, he took pictures along with the measurements of the project. He said he was going to provide quotes based on different materials. He committed to have the quotes within the next few days. He did say, "feel free to reach out if you see that I am taking long." A few days passed, I reached out (as he instructed). He replied that he will have the quotes by the weekend. A week passed by but I did not hear from him. I reached out again. This time, he did not respond. After a few more days, I reached one last time. He did not answer his phone and he did not reply to the texts. To me, silence means he is not interested in the job, but he could have just said so instead of having me wait for two weeks. I gave him two stars because he is a nice person to speak with, but in the business world, unresponsiveness is a huge red flag. read more

Dave possesses a variety of areas of expertise. I recently used Dave for a bigger project in my home. My second-floor tenant's bathroom was outdated and run down, to say the least. He completely gutted and re-modeled the entire bathroom. There is no project too small or too big for Dave. I have used him on several different projects throughout my home that I have been very pleased with. A few of the tasks he has completed for me are a basic hanging of a few pictures, completely building a kitchen in an unfinished basement, redoing laminate flooring in a tenant's home, replaced a large bay window, designed a fireplace to heat a basement, opened up a load-bearing wall, and made an emergency house call for a leaking sink. Dave has always been extremely professional. He strives to practice perfectionism in everything that he does. Dave's honesty throughout the entirety of the project, timely execution of the project, more than fair pricing and ability to adapt to challenges along the way are just a few of the reasons why I continue to use him. During this particular project, he gutted the entire bathroom down to the beams. He also replaced and updated plumbing, installed new insulation and sheetrock, changed water lines, tiled the shower and floor, and replaced all fixtures such as bathtub, toilet, and vanity. Not only did he take care of the construction of the bathroom, but it also needed to be redesigned. He was very pleasant to converse with back and forth and willing to giving his professional opinion on design tips and cost-effective methods, which was extremely helpful for a novice in remodeling. He was very considerate of my tenant and her needs when remodeling the bathroom. He finished the bathroom in a meticulous way, in which, she wouldn't be without the necessities in the bathroom ever. I would highly recommend Dave for any project you have in mind he will definitely make your vision come to life. read more

My wife and I recently purchased a new home in northern NJ and we were referred to Dave by a mutual acquaintance. It was very important to us that we get someone experienced, being as how we just made such an important, large investment. We needed to replace sliding doors that go out to our pool area, fix the roof, and finish our basement; we also had several other "odd" jobs, that Dave and his crew thoroughly completed on a tight timetable and at a fair price. The poolside sliding doors I mentioned above, were an especially important to replace. In addition to replacing the doors, the source of an active leak, allowing water from the door's framework to enter our basement, had to be discovered and fixed during the process. To complete the basement, Dave's team had to first put their masonry skills to work, by completely leveling the very uneven existing concrete floor. We also had Dave widen our stairway leading to the basement so we could fit a larger washer/dryer & fridge in our cellar. Lastly, we needed additional zone piping laid, and zone valves changed on our Utica furnace. Dave's expertise on both materials and finishes were paramount to our decision making process. We are both very pleased with the outcome. You can trust Dave and his team will will be honest with what you need and leave your feeling good about their completed work. read more

David and his team really can do it all! We just purchased our home a few months ago and needed a variety of things done: interior door installed, deck overhang replaced, oven fan and bathroom fan replaced, and sliding doors fixed up. From A to Z we couldn't have asked for better service. David answered the phone when I called, always showed up on time, explained what he was doing clearly, was responsive, and left everything clean not just after the job but at the end of each day during the job. I am thrilled to be able to find someone with such a wide variety of skills so close to where I live! On top of everything, David seems to be a genuinely nice and honest guy, he's very upfront and didn't hesitate to answer any questions or give us useful advice. I was talking to all these different companies for various types of services but I think now I'll just use Naples Optimal Solutions for most things. Highly recommend! read more
