How We Got Started

DB Carpentry & Restoration was established in 1997 by David Bradley. With a background in carpentry and hands-on experience working on older homes, David developed a particular appreciation for the craftsmanship and character found in historic New England buildings.

Over the years, the business has evolved from general carpentry and repair work into a restoration-focused company specializing in the preservation and rebuilding of aging homes. Today, DB Carpentry & Restoration focuses on restoring porches, exterior woodwork, trim, columns, stairs, and other architectural details while maintaining the original character of the home.

After nearly three decades in the trade, the goal remains the same: quality workmanship, honest communication, and restoration work built to last.

If I'm on the job it's at the end of the day. Most customers want lots of information, questions answered & solutions. Quite often I'll refer a customer to another service or a specialty  If I'm not a good fit  for them.  I enjoy doing that for people.
