Quality Woodwork, Personally Managed
Adelaide Wainscoting is owned and operated by David, a fully licensed building contractor and finish carpenter. With 30 years of hands-on experience in carpentry, David has dedicated his career to the precise layouts, details, and joinery that define fine carpentry.
Whether crafting period wainscoting in classic character homes, matching intricate moulding details, or setting out Shaker and Hamptons style layouts in modern homes, David handles every project himself. There are no subcontractors or middle-men; David does the initial on-site laser measurements, drafts the custom panels, cuts the timber, and performs the installation.
