Some kids grew up playing sports after school—Dave Dousharm grew up on a job site. For years, his father picked him up in his truck after the last school bell rang, handing him a tool instead of a textbook. He didn’t just learn how to build; he learned what it meant to take pride in his craft. Now, as the owner of DK Renovates, Dave brings over 20 years of hands-on experience and a legacy of three generations of craftsmanship to every project he takes on.

From mastering glass glazing techniques for over 16 years to honing his skills in woodworking, remodeling, and full-scale home rehabs, Dave has seen the best—and the worst—of the construction industry. He’s worked for contractors who saw clients as job numbers, cutting corners and ignoring customer needs. It didn’t sit right with him. So, he built DK Renovates—a brand that exists to do things differently.
 

Here, it’s not about volume. It’s about one trusted contractor handling all your renovation and repair needs—someone who listens, collaborates, and delivers on promises. Whether it’s a tricky remodel that seems impossible or a custom design idea that needs bringing to life, Dave finds a way to make it happen. With over 200 hours of OSHA (Occupational Health and Safety) training and decades of hands-on construction experience, Dave has a sharp eye for identifying critical structural dangers and potential hazards in the home—ensuring issues are safely addressed before they become costly problems, all while delivering work that’s both functional and beautiful.

​

But DK Renovates is about more than just construction. It’s about community. Dave takes pride in supporting local businesses and teaching his kids the importance of giving back. He’s not just building homes; he’s building trust—one project, one client, and one handshake at a time.
 

At DK Renovates, we offer a seamless, full-service experience for our clients. Our team is built with licensed specialty tradespeople—each an expert in their craft—so every detail of your project is handled with skill, care, and precision.
