You've just moved to Paris. The apartment has almost no storage, not two walls are parallel, and nothing you buy in a shop quite fits. I'm David, a qualified carpenter — I build what the room actually needs, made to measure, and we sort the whole thing out in English.
I spent nine years of my life living abroad, seven of them in China, then Vietnam and London. I know what it's like to land in a country and try to organise your home in a language you're still learning. That's part of why I enjoy working with people who've just arrived here. I speak fluent English and conversational Mandarin.
I hold a French carpentry qualification (CAP Menuiserie) and work across Paris and the surrounding departments: 75, 91, 94 and 77.
What I take on:
Fitted wardrobes, dressing rooms, alcove units and shelving, built to your walls
Kitchen fitting and installation
Built-in furniture and interior joinery, made to measure for the room it lives in
Floor laying
The practical jobs that pile up in the first months after a move: shelves, brackets, wall fixings, furniture assembled and properly anchored
I also have easy access to a van, so picking up your materials, bringing furniture in and taking the old units and packaging away is rarely a problem.
How it works: we start with a call or a message. Send me a few photos of the space with some rough measurements and I'll come back to you with a written quote in English, with the full cost set out before anything begins. No surprises at the end.
My business is fully registered in France (SIRET 941 214 264 00025) and insured, including the garantie décennale, the French ten-year structural guarantee that protects you as the client. I'm happy to send the certificate before you commit to anything.
Tell me about your space and what you need from it.
