Building More Than Structures— Building Relationships
David Russell didn't set out to become Ocean View, Delaware's most trusted contractor. But after years of watching homeowners struggle with unreliable builders and cookie-cutter approaches, he knew there had to be a better way.
Founded on the principle that every project deserves personal attention, Family of All Trades has earned a stellar reputation among both year-round residents and vacation homeowners throughout the Eastern Shore. What started as David's commitment to doing things right has grown into a family business known for uncompromising quality and genuine care.
The Family Difference
As a family-run operation, we do things differently. We take on a carefully selected number of projects each year—not because we can't handle more, but because we believe every client deserves our complete focus. This selective approach means your project isn't just another job on our list; it's a partnership we're fully invested in.
When you work with Family of All Trades, you're not dealing with a different crew every week or wondering if corners will be cut to meet quotas. You're working directly with David and his trusted team—professionals who understand that your home is your most important investment.
Our Collaborative Approach
Whether you're planning new residential construction, a major remodel, or a commercial project, we believe the best results come from true collaboration. We work hand-in-hand with your designers and architects, bringing practical expertise to the planning process and ensuring every decision—from material selection to sustainable design integration—serves your long-term goals.
Our pre-construction services mean potential problems are solved on paper, not after work has begun. This attention to detail in the planning phase is what allows us to deliver projects on time, on budget, and beyond expectations.
See the Difference Quality Makes
Every project tells a story of craftsmanship, attention to detail, and a commitment to excellence that goes beyond just meeting specifications. Check out our project portfolio to see how we transform visions into reality, one carefully crafted project at a time.
