Dave Mennicucci started Hands of Gold in Kill Devil Hills in 2006 — a name born from his grandmother’s belief that his hands could turn anything to gold.
Dave Mennicucci grew up with a passion for building. After years honing his craft, he brought Hands of Gold to Kill Devil Hills in 2006 to serve Outer Banks homeowners with the same care and quality he’d want on his own home.
Today, wife Deborah handles operations while sons David and Eric work alongside Dave on job sites. Every project gets the full family treatment — no subcontractors, no shortcuts.
