Our Story

Built by Family.
Trusted by OBX.

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. Today Dave works alongside his wife Deborah and sons David and Eric, serving every homeowner from Corolla to Hatteras Island.

After 20 years on the Outer Banks, we’ve earned a BBB A+ rating and the trust of hundreds of OBX families who call us back project after project.
