About Us
Our Story
David started his construction career at a very early age of 8 years old as he worked on the construction job sites for his father, Richard Wilson of Georgetown. He learned everything from his father, including hard work, family values and a strong love of faith. David’s hard work ethic and determination were instilled in him at a very young age.
In 1997, Dave branched off from his family’s business and started Coastal Homes & Design, formally known as Wilson Contracting Inc. Over the last 3 decades, Dave has grown a strong, stable, and growing company that has been built on reputation. From custom homes, renovations, commercial jobs, and insurance damage jobs, David has continued to build a “recession-proof” business. During the downturn of the economy in 2009, the companies owned by David continued to have steady growth. This can be attributed to his business philosophy, which is “Building On Our Reputation”.
In 2009, with the record growing water table levels throughout Kent and Sussex Counties, David discovered a service that was needed. He started Delaware Crawl Space Company, his 2nd company. Now nearly 20 years old, Delaware Crawl Space Company focuses on water management, structural and overall health of residential and commercial crawl spaces throughout Delaware. David’s discovery has led to nearly 500 annual maintenance contracts and over 2000 treated crawl spaces throughout Delaware and Maryland.
David’s love for investing and growing his businesses in the community did not stop with Coastal Homes and Delaware Crawl Space. In 2024, David partnered with K.C. Conaway and purchased a very successful crawl space company in Maryland – DryTek Crawl Space Solutions. DryTek has been in business since 2006 and serves clients in both Delaware and Maryland. With a total of 4 successful companies under his belt, David is always looking for the next step on how he can make an impact in his community. David has been married to the love of his life, Angel Wilson, since 1996 and has 2 children, Chloe and Chase, and they all reside in Lewes, Delaware.
“Although we have dedicated, hardworking, trustworthy employees, I am involved in all aspects of the day-to-day operations within all of my companies. Delaware Crawl Space Company was founded on the principles of whole house health. Getting clean air to breathe starts with an environment that is purposely controlled. We look forward to doing business with you.”
