We do our own stunts! We don’t line item invoice. Cost is inclusive and includes all aspects of your project other than materials which is why we provide materials receipts.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

My father was in the construction business all of my life, So I was exposed to it at an early age. I have been on the scene since the time I was big enough to carry a board!

It’s been my favorite aspect of all the work I have been trained to do.

What types of customers have you worked with?

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

The office enclosures I have been working on with my assistant are particularly enjoyable because it gives us a creative edge and allows us to work with our clients preferences more in depth, creating the style they want for an affordable price. Every door tells a story. Every door is important. I particularly enjoy the challenges; It’s about the process, not the time, and I am able to learn from my experiences which is beneficial to both myself and other clients.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

Experience is the utmost important aspect of any contracting job! Good communication is also important; I want you to understand the process as a consumer. Flexibility is also important, I want to be there for you as soon as possible. Weather here is unpredictable! So I strive to make it easy for clients to schedule and I believe punctuality is very important.
