I quote most of my work by the job. Smaller check list items I charged by the hour.

Once initial contact is made I like to have photos and details of what the customer is looking for, as well what the current space looks like. Once I confirm the work is within my wheelhouse, I come over to take measurements and photos. I then provide a detailed estimate and dates available for scheduling. Once work and estimate is agreed upon I will ask for a deposit up front, this helps weed out the folks that aren't serious and covers some materials to get started. Most often I request 50% up front with the balance due once the project is completed. For projects estimated to take more than two weeks to complete a pay schedule contract will be put into place.

I have been trained in construction by some of the industries most talented carpenters. At the start of my career I was trained by one of Hollwoods top prop carpenters. He was the lead carpenter for several large film costumes and movie props, such as the Iron man, Transformer and Hunger games to name a few. This guy was an incredible mentor and teacher and taught me a lot of what I know when it comes to finish carpentry.

My grandfather was an engineer for the Air Force by trade and wood worker by hobby. I spent my childhood in his shop watching him build furniture and houses for himself. I've gained most of my knowledge over the years from him and then also from begin obsessed with "This Old House" and similar house flipping shows. I Spent several years working under a licensed general contractor before taking the leap of faith to open my own company in 2017.

Any and all!

My partner and I recently completed a full basement remodel. The basement was unfinished and the homeowner wanted a modern transformation to finishing the basement so she could comfortably hold breathwork workshops in the space. The project took just over 3 months to complete. We also have a knack for closet build outs, flooring, and painting.

Follow your gut and inner intuition. Experience and knowledge is key. Ask questions to figure out who you are hiring. Ask for recommendations or reviews from past clients. Always ask to see proof that they do the work they claim.

Just be realistic with yourself about budget, time line, expectations and use clear communication to achieve a stress free space transformation!
