Customers should know I'm not the cheapest out there. I have no desire to be. I'm comfortable losing jobs to price and uncomfortable turning out anything besides a great product. As of 2023 all jobs are hard quoted in lieu of an hourly rate. Call me for a free quote.

The typical process for working with new customers is simple. 1. I'll need your contact information and an address. 2. We set up an appointment that works for you. 3. I show up on time, and if its a small job you'll get a quote right on the spot. If I have to do some calculations for materials etc. I head back to my shop, calculate your job and send you a PDF quote via e-mail.

Before starting my own company... I worked under the close eye of 2 general contractors, and 1 subcontractor. I've been a general laborer, delivery driver, warehouse clerk, warehouse manager, purchasing agent, supply chain management logistics coordinator, carpenter, estimator, project manager, and finally in 2019 a business owner. All of my experience has been hands on. Its my favorite way to learn. Thomas Edison once famously said “I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.” Like him, I'm not afraid to make mistakes. If I make a mistake, I admit it, I fix it, I learn from it and I do even a better job next time. This is the best experience I could ever gain. If I could do it all over again I wouldn't change a thing. I really feel a sense of accomplishment when I finish a project.

I've been around the trades since I was a kid. I'd hand my dad the hammer he needed as soon as I could walk. My entire family has been in the construction trades, for a very long time, in fact I just realized I'll be the fourth generation in the trades. There's a lot of knowledge there. If I can't figure out what direction to go I have a large network of family to call. And now they call me for advice! Straight out of high school I knew I wanted to work in the trades and that's exactly what I did!

Homeowners, commercial building owners, renters, landlords, government employees, property managers, condos, HOAs.

Last year I worked with a customer. I completely transformed the property from unlivable to the nicest one on the block. It took about 10 months and the transformation was so dramatic. It still feels good to reflect back and know I was a part of that.

Do your homework. Of course my profile is going to tell you how great I am. This is no different than my competitors. You (the customer) must come up with creative ways to read between the lines. Does the contractor ignore my calls? Ask me questions you already know the answer to. Compare my answers with your own knowledge. Does it line up? Ask technical questions. Observe how I respond. Do I give vague responses or precise answers? When the contractor comes to the job site are they driving a Mercedes wearing a suit and tie that's never seen a jobsite before? Are they driving a broken down truck with paperwork stacked tall on the front dash that hasn't been filed since 1990? Are the tools in the van disregarded and thrown in a pile, a possible foretelling of just how your expensive materials will be handled when you hire them. Is their equipment new, broken down, or just properly worn? Ask questions, observe the responses, make your decision.
