I am a licensed teacher with the State of Ohio, I teach construction technology, which includes the basics of wiring, framing, plumbing, and drywall. I went to Ohio State University for my formal educational training. I also worked in the commercial and residential building fields for many years. I have experience in building homes from start to finish (I built my own and helped with others), and constructing commercial buildings.

I started working in the construction field many years ago as a teenager; I would go to work with my father who owned his own business. I shifted over and started working in commercial and industrial construction when I got older. I built my own home in 2004 and have assisted in the building of others. For the last 11 years I have been teaching classes in construction technology.

All types from Commercial to Residential

I just finished a basement for a client. He had about 800 square feet that I framed up, drywalled, wired and finished. There was also plumbing that I installed for a washer and dryer. This project took 3 weeks - working 8 hours a day. This client had his teenage son assist with the project, that way I could teach him everything we were working on. As a teacher, I always welcome the opportunity to pass on what I know.

When you hire a contractor, you should feel confident that he knows what he is doing. Ask questions. Look at reviews. If you get the feeling that he doesn’t know what he is doing, then you are probably right. A good contractor should be able to guide you through the process and explain everything that he is doing.

One of the things that I would recommend that that you give enough information to the professional. For example, if you write “need a wall repair," the contractor will have questions like: 1. Where is the wall? How high is it (8' vs. 24') 2. Is the wall or ceiling textured, because matching textured ceilings can be difficult 3. Repair small hole or large hole 4. Do you want the drywall finished and painted? Drywall repairs are usually 2 trips, because the drywall mud has to dry and be sanded
