Thank you Enes and Kellie, out of Dyer, for reaching out to have me make a custom lid for their fireplace! 🙏

We decided to go with a marine-grade plywood to prevent any warping or possible weather damage in the future! At a perfect 36 inch circled, stained with Cabot deck stain, this has converted the fireplace to a convenient table! 💪😎🤙

Thank you Ann Marie, out of The Gates of St. John, for having me by this week to replace her garage door casing and seal! 🙏

As you can see, her previous casing has a bit of damage and needed to be replaced. We decided to go with my favorite, cedar, and it turned out perfect! 👌

Thank you to a couple of my favorite clients, Don and Beth out of St. John, for having me over today for another project! This time to build a fresh set of stairs in their garage. 🙏

As you can see, I went with premium construction lumber, instead of left-over treated lumber that was used on this "Builder's Special" you see in the first picture. Then topped her off with a heavy-duty handrail from Vevor. 💪 --- Btw, If I had my nail gun on me then I would have slapped that door trim back up. Lol.

Thanks again guys, you guys seriously are the best and can't wait for the next project! (Door trim included for free! haha) 🫶

Super huge "THANK YOU!" to Gene and Sharon, out of Schererville, for having me over a couple weeks ago for a screen porch make-over! 🙏

Just like the last couple I did, I removed all the old rotten framing (which I don't think was even treated, let alone cedar), the outside trim and old screen. Then reframed what was needed with cedar 2x4s, stapled rolls of the thick and durable pet screen up, then trimmed back with fresh cedar lumber. I even replaced the top little corner siding spots with fresh beveled cedar planks. 🔨

It turned out beautiful and I couldn't of asked for better people to work for! Thanks again, guys!

Thank you Denise, out of Hebron, for having me over to redo her much needed and slightly dangerous railings. 🙏

Clearly the last guy lied on the resume, because he definitely didn't know how to properly assemble railings. They just slapped on the spindles, didn't miter (angle) any of them, had them randomly (eye-balled) spaced from 4-5 inches apart (against code) and left a huge gap at the bottom where Denise had to put a board up across all the sides. 🤦‍♂️

But don't worry, don't fear, your neighborhood buddy with a saw is here! As you can see I swapped out the bottom horizontal supports and over 100 spindles (pro tip - space them using a 2x4, which is 3.5 inch wide and under the 4 inch code.) 💪

Again, thank you Denise, such a wonderful, multi-return client, one of the best!!! 🫶

Thank you Eraj, out of St. John, for having us over today for a new composite railing install! 🙏

Unfortunately, like many in the area, Eraj fell victim to the storms and had a tree take out half his railing. Luckily, his next door neighbor was already a satisfied Kinda Handy customer and referred him our way!

Thank you Cindi, out of Lowell, for having us over this week for a little porch/deck remodel! 🙏

First, we removed the hideous lattice that was plastered everywhere. Then we added CedarTone treated spindles in the back, replaced crooked ones, swapped out the front half of the decking that the sun destroyed over the years, replaced the drink rail with a solid piece, (look carefully at the original, probably 50 pieces assembled the drink rail, very odd) and replaced the step.

It not only opened up the whole area but looks so much better! Thanks again for trusting me with your project!
