Do you have needed repairs or upgrades that you can’t or don’t want to tackle? Looking for advice or ideas on how to renovate or update the look of your home? We can help with making your home look new, more contemporary or more spacious while working within your budget. I bring a team of skilled professionals to ensure your project is everything you envision. My strong suit is my organizational, planning/scheduling and communication skills – these are the areas that most people in this industry fail at, and these are also the very areas that usually frustrate customers the most.

And a variety of other services - just ask…. My approach in my work
• Honest & Trustworthy – If I tell you I am going to do something, I do it. Nothing is more frustrating than someone not showing up when they say they will or not following through on promises – I see that a lot in this business. My parents - amazing role-models - that taught me that nothing means more than my word.
• Communication & Expectations – Before a project, I will actively listen to what you want, make suggestions, and identify any concerns I may foresee. I will outline a ‘scope of work’ to be sure we are on the same page about what you want and what your expectations are.
• You can count on me shooting straight with you – If during the project some unforeseen issues come up, I will make you aware and we will work together to revise the scope of the project and any associated time/costs that apply (example: replacing siding reveals that there is water damage to the underlying structure).
• Quality, aesthetics & professionalism – Unlike many people who do this work, I am meticulous about the quality and appearance of what I do and what my subcontractors do. I take the time and care to do projects the right way. I expect this in my own home, and I assume you want the same quality in yours. It isn’t enough to know how to do the work – you want someone who also has a good eye for design, color & appeal. I can also bring in/coordinate with a design consultant on the project if that is your desire.
• Have you had the experience of hiring a contractor to do a job but never seeing the job quite finished to your satisfaction? The last 10% of a project is always the most challenging. Most people easily visualize 80-90% of a task but the details of completing it are much harder to plan for and execute. I will take you on a final walk-through of your project to show you that all scope of work items have been completed. Should any item be discovered to be either incomplete or not done to your satisfaction, it will be noted on a Project Punch List. Only after all agreed to punch list items are resolved (and initialed) will your project be deemed complete and final invoice due for payment. My business relies on referrals. It is in my best interest to ensure you are happy with the results.
• Mutual respect is a must. You won’t hear music blasting through your house or smell ci******es or see breaks every hour – I will always be respectful of your home-life, schedule and privacy. At the end of a project, I will clean up completely – no messes left for you to deal with.
• If your project is beyond our expertise, or I think it just makes better financial sense to refer you to someone else, I will tell you that and support your choice.
