Company Overview

I have been in construction of some type for 25 years. I first started out in the 1980s as a Carpenter helper, Later I work as surveyor and welder. Then as most young men the road called me. And I used my skills combined to get work as a Mill Wright "Traveling jack of all trades" After trips to the great lakes, Gulf coast of Texas And all sorts of plants in between. I picked up a large set of skills. When I returned to Atlanta in 1991 I worked as Field Engineer for The CONLAN CO. And started a career in Concrete ... See More tilt up buildings. I really enjoyed working in such large scale. I made it to post of Traveling Superintended and did work around the south east. but travel was just not for me.

As of the past few months some of my 3 D Historical model work has become notice Thanks to a Russian Group I do beta testing for. And Networx has drawn me a few new clients too!!

Home Maintenance & Repairs: Should I fix my broken doorknob or replace the whole door?

I use the time VS materials method to do an estimate. Then I add a day to the job in labor to cover any unknown issues I may face. I look at what the material cost is VS my hourly rate and go from there. With the economy so slow I try to give my customers the best value for the price. I had rather have repeat customers.
