About Me:

I have worked in residental construction for over 15 years. I have completed new homes, renovated apartments into town homes, and turned a old dry cleaners into office suites. I have worked all stages of home construction from digging footings to finish carpentry.

Favorite area of home improvement:

I enjoy taking on the projects that are difficult to solve. I work very hard on roof and basement leaks.
