Residential Repairs, Installations and Small Construction Projects

HOME REPAIRS and
SMALL CONSTRUCTION
PROJECTS

You can hire honest, conscientious help that works for your best interest.

... because it you wanted to gamble you would go to Las Vegas.

With building design and construction administration experience starting in 1979 and construction project management experience starting in 1998, I undertook renovating my own property in 2000 with the intention of subcontracting out the work. Due to ludicrous subcontractor pricing at the time I moved to doing the majority of work personally. In the process I acquired the tools and skills needed to perform most home repair and small construction projects.

Initially at the request of friends having difficulty finding responsive interested contractors, I have undertaken home repairs for others. My design and management background provides insight into how buildings are put together and where to look for construction problems.

Service is targeted to meet your needs. All work is done to current building standards and nothing is covered up for you to find latter.

If it is in or around your home I will likely be able to help you with it. Please ask.
