TACKLING YOUR DRAGONS
When there is an emergency, something goes bump in the night, water starts appear or ceases to flow, everyone can find my number. Years of fielding these types of construction-related questions from friends, family, clients, and realtors have become the "Foundation' of this venture. This site was created to share my experience directly with those who need it the most. YOU, You may not need it today, but there will be a point when you will, so bookmark us and keep checking back. We may have a blog post that interests you.
I have 40 years of experience running a General Contracting Company with a comprehensive background in residential design, new home construction, remodels, renovations, light commercial, and historic restorations. Operations and licensing from the East Coast to the Rocky Mountains and I have always welcomed homeowner involvement in the process. Part of my process was to inform and educate, so homeowners were confident in their decisions and, as a result, in my abilities and process. This same philosophy is now made available to you, no matter where you are.
Do You Own a Century-Old Home?
Century-old homes come in many styles and conditions. Most need some TLC. They also require a specialized approach, from sandstone foundations, balloon construction, slate roofs, to Knob-and-Tube electrical systems. I performed historic rehabs for years in the DC area, obtaining historic landmark designations for restored properties.
My mission
My mission is to help homeowners by giving them confidence in dealing with their homes. Whether you want to tackle projects yourself or only need to understand the process when someone else does the work for you. You will have questions, I have answers.
