I started this business in early 2015 after retiring from a 35 year career in insurance claims. I had been repairing and remodeling just about all my life but it had always been projects in my own homes. My original business plan was to work a couple of days a week to supplement my fixed retirement income. My initial customers hired me for smaller projects but a couple of factors came together that changed everything. Most important was the quality of my workmanship and the high degree of satisfaction that all of my customers openly expressed. This built trust with these customers, who then recommended me to their friends and family. This grew my business in terms of the number of jobs that came my way.

Another factor was simple good timing. It is something of a cliche but sometimes “timing is everything.” At the time that I opened this business, the economy was finally solid enough for homeowners to feel more comfortable spending money on projects that had been delayed for the previous seven years. I began getting requests for much more extensive remodeling projects, ranging from major kitchen and bathroom remodels to complete basement remodels and updates from their original 1970 era conversions.

I still do smaller projects for new and existing customers but the scope of available services has greatly expanded and I welcome projects of almost any size.
