Architectural Artist & Handyman

Hello! I am Joseph Barber, master carpenter and builder and all-around adventurer of life.

I was a soldier for some time. It was a hard, yet wonderful job. Quite the education you might say, and it helped me
develop leadership skills, as well as communication skills, giving me the ability to operate and run a crew from one person to one hundred, with success.

I'm a top-notch tile setter and builder, high-end mostly. From small repairs to million-dollar mansions, from new construction to remodels, I'm your man. Transform your dated house to something your neighbors will envy.

I'm specializing in high-end custom design and natural stone.

I'm looking for reasonable trades or bids, and work or barter.

My 28 years of experience in the construction and maintenance field is as follows:

* honorable discharge - Fort Dix, NJ from April 4, 1980 - December 2, 1992
* tradesmen services - from May 16, 1992 to present October 4, 2010

I am seeking long-term employment, yet do not object to any temp or contract labor for hire. I will be an asset to any potential employer.

I'm willing to relocate, and to prove myself as one of the top tradesmen in the construction industry today.

In short, if you're looking for a team player, or someone who is a self-starter and can work independently, someone who is willing and capable of taking on responsibility without pause or reflection, then I am your future employee.
