Built From Scratch
About
The guys who taught me my skills were tradesmen of the old school. I learned more than carpentry and craft from them; they imbued me with the idea that any task that's worth doing is worth doing right, and that every job is the 'most important job'.
There is a deep gratification in seeing the physical change that takes over the workday. Like alchemists, we transform something old into something new -- whether that newness is a wall that wasn't there before, a room that is now a different color, or a view that had been obstructed.

I found Alex to be honest and professional, inventive and a creative thinker when it came to budget-conscious solutions for a kitchen remodel. He was pleasant to work with, and timely in his responses, bids and answers to questions. Recommended!

We recently hired Built From Scratch because of the top tier professionalism in the estimate process and quote. Alex sent us a very detailed quote along with video and pictures to show us what our final project would look like. He answered all of our questions and gave us honest answers. He worked with us on budget for the multiple projects we have going.
So far we are very happy and can’t wait to see the finished result

Alex was very knowledgable and helpful with problem solving a few odd jobs around the house. I am already planning on hiring him again for some larger renovation work.

Took off countertops and backsplash. Also, he cut down a bar height counter to counter height so we can make it into a breakfast bar. The work was very reasonability priced and well done. I would hire again.

Alex was great! Very professional, attentive, quality work, etc. He did two small projects for me, both of which came out perfectly. I would highly recommend him.
