About

35 years experience in all phases of construction. Retired contractor with a world of knowledge. Apprentice carpenter in the mid 70's. Journeyman for years after. I have worked on jobs of all sizes and complexities but now prefer to stay with the smaller remodel types. Having a degree in Architecture and years of experience in the industry, I am a great resource of information and skills. Like to work local and help with small jobs and tasks of various complexities and simplicities. Enjoy working and helping local friends and neighbors with tasks or projects they do not have the time for or do not have the tools or know how to complete in a professional manner. I take great pride in my work and relationship with my clients. The majority of the work I get is word of mouth based on my reputation and "job" time..

Hired on Thumbtack

This kind man"Clark" was nice enough to come to my house and fix 4 wood chairs I have that were broken and when I asked him how much he just said:"Merry Christmas". I needed the chairs since I'm expecting relatives over for Christmas. I'm very thankful he helped me out and now I'll have enough chairs for everyone on Christmas Day!!

Clark responded first with a bid and I accepted him. He has been prompt, fair, easy to talk with and competent. I would hire him again in a second.

Mr. Baxter did a great job in fixing a riser that was cracked due to water damage and insect. I needed a good strong repair and he was efficient, on time and knowledgeable. I won't hesitate to contact him again should the need arise. Thank you, Lee Anne Z.

Thank you Lee Anne. Let me know if you want me to come out and drill a hole for the drainage. I can swing by when in the area and do it...no charge.

I needed a handyman who was interested first, in doing a couple of small jobs. It can be hard to find a handyman willing to do that. Clark came out and fixed two doors that were sticking. It was a one hour job. He was reasonable, quick and capable. I will use him again.

Thanks for the review Mike. Hope to see you again soon.
