About
I provide a wide range of home improvement and maintenance services including electrical and plumbing repairs, mini split AC installation, interior and exterior painting, fence construction and repair, deck and pergola design and construction, as well as backyard, bathroom and kitchen remodels.
I hold an engineering degree in software and electrical engineering and I bring that same precision, problem-solving mindset, and attention to detail to every project. I take pride in delivering high-quality, well-finished work that’s done right the first time.
