Hello, my name is Jay I’ve worked in construction for over 20 years, specializing in finish carpentry, custom cabinet making, and furniture design and construction.
I’m skilled in a wide range of trades, including general carpentry, cabinet installation, trim and molding, furniture assembly, interior painting, minor plumbing, fixture and light electrical installation, and more. From custom cabinetry to detailed carpentry projects, I bring patience, calm focus, and professionalism to every job.
I’m able to give your project personal attention and work efficiently while keeping things clean and organized. Building and creating is what I truly enjoy, and I take pride in delivering work that looks great and functions well.
If you have a project in mind, I’d be happy to talk through the details and see how I can help.

Jay was very professional. He did a beautiful job on our door. We had other folks come prior quite frankly didn’t know what they were doing. Jay assessthe issue and did a wonderful job. Our door is like new now. I would recommend Jay to anyone who needs a Finish Carpenter and as we have more work needs here we will definitely contact Jay to do our work. He was very professional very humble. Highly recommended.

I hired Jay to create hard wood bases for some bronze sculptures that I was creating. Each image was different and we had to meet and throw ideas back and forth. Jay showed up for our appointments, on time, understood what I needed, and his finished work was beautiful.

Jay took on a small project I had to add legs to an existing cabinet I have. He made the legs and came and installed them today. He worked quickly and efficiently and I was happy with his work. I gave him another project as a result and would hire him again in the future.

This is my first time using Thumbtack and I was very pleased. It is difficult to find a tradesperson to work on a small project.
I was very impressed with the quality of Jays work. He built a custom spice cabinet with a barn door for my small kitchen and it is beautifully crafted.
It Is scary hiring someone you have never worked with before, but I have no reservations referring Jay to my friends.
I have already asked him to provide me with a quote for another project.
Details: Kitchen • No existing plans, but have a good idea of what I want • No existing cabinets to remove • Home

Jay was easy to work with as we had to communicate back and forth for this custom piece. He is knowledgable and helped me decide which wood and stain to go with. Will go to him to have more projects to work on in the future. Quick work & friendly pricing.
