FAQs
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I started out in 1991 working with a sub contractor for Sears, installing vinyl siding. I really enjoyed that summer, but didn't think of being a contractor as a career. I joined the Marines, and through the ensuing years helped a lot of people with their homes. When I moved to Iowa, I started doing more and more jobs for friends and family. Up to and including full bathroom and kitchen remodels. I realized then, that I had the potential to turn my hobby into a career!
- Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?
Last summer I did an entire kitchen remodel. Complete with removing a wall, and building a custom breakfast bar.
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Get at least three detailed bids. Keep in mind the lowest bidder may not be the best! Ask questions about types of materials, and their differences! Don't be afraid to ask for references. I have a list of references available upon request.
