Introduction: We try to remain competitive, but we are not in a hurry. Better to get the job done right. I enjoy the before and after of the job. Taking an outdated home and making it look new again. Or, a blank canvas of new construction and building. The work is rewarding to me.

Scott came by to give me a quote on repairing some panels on the front of our house. We are looking to eventual change to siding, but waiting. Rather than lying to us and trying to get the job, Scott was honest and recommend going with the siding rather than fixing it even though his company couldn’t do the siding for us. I appreciate Scott’s honesty! I would recommend going with his company!

Details: Plaster • No, I will need the carpenter to provide the molding or trim • This is just an installation job - no design needed • As recommended by carpenter • 41 - 80 ft • I do not need it painted or stained

Scott recently repaired some damaged wood on the exterior of our home. He was extremely knowledgeable and I couldn’t be happier with the results. He was able to diagnose the cause of our problem and provide all available options without any pressure. I would recommend him to anyone without hesitation.

Scott did a nice job for us. It was a small bathroom baseboard project. We accidentally bought chair rail instead of baseboard and Scott went with my wife to pick out the right stuff.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I typically use estimating software to price work, but, every job is different and I use my experience to make adjustments. All jobs get a written proposal and here in Illinois they get a copy of the Consumer Rights Brochure issued by the Attorney General's Office.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to meet with them personally and discuss what it is they want to do. A lot of folks think they can get by without plans; for small projects this may be true. But for larger projects the investment in plans by an architect a designer will save money in the long run and eliminate disputes over interpretation of who wanted what.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I went to Kishwaukee College and NIU with majors in Industrial Technology. Later in life I also attended Northwestern University in Advanced IS Project Management and went to McHenry Community College to become a EMT
