About

For more than 29 years, I have enjoyed a great career as a trim carpenter, millwork designer, moulding expert, and faux finisher. You can view many of my designs, craftsmanship, and the various elements that I work with in my profile images. I am semi-retired now, but I really enjoy helping my clients create the looks they desire. I intend to keep doing great work for many years to come! Thank you so much. Dominic

Dom did a fantastic job for us -- and truly saved our foyer renovation project! We had a disappointing experience with another contractor who misrepresented their carpentry skills – and couldn’t deliver what we wanted. Dom came in, immediately understood the design issues, and offered smart, professional solutions to get us back on track. The picture frame moulding design he installed in our stairwell looks awesome! He was meticulous in his work—from precision installation to thorough cleanup—and delivered everything within the exact timeframe he promised. His craftsmanship and attention to detail are outstanding, and he handled a stressful situation with total professionalism. We’re incredibly grateful we found him—and without question, we’ll be asking Dom back for future projects in our home. If you’re looking for someone who knows what they’re doing and takes pride in their work, Dom is your guy.
