About
We pride ourselves on being a community-based team that can both be relied on during a project and after such project - should the need arise.
We stand behind our work and take pride in our word.
As a licensed General Contractor, I hold a degree in Biology and Physics - allowing me a direct and comprehensive understanding of load bearing weight and how it interacts with structure. I served 5 years in the U.S. Air Force & 5 additional years as a U.S. Marine - which instilled the highest level of self-accountable integrity and pride in everything I do. I have 15+ years of diverse experience in the trades.
In addition, the entire Squared Away team collectively brings a comprehensive set of skills that encompasses all phases of construction which combined equate to decades of experience.
Thank you for taking the time to review Squared Away in consideration of your project!

Couldn’t recommend Barry and his team more highly. From the moment I reached out, he was responsive and clear about the work needing to be done, timeline, and budget for our water damage repair. He kept us posted at every step, walked us through decisions, and made sure we were fully happy with the results. Thank you Barry!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Our estimates are articulately detailed with no transparency, leaving no room for doubt as to where resources are allotted to.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
1. Telephone conversation to introduce one another as well as assessing customer desires along with temporal expectations as to potential project dates.
2. If step 1 deems we’re a potentially proper fit, an in-person meet is completed. This allows the customer an opportunity to make in-person assessment of who we are based on how we present. It allows us, the contractors - to visual inspect where said project will occur thereby effectively allowing us to accurately estimate.
3. An estimate is presented within a week of the in-person meeting. If said customer has completed due diligence - and decided we are the best fit to contractually move forward, a contract is drafted and agreed on.
4. Once a contract is in place, permits are applied for, initial payments secured, materials ordered, and start dates set in place.
