About
Greetings. I am Martin Chaney, a third-generation, union-trained plasterer and licensed, bonded general contractor serving the North Eastern Ohio area. Licensing in your municipality can be readily obtained if required. My team comprises highly skilled, union-trained professionals proficient in all aspects of construction, ensuring specialized expertise on your project. Our commitment to dust control is unwavering; we employ a three-layer protective system, in addition to padded drop cloths, to minimize impact and debris. Temporary partitioned work areas with doors maintain a dust-free environment, often leaving the site cleaner than upon our arrival. Furthermore, I am a member of the Better Business Bureau and the Kenmore Chamber of Commerce.
