I have been a carpenter for 32 years. Most of that time, I have been specializing in remodeling and renovations. The last ten years or so, I have worked extensively for " house flippers" and have expanded my areas of proficiency to include flooring, light electrical, drywall repair, light plumbing, tiling and painting . I have extensive experience in both interior and exterior trim work and because I work mostly alone, can control both the quality of the work performed and the timeliness of the job.
I really enjoy the creative process of a renovation or even a simple handyman project and being able to say , "I made that." The satisfaction of knowing I helped solved a problem,or helped make an improvement is very rewarding.

Dan was on time for both estimating the job and also the actual paint job. He was very conscientious about protecting my floors and covering all furniture in the area. He was very neat and accurate cutting in the trim areas. The bedroom and living room look fantastic. Personally, Dan was a pleasure to have in my home and I would not hesitate to hire him again.

I had one contractor walk out on the end of my house renovation leaving a ton of finish work and another that never showed up again after providing an estimate. I called Dan and he came out to look at the work the same day! Dan shared that his availability would be the next week, but made an accommodation and made time to start on one important area of the work for me the very next day just so that it could be finished in time for a bridal party I was hosting at my home. He was on time, easy to work with and affordable. We have several other items we are working on as a result of our original contractor leaving and will be happy to have Dan working with us to get through them!!

Of the six contractors I reached out to, Dan took the proposal seriously and with a reasonable cost unlike the rest. Due to broken pipes, a trench had to be cut across the house by plumbers to replace the waste line and then backfilled. After seeing the ugly result for three weeks, we are very happy with Dan's effort to restore our house to it's original condition.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
every job is different. that's why I ask to see things first.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Normally, I like to meet with a potential client and hear their ideas and plans for each project. That way, I can get a decent feel for what the project entails and I can give a more informed and accurate estimate instead of a ballpark figure.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have worked extensively in the carpentry trade,as a framer, a union carpenter doing light commercial work and as a remodeler. I took classes in woodworking, furniture making, and engineering. I have been a licensed general contractor in both Ohio and Georgia before moving to Florida. I have since returned to Ohio
