Introduction

All around skilled handy person/carpenter. I have built high-end custom cabinetry and museum pieces, ultra-streamlined solutions to meet a budget, and everything in between. I have an architecture degree and 25+ years of experience building, making, troubleshooting and repairing - still love it. Excellent listener and client partner to ensure you love the end product; speedy and meticulous about getting it done. I leave my work area at least as tidy as I found it and take care of any and all any mess created by the project. For custom work, if you have a clear idea (or a fuzzy idea) of what you want to have built, I can help you understand the options, pick materials and a design, and get it done on time and on budget. PLEASE READ: I have a 2-hour minimum for service calls/coming out in person. No charge or time limit for working with clients remotely to review jobs, estimate time requirements, and identify materials and equipment - I want to be sure that I can execute your project once I come on site. For exterior work, nothing 2nd story or higher. I look forward to working with you!

Hired on Thumbtack

Eric is excellent to work with. He showed up on time, did exactly what he said he would do, and the finished product was top-notch. We hired Eric to work on some custom window sill trim to match pre-existing trim on other windows. He was able to build it all himself and the new windows perfectly match the ones we had elsewhere. Couldn’t be happier with the outcome. If you need a skilled craftsman for your next job, Eric is your guy. We will definitely be hiring him again the next time we need help with a project.

Eric was quick to respond, he very well understood what I was going after and most important he did such a great work in my home theater. I needed to build a false wall for my theater and Eric was such a great help. Three days of work and he was fast , efficient , kept me updated all along the way and used the time very efficiently. The end product was great and even more than what I expected. I am having him for a few other jobs now. 1. Fairly priced 2. Awesome to work with 3. Cleaned up the place every day he was done 4. Fun person Thank you, Eric for the work

Eric has great skills, fixing cabinets and communicating about my cabinets. His solutions are right on. He gave me a few suggestions on how to prevent problems with my cabinets. Eric fixed a cabinet door that had fallen off. He was persistent and tried different hardware until it was right. He also adjusted all the other cabinet doors in the kitchen. He is honest and fair. I would hire him again.
