Hans did a fantastic job with the gables on my house. They were in terrible shape, and he came up with a great way to fix them without changing the historic design. I would use him again, and recommend him. He was responsive and friendly, and showed up when he said he would.

I needed help figuring out what to do about some gaps between my door and the frame and Hans came out within hours of me contacting him. I initially thought the whole door and frame needed to be replaced but he determined just the jamb needed to be straightened out and he fixed it right then and there. It took him under an hour and he even showed me what exactly the issue was when the trim was off. He saved me a ton of money and headaches!! I will call him back for any future issues that may pop up.

Hans did beautiful work installing crown molding in my home. He was professional, kind, and wonderful to work with. He was more than fair on estimates and pricing. I will definitely hire again on future projects.

Very friendly and arrived early to the appt. Came out to give us a quote and stuck to the original price we were quoted for. Trim work with difficult corners around a counter top. And 5 transition pieces. Transition pieces are the doorway piece between carpet and vinyl/laminate/tile, etc.
Finished in less then 2hrs. And the job looks immaculate. He charges a very fair price. Would hire again
Thank you!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I give high value to the artistic side of this type of work. I also charge a reasonable price for the current market and the customers' needs. ***When customers ask me to include materials for the job, I do charge for each trip needed, not only because of the constantly increasing gas price, but also because of the scarcity in materials in the market***
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We tackle the project expectations, possible hiccups along the way, follow guidelines from customers and recommend what's best according to my experience
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have learned about sculpting, writing, designing, coloring, creating, crafting, solving, and combining different materials and shapes since I was 12 from artists, teachers, and builders. I have incorporated these into my own work for a distinct and signature style.
