Summary
Currently running my business as a fully self-employed finishing carpenter with a track record of managing multiple projects to successful completion under strict deadlines. I own all of my own tools and own a work-specific vehicle. I specialize in custom installations and project design, blending meticulous craftsmanship with effective project management. Over the previous decade, I have achieved increased repeat business through exceptional client relations and problem-solving skills, along with possessing excellent communication skills while interacting effectively with both technical and non-technical personnel at all levels.
I look forward to connecting and providing my services as a sub-contractor. Please feel free to reach out with any questions.
