WELCOME
If you are looking for someone to perform home or business (residential or commercial) repairs, maintenance, modifications, or consulting then you have come to the right place. I am a licensed builder in the State of Michigan. I provide these services within Oakland County and the surrounding suburbs. I never take short cuts to complete a repair and I always stand behind my work. I use materials that are proven durable and compatible with materials surrounding the repair.
In addition, I have a CAPS (certified aging-in-place) certification. I can provide consulting or handle your specialized handicap and aging-in-place needs for things such as ramps, grab-bars, railings, etc.
My website attempts to provide you with a reflection of my services and workmanship so please take a look. Or, feel free to call to discuss your needs or for advice….advice is always free.
The pictures below are some of the pictures I have taken while completing some of my projects. They are captioned to explain what is happening in each photo. So, when you scroll over them you will see a brief description. If you double-click on any of them it will take you into full slide show mode so you can see the full photo.
Original bifolding 48 inch twin closets divided by a wall
Template made for constructing the doors. Also provided customer a visual of end-product scale.
Removed the closet doors and the wall in between the two separate closets. Added a closet system to the inside of the closet. Installed crown moulding, chandelier, and updated the hardware. I patched and stained the oak floors where required for a seamless completion.
I custom made the 4, 30" doors and installed a bypass track system, with crystal knobs and a crystal chandelier to finish the job.
