I got into this business in the 1990’s when I used to buy and remodel homes to sell. I started out converting little 1920’s era two-bedroom mill houses into fully updated craftsman style bungalows.
As work progressed, neighbors stopped by and asked me about the projects. They were thrilled with the improvement. They told me that my projects were adding value to their neighborhood. They would stop by, bringing coffee in the morning or a Coke in the hot afternoon. They asked questions about what I was doing and shared home improvement ideas about their own homes. Eventually they asked me to come by their homes, hear their ideas, and impart how-to advice.
Giving advice always turned into the start of several home remodeling projects. I helped one family build a deck, a fence and replace some windows. For another I remodeled their outdated kitchen. One included the updating of lighting and electrical systems and adding a new HVAC system. On another house we raised the roof to convert an attic into a bedroom and bathroom. Soon I started building infill new construction homes as well. My clients were all thrilled with the results. My phone began to ring with referrals and more projects started.
I already had a passion for building. Now I was adding the enjoyment of the relationships with these people and I developed a passion for helping them convert their visions into realities. I soon realized that homeowners valued the depth of knowledge I had acquired over the years.
I became passionate about this process; building relationships and creating a synergy that brought together the homeowner’s visions with my know-how. We worked closely together to create a space that was more suited to each family's lifestyle, needs, and desires.
This passion became my business. I create spaces that families call home.
I grew my business with a blend of environmental respect and an objective towards distinctive detailing. I have a mutual commitment to classic architecture, smart floor plans, sustainable design, and energy efficiency. I have always believed in seeking out the highest-quality products and better building sciences.
I take the time to build a relationship with each customer during the pre-construction phase. I take the time to fully understand the unique needs and desires of each homeowner. I create a detailed project plan before construction starts to ensure that expectations, schedules, and budgets are respected. I use proprietary systems to carefully manage my projects and stay closely connected with my clients to make sure the project is carried out as planned and promises are fulfilled.
I think of my business as more than just building with sticks and bricks. I take pride in knowing that I am in partnership with my customers to create a space that they will call home. And I always stay focused on what makes a house a home. |
