I grew up on the shoreline my whole life and thanks to my father who was an accomplished electrician and self-taught carpenter, I was blessed with the personal experience of all his home improvement skills. There was always a room in our houses that was "under construction", and that was just fine with me. I have a degree in Mechanical Engineering and have worked in the Architectural Design Drafting field, even teaching for a number of years. All of which solidified my love and skills in home repair, renovation and construction. With all of my background, I have the inate ability to not only solve your home repair/improvement needs, but also to show and explain how I can accomplish your projects with good planning and functional design, based on your vision. I can prepare sketches and drawings when needed and will work with you to bring your projects to successfull completion without over-running your budget. Here are some of the things I can repair, install or construct: cabinets, walls, decks, stairs, ramps, roofs, gutters, siding, doors, windows, interior and exterior trim, locksets, outlets, switches, light fixtures, ceiling fans, exhaust fans, kitchen cabinets. I also do wall patch repair and painting and I can mount flat screen TV's and setup any electronics. I can do plumbing repairs including replacing/repairing toilet, sink or tub parts, reseating leaky toilets, replacing valves and faucets.
