Painting & Finishing Work
Careful, Skilled, and Lasting Work
I have spent decades perfecting my craft, approaching painting with patience and precision. I believe in doing the job right—taking the time to prepare surfaces properly, applying smooth, even coats, and ensuring clean, crisp lines. My focus is on quality and longevity, not quick fixes.
Whether refreshing a single room or painting an entire home, my work is steady and thoughtful. I use materials and techniques that bring out the best in a space, creating a result that looks good and lasts while staying within your budget.
What I Offer:
Interior and exterior painting
Cabinet refinishing and staining
Plaster and drywall repairs
Trim repair and replacement
Eco-friendly and low-VOC paint options
Small-Scale Contracting and Carpentry
Practical, Reliable, and Built to Last
I also take on select small-scale contracting projects, focusing on practical, functional improvements rather than high-end custom carpentry. My work includes straightforward, sturdy builds that improve a home’s usability or revitalizes outdoor spaces. I approach these projects with the same care and attention to detail as my painting work—prioritizing durability, efficiency, and a clean, well-executed finish while ensuring it looks beautiful in your space.
From installing new flooring to building simple decks and structures, my focus is on delivering solid craftsmanship that is both functional and beautiful in your home.
What I Offer:
Flooring installation (hardwood, laminate, vinyl)
Deck building and repairs
Outdoor structures (small sheds, pergolas, fencing)
Basic carpentry for functional home improvements
Handyman Services
Small Repairs, Big Difference
Not every home project requires a contractor, but having a skilled, reliable hand can make all the difference. I offer general handyman services for small repairs and practical fixes—helping homeowners keep things running smoothly without the hassle of big renovation crews. My approach is straightforward: show up on time, do the job right, and leave things better than I found them.
From replacing light fixtures to installing a toilet, adjusting a door, or tackling those small but necessary household tasks, I provide dependable, quality work for everyday home maintenance needs.
What I Offer:
Light fixture replacement
Basic plumbing tasks (installing toilets, fixing leaks)
Door and window adjustments
Minor drywall repairs
Installing shelving, curtain rods, and hardware
Other small home maintenance tasks
