- After nearly 20 years working in the tech sector, primarily consulting and software startups, I wanted to spend less time traveling and more time doing something I was passionate about — while raising a family — so I made the decision to pivot, take a risk, and do residential construction full-time. Construction and Home Remodeling has always been something I have been drawn to, now I get to work with clients realize their dreams for their homes every day.
We prefer to work directly with homeowners who are invested in project success, are value-driven, and understand that you get what you pay for.
Our focus is to help homeowners realize their vision for their home.

- Renovate – Work with clients looking to add new square footage, renew/refresh existing spaces. Providing both design/build services as well as building from provided plans.

Our priorities on any project are to always plan ahead, remember that details matter, communicating better, being efficient, maintaining a clean job site, holding ourselves and our trades accountable, and doing it for a fair price.
Our communication process is straightforward as well, say what you are going to do, do it, ask for feedback, and focus on continuous improvement.
