History

Established in 1988.

I started doing home repairs in the 1970’s, doing every sort of repair, as needed. By the 1980’s I was doing remodels and got my general contractor’s license. In 1992 my wife and I built a spec’ house in the hills of Berkeley. Since then, I have done one whole-​house remodel, and one tear-​down/​rebuild on houses we have owned. The work I do for others spans the scale from kitchen or bathroom remodels to small repairs or installations.
