Executive Carpentry services for your Home and Business. 
If you need a contractor there can be no substitute. Read this and Read this.
Check your contractors license and insurance Oregon or Washington.
Some jobs are too small for a contractor to look at or even return your call therefore, my services can fill that void between doing it yourself and hiring a contractor. I am a one man show. No employees. I take care of small projects usually one day or as much as week long projects.
Oddly my niche seems to be helping those that are helping themselves. My people usually use me several times over the course of a project. So, I come in and do a day's work to help further your project as needed and help you through a rough spot.
I am the guy other carpenters call to work on their houses. From concrete/footings to framing, sheetrock, tape & texture, painting, cabinet installation to hardwood floors, doors & windows, casing/trim/moldings and more much much more.
I do this for a living full time for construction companies. I encourage my clients to work with me doing as much physical (hands on) as they can whereby controlling both quality and cost. Currently my offerings include all the tools and experience required for any project. Home owners obtain any permits required by cities or counties.
You would hire me for projects ranging from a few hundred dollars to several thousand dollars. *Note on rates
Doctor, Dentist, Lawyer, Optician, Therapist, Banker, Broker, Beautician. You have chosen these specialists due to the trust you have developed over time.
Yet, when you want carpentry services you go to the yellow pages, find a stranger and, ultimately hire the lowest bidder to come to your home or Business to fulfill your needs
Stop doing that. Don't take carpentry from strangers.
The bad contractor horror stories never cease to amaze. Told to me by customers, owners, and end users. Stories about how they wanted some type of construction/carpentry and how disappointed they were with the work that was performed or by the lack of quality/work ethic demonstrated by the contractor's employees. There is so much you can do for yourself with a little coaching.
The reason for this can be that you get the same trades people whether you are building a track house or a multi million dollar single residence.
That being said, I am offering my services to assist you to achieve your desired goal. As your carpenter I am dedicated to do the best job possible now and in the future. I want you to call me back to do more work in the future as well.
I am honest, timely, skilled, tooled, and experienced with a wide and varied knowledge base that will be needed to complete your project. I have more than 24 successful years in the building industry as a carpenter trades man. I have been exposed to problems and solutions that will insure the level of quality, and timeliness that you should have every right to expect when paying money for construction services. You will not find me in the yellow pages as I am not a contractor. I do this full time for a living. I am familiar with an ever revolving network of other trades people who may be needed for your project.
Lets talk about your project and what I can bring to it.
Originally from New England, I moved up from Fresno Ca. in 1993 to work for a institutional casework manufacturer a.k.a. cabinet company. I was a carpenter/Forman cabinet installer for 13 years. I have personally installed millions of dollars of commercial casework (cabinets) all over the Pacific Northwest. Click to see some of my work.

I am in my mid 40's and an avid outdoors person. If not working I am Skiing, Mtn. biking, hiking, climbing, camping, rollerblading or any combination of the other adventure sport(ings).
