Company History
The business began with hands-on training in 1980 in Taunton, Massachusetts, where the founder learned the trades from his father. That practical approach carried through decades and a move to Illinois. Today the family runs projects across multiple generations, with skills passed from father to son and now to the next crew members.
Over time the focus stayed local: solid repairs, sensible estimates, and help with older homes that need attention after harsh winters and humid summers.
Leadership
The owner grew up on job sites and now leads the field crew. He brings long experience in carpentry, painting, and basic electrical and plumbing work. The company stays active in the community by working with landlords, small business owners, and homeowners around DeKalb.

- Everyday household repairs: fast fixes for doors, floors, and fixtures.
- Form deck and staining work plus drywall and painting for older homes.
- Hands-on experience since 1980 with three generations involved in the trade.
