Company History

The owner spent 28 years in telecommunications building cell towers across the U.S. and abroad. After years on the road, he chose to settle closer to home and shifted to home remodeling about 10–12 years ago. That move let him bring heavy hands-on skill to local houses. Over time the company added plumbing, electrical inspection, and drywall to meet neighborhood needs.

Leadership

Jim runs the business. He likes working with his hands and enjoys seeing a job finish well. His background on towers taught him to take safety seriously and to work carefully at heights and in tight spaces. He lives nearby and prefers local work that keeps him in the community.

Jim stays active with neighbors and tradespeople in the area. He focuses on steady, practical fixes rather than flashy upgrades.
