Taylor Rd. 16'-0 Torsion Door

Another successful torsion door for the books, the old door caved into itself and the homeowners needed a garage door asap! Quick and easy job. I will be coming back to level off the slab so the door closes tight against the ground. The garage was poured into two parallel sections and division is in the middle of the door opening, in the winter it heaves alot! Nothing that cannot be fixed.

May St. Bathroom Flooring

This was my first Laminate flooring install, it was a late notice job for a woman, for her daughters bathroom. She wanted a new one because the old one was installed differently... and that resulted in pre-mature wear and tear. Some areas where not covered with flooring because of a height difference in sub floor. Check out the photos.

New 1/4" lauan sub flooring was installed and I shimmed it 1/16th of an inch to allow for a seamless transition into the closet area, rather then just not doing it which appears to have been the decision before.  

Screws every 4 to 6 inches apart

Contractors Insurance coverage update

Hello future clients, I am happy to report this small time contractor is now fully insured to work on and in your home. It has taken some time to hunt around for the right policy for a novice carpenter such as myself. Luckily Cross Insurance Company tailored a policy geared toward the types of work I will be doing. My policy covers me to do roofing replacement, repair and new construction roofing as well as renovations in homes up too 3 stories. If anyone should need proof of insurance, the way it works is that I call my company and give them the name and address of person requesting the proof and it arrives in the mail the next day. Very exciting start to spring 2014.

Quimby St. Bathroom Ceiling

This was a job reference from a couple of friends who are selling their home they are in and moving down the street in Augusta. They hired me to put a layer of sheetrock in their bathroom over their crumbling ceiling and then mud and prime it. I also put in a new light fixture to make their bathroom look nicer, as well as a shower pole kit for their old claw-foot cast iron tub. Check it out.

Grand Central Cafe`

Fixed the settings on my phone so photos do not over expose! 

This job was my first opportunity to do work in a place where it could be featured publicly in a way, I felt very inspired to go above and beyond on this one. I purchased dust barrier tools and to keep from covering this restaurant completely in dust! The owner of the restaurant came up with a creative plan to make more space in her kitchen by blowing through one wall and essentially boxing in the fridge in its own little pocket. It was not a fridge that gets hot on the sides, so we were safe to create a space just big enough for the fridge. However we did have an electrical conduit that was coming up from just under the fridge, through 16" of concrete. For a short time it was unclear if the line was going to keep the fridge from moving into its new corner. It just made it! Check out the photos!

 

This is the counter section that the owner will be commissioning me to replace. As you can tell, particle-board stands not to the test of time and water! This section was removed and temporarily braced to allow for the expansion off the kitchen.
