My Services

Deck Refinishing

Years of exposure to the elements can take a toll on your deck's beauty and integrity. With my meticulous refinishing process, I will give new life to the weathered boards, unveiling their natural charm. From a thorough stripping and sanding to careful staining and sealing, each step is executed with a keen eye for detail. I have the skillset to restore your deck to its original splendour.

Drywall Repair

Whether it's minor dings, cracks, holes, or entire walls that need boarding and finishing, I possess the finesse to restore your walls to perfection! For my repairs I use quick setting compound for the initial coats, and for the finish coats I float with a wide Level 5 skimming blade. Any sanding that is required is done so with vacuum dust extraction. Zero mess.

Framing

Changing layouts, creating new door or window openings, framing around unsightly HVAC ducts, or framing for a new fireplace, I bring laser precision to every project.

Hardware/Art Installation

Updating cabinet handles to match your evolving style, mounting a decorative fixture that catches the eye, mortising new lock sets into your doors, or even just replacing light bulbs and smoke detectors I do it all.

Is your fence showing signs of wear and tear? I bring precision and care to every repair. Sagging gates, damaged pickets, Rotten Posts, I’ve got you covered!

Custom Carpentry Projects

Transform your ideas into tangible creations that enhance your living space.
