Why homeowners choose us:

Bathrooms require precision — especially in wet areas. We show our clients progress photos from start to finish, so you never have to wonder what’s behind the tile. Everything is built with longevity, cleanliness, and professional detail in mind.

Kitchens updates

Your kitchen is the heart of your home — and when it’s outdated or poorly designed, it affects the way you live every day. We specialize in both modern kitchen upgrades and full kitchen remodels, transforming your space with clean craftsmanship and high-quality materials.

Whether you need new cabinets, updated countertops, or a complete redesign from floor to ceiling, we handle the entire process from start to finish.

Our kitchen remodeling services include:

  • Full cabinet removal and replacement

  • Custom cabinet installation (or pre-built cabinets you purchase)

  • Countertop replacement (laminate, butcher block, granite, quartz, stone — we can coordinate trusted partners for stone fabrication)

  • Tile backsplash installation with precise layouts and clean cuts

  • Painting walls, ceilings, doors, and trim

  • Drywall repair and smoothing uneven surfaces

  • Flooring installation (vinyl plank, laminate, tile)

  • Lighting fixture updates (non-licensed electrical fixture swaps only)

  • Kitchen layout adjustments (removing soffits, adding trim, adjusting cabinetry)

  • Finish carpentry for a clean, modern look

  • Caulking, sealing & final detail work for a polished finish

Why homeowners choose us:

A kitchen remodel requires attention to detail — and we take the time to do it right. From leveling cabinets to matching grout lines to ensuring perfect trim work, every detail is handled with care. We provide progress photos throughout the remodel so you know exactly what’s happening behind the walls and beneath the surfaces.

You’ll love the result: a kitchen that is brighter, more functional, and truly set apart.

Tile Installation

Tile is one of the most noticeable details in a home — and the difference between amateur and professional installation is huge. We install tile with meticulous attention to layout, spacing, cuts, and surface preparation.

Tile services include:

  • Kitchen backsplash installation

  • Shower tile walls & surrounds

  • Tile floors

  • Niches and decorative features

  • Accent walls

  • Regrouting and tile repairs

  • Substrate prep for long-lasting adhesion and durability

Why homeowners choose us:

We use proper tools, leveling systems, waterproofing, and layout planning to ensure straight lines, consistent grout joints, and durable, long-term results. Your tile will look clean, crisp, and professionally installed — not rushed or uneven.

Finish carpentry

Finish carpentry is what gives a home its personality, polish, and high-quality feel. From new trim to fully custom built-ins, we create clean, detailed woodwork that elevates your space and adds long-term value.

Our finish carpentry services include:

  • Baseboards, door trim, and window casing

  • Crown molding & decorative trim

  • Accent walls, wainscoting, shiplap, shadow boxes, and paneling

  • Custom shelving & built-ins for living rooms, offices, and closets

  • Coffered ceilings and decorative ceiling details

  • Stair trim and detail work

  • Door installation and adjustments

Why homeowners choose us:

Finish carpentry is unforgiving — every cut, joint, and angle must be perfect. We take the time to measure precisely, install cleanly, and finish with detail so your trim work looks seamless, solid, and premium.

Flooring

New flooring can completely transform a room. We install durable, modern flooring with precision so every plank lays flat, evenly, and securely.

Flooring services include:

  • Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) installation

  • Laminate flooring

  • Tile flooring (small and medium areas)

  • Subfloor preparation & minor leveling

  • Baseboard replacement or trim finishing

  • Transitions and thresholds

Why homeowners choose us:

We focus on the details that most installers skip — underlayment, expansion spacing, transitions, and trimming — giving your floor a smooth, clean, long-lasting finish.

DRYWALL REPAIRS & FINISHING

Can you spot where the electrician fell through this ceiling installing these lights?

Damaged drywall is noticeable — and poorly repaired drywall is even worse. We restore walls and ceilings to a perfectly smooth finish, ready for paint or painted.

Drywall services include:

  • Small patch repairs

  • Full wall & ceiling repair

  • Drywall installation for remodels

  • Taping, mudding, sanding, skim coating

  • Texture matching (where applicable)

  • Stain-blocking & primer application

Why homeowners choose us:

We don’t leave ridges, uneven patches, or visible seams. You get smooth, clean walls that look like new — not like a repair.

INTERIOR PAINTING

A great paint job makes a home look fresh, clean, and renewed. We focus heavily on prep work, clean cut lines, and premium finishes.

Painting services include:

  • Wall, ceiling & trim painting

  • Surface prep, sanding, and cleaning

  • Caulking and filling gaps

  • Door and baseboard painting

  • Accent walls & color updates

  • Whole-home refreshes

Why homeowners choose us:

Most painters rush — we don’t. We prep your surfaces properly and deliver crisp edges, smooth coverage, and spotless cleanup.

Handyman services

Perfect for homeowners who want small projects and repairs done correctly — by someone who actually understands construction, not just quick fixes.

Handyman services include:

  • Caulking and sealing

  • Door adjustments & hardware installation

  • Trim repairs & touch-ups
