“My passion for finishes show in my attention to detail whether working with wood, tile, paint or stains.”

After fifteen years of working in various construction trades, I decided to start my own business. It has been an interesting and somewhat unconventional journey that brought me to this point. I began as many do, as a painter and floor refinisher while still in school. I was at Penn State working on my BA in art history, when I got a job fixing up old houses for a real estate company.

I have always been curious about how things are constructed and what makes different building elements actually physically work together. Also, it was clear then that an office career was not one for me. So I kept reading about art and architecture, and started learning how to paint houses, refinish floors and work with trim to capture the beauty of the houses style.

After that, I did considerable work on churches for Ringler Restoration in and around Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where I spent a lot of time on scaffolding. From there I got into high-end finishing at a custom cabinetry and millwork shop in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and then into tile-setting and wood-work restoration in San Francisco, California.

I have worked at facilities as well as residences both large and small. I consider my construction experience to be well-rounded, I know the rigors of demolition, framing, substrate stabilization and construction however, I have chosen to specialized in the finishes because it blends my love of art, architecture, and materials together. My passion for finishes show in my attention to detail whether working with wood, tile, paint or stains.

My goal in starting my business is to offer my clients a project management style that builds trust and confidence, offers practice solutions, and beautiful results that meets their vision and requirements.
