After 17 years of doing construction on the side, alongside music ministry, I decided it is time to follow my passion and do it full time. I love the proccess of discovering the dream behind a project and making it reality. Few things beat the feeling from seeing a customer satisfied with a job well done - often becoming a friend during the course of the project, and being referred to their family and friends.

We take pride in our craftsmanship, mostly it's the quality that separate us bc we let our work speak for itself... WE DON'T DO WOOD!! We are not carpenters!!!! When the customer come up with something unique and we are able to build it just as they picture it. The look on there faces and smiles bc knowing we gave them just what they wanted, it's the feeling when you know that you gave them there hard earned money worth or what they wanted.. We don't do any wood fences or anything with wood!!!...
