Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I make an appointment with the client to come out to their house to meet with them and look at their project .
We discuss the client's tastes, ideas, desires and expectations for their proposed project.
We also discuss the client's budget and what kind of investment they expect to make for the project.
At that point I measure the area and take photos of where the work will be done.
I make an appointment to meet with the clients at our showroom at a future date to review plans, renderings and written proposal for the project. After the clients approve the final design,selections can start to be made for cabinets and other items needed to complete the project. After all selections are made, all items are detailed in a written contract and the project is placed on the schedule for work to commence.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have over four decades of experience in the remodeling business specializing in kitchens & bathrooms. I have been a carpenter, a supervisor, an expediter and a designer.

Describe a recent project you are fond of.
Very recently designed and built a Master Bathroom with a custom furniture like double rectangular sink vanity in white with a soapstone top. There are two custom matching partially recessed medicine cabinets with bevel edge mirrors and crown molding. The room is surrounded with classic white bead board wainscot panels, grey walls and dark stone tile floor and lighted only by small recessed ceiling LED fixtures. The shower is finished off with (3) different sizes of carrara marble tiles from floor to ceiling and custom clear frameless glass enclosure with exposed "barn door" style sliding hardware in chrome. The existing linen closet was replaced with a unique built-in open shelf linen storage which allowed for a larger shower. The bathoom is fully complemented with Kohler "Artifacts" polished chrome faucets, fittings and accessories.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?
A professional in the kitchen & bath business should be a problem solver and should work in your best interest at all times. He or she must be a good listener and be able to take your ideas and transform them into tangible realities and be commited to helping you realize your dream. The designer should be able to show examples of their work and possibly work done for other clients. There should be some evidence of alliance with a professional organization (s).
