Calling all Referrals

To my past clients - I'd love the give you a thanks for all the referrals. I'm 100% dependent on your feedback and your referrals to you friends and family. Tell me if you've given my name out, to whom, and I'll do my best to refer you. Here's how referrals work for me.

Guy I know gives my name to a restaurant owner, I do work on his business and his home, he recommends me to a guy he meets at Home Depot, do work for that guy, he refers me to a friend trying to sell a house needs some love, I work there and his other house, then 2 years later I get a call out of the blue from someone on his block that saw my truck, they hire me after I tell them I've worked on their street and they check me out.

Past customers, email me and tell me how to thank you best!

very busy these days



Finishing up some minor jobs, starting a big one next week. The pics here are of the existing front porch and before of the back door. I'll post updates as this and the kitchen inside proceed over the next few months.

House built in 1907, our attempt is to make the back porch look original. We're copying the front porch to the extend we can, and hiding things like plywood on the roof instead of 1x4, and all the earthquake stuff required now. Shaped rafter tails, cedar shake, we're doing it all.

Engineering by Hayden Consulting Engineers, great guys. They do all my work. Very easy to show them my specific needs and have the connections designed to meet my design constraints. Better than a big shop where you're nothing but a cog. They're a small firm with a very personal touch. Highly recommend.

Kitchen to come in side, more details another day. Inset flush white custom built cabinets, Viking range, Subzero refer, lots of nice features. Our client cares that the design mixes well with the home as it is and we like to work that way. All the design done in house.

All for now.
