Painting & Finishing Work

Careful, Skilled, and Lasting Work

I have spent decades perfecting my craft, approaching painting with patience and precision. I believe in doing the job right—taking the time to prepare surfaces properly, applying smooth, even coats, and ensuring clean, crisp lines. My focus is on quality and longevity, not quick fixes.

Whether refreshing a single room or painting an entire home, my work is steady and thoughtful. I use materials and techniques that bring out the best in a space, creating a result that looks good and lasts while staying within your budget.

What I Offer:

  • Interior and exterior painting

  • Cabinet refinishing and staining

  • Plaster and drywall repairs

  • Trim repair and replacement

  • Eco-friendly and low-VOC paint options

Small-Scale Contracting and Carpentry

Practical, Reliable, and Built to Last

I also take on select small-scale contracting projects, focusing on practical, functional improvements rather than high-end custom carpentry. My work includes straightforward, sturdy builds that improve a home’s usability or revitalizes outdoor spaces. I approach these projects with the same care and attention to detail as my painting work—prioritizing durability, efficiency, and a clean, well-executed finish while ensuring it looks beautiful in your space.

From installing new flooring to building simple decks and structures, my focus is on delivering solid craftsmanship that is both functional and beautiful in your home.

What I Offer:

  • Flooring installation (hardwood, laminate, vinyl)

  • Deck building and repairs

  • Outdoor structures (small sheds, pergolas, fencing)

  • Basic carpentry for functional home improvements

Handyman Services

Small Repairs, Big Difference

Not every home project requires a contractor, but having a skilled, reliable hand can make all the difference. I offer general handyman services for small repairs and practical fixes—helping homeowners keep things running smoothly without the hassle of big renovation crews. My approach is straightforward: show up on time, do the job right, and leave things better than I found them.

From replacing light fixtures to installing a toilet, adjusting a door, or tackling those small but necessary household tasks, I provide dependable, quality work for everyday home maintenance needs.

What I Offer:

  • Light fixture replacement

  • Basic plumbing tasks (installing toilets, fixing leaks)

  • Door and window adjustments

  • Minor drywall repairs

  • Installing shelving, curtain rods, and hardware

  • Other small home maintenance tasks
