About

Hello and thanks for visiting my website! I am a master carpenter by trade and over the 40+ years of home building I have gotten to the point where there isn't much I haven't seen, done or fixed in a home. I have built and repaired homes, worked as a new construction superintendent, and held a home inspection license. Being familiar with and abiding by all applicable codes and regulations while focusing on safety is a source of pride.

I have been serving the Durham area since 2012.

It's impossible to list all the services I can provide, but please check out the services offered below. Don't hesitate to call if you have a need for something that's not listed. I will be honest with you and let you know if I can or cannot provide a particular service. I charge by the job for most work or by the hour if you have a checklist of small jobs to fill up the visit!

I look forward to meeting you.

-Gary
