I’m back. Pardon the sawdust!

I provide historically accurate, conscientious, and honest woodworking as well as: remodeling, repairs, and restoration – with an artist’s eye, a craftsman’s deft touch, and a modicum of humor. I am located in Madison, Wisconsin. Over the past 40+ years, I have worked all over southwest Wisconsin and Chicago.

While I have done everything from roofing to minor foundation repairs (and everything in-between), my best work is matching historically accurate trim, and built-ins. And I will pay the same caring attention when rebuilding your basement stairs or replacing doors as when I rebuild your front porch.

Unlike many contractors, I will be present and working on your house every day. I have always been a working carpenter, present and working every day of every project. Except for very special occurrences, I rarely had more than one project going at once so I could control the quality of the finished project. There will not be communication problems with the crew or the person nominally in charge. I will be there. I care passionately about what the finished project looks like. My name is on the finished project. Your project.

Call me soon for inspired answers to your vexing design problems. I look forward to working with you.
