Hello home owners, I have been in Construction since 2010 and have done a variety of work. I currently provide handymen services covering general house upkeep, doors, windows, fixtures, blinds, small repairs, rental readiness, landscaping, pressure washing, minor electrical, minor plumbing, etc. and small to medium residential kitchen and bath remodels. I am not licensed as a general contractor but can provide a fair labor cost for carpentry work and manage the renovation with the use of trusted sub contractors to ensure your home will be completed in good quality to your liking. With my knowledge and experience, I can ensure the work will be done safely and in accordance to codes, and regulations. I am experienced at renovating homes new and old, and am currently working on getting licensed to do more work. I can help you answer some questions by providing a vision for your remodel upon a walk-through. I also can provide contacts for other work needed such as roofing, flooring, electrical, plumbing, and such alike. Let's connect, and create a remodel you will love for years to come! Bryson
