Done in a very timely manner. Almost got caught in a thunder storm (which wasn’t predicted) and they called extra people in to cover the roof to protect it. They finished the next day it let looks great and no leaks. Highly recommend!!

Hello, my name is Josh. Im 20 years old, I have a strong back, and just enough experience to help you accomplish what you might not be able to. Whether its because you are inexperienced/unable, too busy, lack the proper tools/equipment, or simply because you don't want to (trust me, im the last one to judge). I have professional experience in construction, minor landscaping, and instalation. This includes concrete flatwork, grading (gravel, soild, sand, ect), lawn/garden maintenance, minor carpentry, mounting/instalation.
