I'm 45 years old and started roofing at the age of 17 as an apprentice for my Brother in-law who was a Master Carpenter, Business owner,and 20+ years my senior. He taught me a lot about quality and what sets a laborer aside from a skilled Carpenter. A year later I was learning to lay floor trusses , flooring,layout top& bottom plates to frame walls and nearly everything else that led up to the roofing part where I started a year or so prior. I worked with him almost five years in Carolina Beach,N.C. Doing Decks, Drywall jobs, Trim carpentry, additions , remodels, Installation of windows and doors, just about everything besides electric. I then Moved back to Winchester and got a job on a wall panel line framing walls and then same company in Charlestown at their floor and roof truss factory almost 2 years. Soon after in early 2000's I ventured out on my own and started picking up as a subcontractor doing everything I had learned from my experiences. A lot of the work was In lake Holiday community in Cross Junction va. Word of Mouth and recommendations kept me busy. I got out of the business about 2012 because I found it hard to get a crew together and decided to get into Graphic arts and a job in Fairfax county. I'm starting to get back to a small handyman service, just myself and one qualified helper. Small handyman jobs are the specialty.
