Helping homeowners make informed decisions before
the renovations begin.

I work for you - the homeowner - to advise and assist you with your renovation projects. After 18+ years in construction, I transitioned my business to protect customers from unnecessary repairs or overly costly renovations. My goal is provide peace of mind and to help you navigate one of life's more aggravating experiences.

Every space has the potential to be extraordinary — sometimes the simplest changes have enormous impact. I strive to create spaces that bring together thoughtful and efficient design not only in principle, but in practice.

I enjoy working with my hands, creative problem solving, and making interiors look great. From simple kitchen or bath renovations to displaying and installing cherished works of art, I approach every project with a commitment to do what's in the best interest of the customer, not your contractor.

A seamless transition from a wood floor to porcelain tile; no more stubbed toes!
B+A: corner base cabinets retrofitted with custom sliding shelves - tripling accessible storage and eliminating the need to crouch and search. Homeowner thanks me to this day!

Accessibility Is Everything.

Every person deserves a home that accommodates their needs; ADA upgrades aren't a luxury, they're a necessity.

We strive to integrate ADA upgrades seamlessly; making spaces feel welcoming rather than institutional.

Roll-In Shower Systems

Barrier-free wet rooms and roll-in curbless showers, fold-down bench, adjustable-height fixtures, and anti-slip flooring.

Safety Bars

Install the security, safety, and peace of mind for you and your loved ones. Injuries from slips and falls can be nearly eliminated.

ADA Door Handles

Although designed to look beautiful these are indeed ADA compliant handles.

Hands-Free Commodes

Touch and touchless WC actuators for flushing; helps the environment remain sanitary.

Lighting & Controls

Illuminated switch plates, rocker switches at accessible heights, motion-activated lighting, and smart home integration for voice or tablet-based control of lighting and climate.

Stair Safety

ADA/senior-friendly features include: high-contrast stair edges, slip-resistant abrasive surfaces, rounded stair nosing, and low-profile transitions.

We're here to help you build your dreams.

Whether you're planning a full renovation or just exploring ideas, we'd love to connect.
