Summary
I started my construction experience in hot tar roofing for 2 years and then went on to union masonry where they trained me to supervise projects from the footing to the roofing and interior finishes. I worked for BBL at that time and went on to work for various shops. In the 1980's. I went in business doing residential and commercial projects for Machnick builders, Barsons construction, BBL, and many other general contractors in the area. During that time, i built several homes for my family.
