Summary
I’ve been a finish carpenter for a long time. I know how to deliver a quality product and communicate with the customers and office, alike. I’ve done residential (low end to high) and commercial (tenant improvements, hospitals, schools, casinos, military bases, etc.). The most unique would be, re-laminating the galley of the USS Jefferson City.
