I would remodel bathrooms, kitchens, finish basements and build room additions. I am capable of all plumbing required, electrical needed and framing to do these various projects. I also can drywall, tape, paint and install tile and stone products for these projects as well. I did all of my own finished carpentry as well, running trim, building cabinets and hanging doors as well. I also have installed windows and siding too.
