Sole Proprietor · Since 2002
Since 2002 I've run a one-man operation on purpose. The person who walks your property and writes the estimate is the same person who does every hour of the work.

One Craftsman, Start to Finish
No sales rep, no rotating crew, no subcontractor you've never met. I do large and small jobs across Chester County and the surrounding area — painting, patios, walls, drainage, planting and the repairs in between — and I stay on each one from the first walk-through to the final itemized invoice.
That's also why the details get done: fire caulk in the gaps nobody will see, decking left to dry fully before it's stained, pavers chosen by name and color rather than whatever's cheapest that week.
“I put emphasis on quality, not quantity.”
2002
Started contracting in Chester County.
2009
Registered with the PA Attorney General — Reg. #PA 045291.
Today
Still the sole proprietor and the only one on your job.
What I Do
Most homes need more than one kind of work. Painting, stonework, planting and repairs are all handled by the same person — so nothing falls between trades.
01
Interior and exterior painting for new and historic homes — brush, roller or airless sprayer, with the primer, stain or clear coat each surface actually calls for.
02
Paver patios, walkways, steps and retaining walls built with quality materials and exacting craftsmanship — plus grading and drains that move water away from your foundation.
03
Annual care and garden makeovers that bring tired beds back to life — with custom pruning timed and shaped to each plant's natural growth habit.
04
The fixes that get put off: drywall, steps, handrails and seepage — plus deep pressure washing that cleans siding, concrete and wood or preps them for a new coating.
Not sure which trade your project falls under?
Describe it — I'll tell youProject Notes
01 — Entrance & walkway overlay
The platform was enlarged by building a retaining wall around it and extending pavers out over the new edge. The walkway was widened and rerouted to give a more direct, better-looking path to the driveway.
02 — Bilevel paver patio
An EP Henry patio built on two levels and joined by Devonstone stair treads. The flower boxes were built with electrical cable running through them so receptacles could be mounted right in the wall.
03 — Fire-rated garage ceiling
A garage ceiling under a living room was fireproofed with fire-rated drywall. Every gap was sealed with fireproof caulk and foam to stop smoke from finding a path into the living space above.

How I Work
I'd rather tell you up front what to expect than surprise you at the end.
Safe digging, every time. Pennsylvania One Call (811) is notified before any excavation, and work follows local permits, fees and ordinances.
01
Before anyone invests more time, I give you a ballpark figure so you know whether the job fits your budget and expectations.
02
Estimates are free, and invoices are itemized line by line — you see exactly what you're paying for.
03
Projects that need real planning or designs may carry a modest fee, deducted from the job if you decide to go ahead.
04
Larger projects may need a deposit — never more than the one-third Pennsylvania allows. Often you simply pay for materials when they're delivered.
05
Some repairs can't be predicted until they're opened up. When that happens, we agree on a time-and-materials basis before work starts.
06
Larger projects can be split into affordable phases you can manage over time, instead of one big bill.
Questions
I do. I'm the sole proprietor and the only employee of my business, so the person who walks your property and writes the estimate is the same person on the job every day.
Yes. Estimates are free, and every invoice is itemized. For bigger projects that need drawings or detailed plans, there may be a modest design fee — and it's deducted from the job if you go ahead.
Yes. I've been registered with the Pennsylvania Attorney General's office since July 2009 under Home Improvement Contractor Registration #PA 045291, and I follow the state's consumer-protection laws.
Yes — I do large and small jobs with the same focus on detail, from a single hallway or a stretch of handrail to a full patio and retaining wall.
For larger projects I may ask for a deposit, never more than one-third of the job as Pennsylvania law sets. Usually I'll ask you to pay for materials when they're delivered, and some jobs can run on a schedule of draws.
Work follows local ordinances, fees, permits and regulations. Before any excavation, Pennsylvania One Call (811) is notified — it's a mandatory safety step that prevents costly, dangerous utility strikes.
Yes. I guarantee all of my work.
