Since 2002 as a General Contractor I have been working in the Sonora area specializing in building decks. I have also completed many barns, remodels and new construction projects. My new skill is concrete overlays over tile, formica or most other surfaces. I am always happy to give free estimates and never leave the job until you the customer is 100% happy.
I also volunteer for the TC search and rescue team of which I am the swift water team leader, CAO and 6 year member.

Jamie did a great job on out small deck project. He completed the project the way we wanted. The only downside was the door that was ordered came damaged so it delayed the project a month
