Q&A

My fence is leaning after the rainy season. Can you fix it without replacing the whole thing?

Yes, often we can. Santa Cruz's wet winters and clay-heavy soil cause fence posts to shift or rot at the base, leading to leaning sections. We assess the damage first. If the posts are solid, we may be able to straighten and brace them, or replace just the affected posts without tearing down the whole fence. For gates that have started to drag, we can also adjust hinges or re-set posts. We serve many homes near the San Lorenzo River and the Lower Ocean area where this is a common issue, and we focus on repairs that extend your fence's life.

Do you handle small handyman jobs like furniture assembly in addition to large remodels?

Absolutely. We take on the full range of jobs, from assembling flat-pack furniture and fixing a stubborn door to building a new deck or remodeling a kitchen. As a general contractor, I've built the business on being able to handle whatever comes up. If you need a new toilet installed, a playground built for the kids, or just a fence gate repaired, we can do it all. It’s a practical way for homeowners to have one reliable contractor for both the big projects and the everyday fixes.

What’s involved in a typical bathroom or kitchen remodel with your company?

We manage the entire process from start to finish. This includes demolition, new plumbing or plumbing repair, floor and tile installation, new fixtures, and any structural changes if you’re moving walls. We also handle the necessary permits for Santa Cruz County. For a kitchen, that might mean new cabinets, countertops, and appliance installation. For a bathroom, we can do full gut renovations. Since I do a lot of the carpentry myself, I’m on site most days to make sure the details are right and the project stays on schedule.
