Local hands.
Careful work.
I'm a carpenter and woodworker doing handyman jobs while I work on becoming licensed by CSLB. Every job gets measured twice, fit before it's fastened, and finished right — not just finished fast.
I am not licensed by CSLB, but I am currently working toward becoming licensed.

been involved with.
Many of these were completed under the direction of licensed contractors I've worked for.

Why Work With Me
Why people trust the work I do.
I Notice the Small Stuff
A door that doesn't quite close right, a wall that's not quite straight — I notice, and I fix it.
I Take My Time to Get It Right
I'd rather take a few extra minutes than leave you with something that breaks again in a month.
I Catch Problems Early
Most expensive repairs start out small. I look for trouble before it turns into a bigger, costlier fix.
One of the craftsmen I admire illustrated this with the example of over-stretching a spring:
“You can try and bend it back and you can get it close, but you can never get that spring back to where it originally was.”
— Eric Hollenbeck, Blue Ox Millworks
That's why I take my time. Fixing a mistake after the fact almost never works as well as getting it right from the start.
My Background
Years of hands-on
experience.
I don't have my contractor's license yet — I'm working on it. But I've spent years working for licensed contractors, most recently as the on-site lead running big jobs like home additions, large decks, and full remodels. I also helped fix homes that had work done without the right permits, reframing them so they'd pass code. All of that shapes how I handle even the smallest handyman job today.
