Wind storm took down a cedar fence on a property I manage resulting in 7 broken posts.

Called Ismael Torres at Direct Fence in Elgin and they did a great job removing the old posts and concrete and setting new posts in concrete.

I was able to provide a cost effective solution for the HOA by utilizing a professional fence contractor for post removal and installation saving time and costs and the ability to reuse-rehang the old fence panels.

My two worlds collide! Hanging on the rim while painting the backboard. Literally!!! There may have been a ladder involved since my Spud Webb hoops are not what they use to be!!! No painters or basketball players were injured while completing this project. Ha

Fun project.

HOA property management prevention.

Condo property was having an issue with vehicles backing into electrical meter boxes. The repair is in the thousands for the condo owner depending on the damage. HOA property management company went ahead with a preventative measure that was much cheaper to protect all the meter boxes.

This is another A-HA moment realization.

This customer called because one of my great uncles was her carpenter, but passed away. She knew she could trust me since he was a good carpenter and figured I was too. She is also the original builder/owner of this home. It’s something when the original owner/builder trusts you to start completing maintenance/repairs on their home.

Cedar siding had some boards that had opened up and not all could be pulled back tight. Screwed back what could be and ran a bead caulk on others to keep the weather on the outside where it belongs.

Thank you to the previous two generations ahead of me and thank you for the confidence and trust.
