Knocking out some smaller jobs between the bigger jobs. Installed the handrail on this porch today in Tolono. Starting to get cold! Take care everyone. Thank you!

Good afternoon. Thought I would post an example of a smaller job that I just finished, in between the deck builds and bathroom remodels.
Here I installed an entry door where there previously was no door.
Thanks for looking!

Happy fun day! (Tolono's 4th of July celebration).
Finished another deck this morning. It is the neighbor to the deck I built a couple months ago.
Received a busted handrail bracket unfortunately, and its special order 🤦‍♂️ so I couldn't completely finish. But it's close.
They look great next to each other. Composite decking with vinyl handrail.
Thanks for looking!

Good evening everyone. Finished a deck today (except for the stair railing that is still on special order). Tore out the old wood deck. Built all new framework and finished with composite decking (color is "foggy wharf") and white vinyl handrail with a matching gate. I also had to completely rebuild the wall between this deck and the neighbors.
Thanks for looking! 👍✌️

Throwback to about 20+ years ago. Working for my dad. Changing out a bay window. Working with Mark Meharry on this one. I don't have many pictures from back then (took with an actual camera), wish I had more.
Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Happy new year!
Last year was a tough one for me. Between the double hernia surgery that required 10 weeks off and I had a back injury in August that required 5 weeks off work. Not to mention trying to take it easy the rest of the time to hopefully heal fully , I really wasn't booking much.
Well I think, and hope , I'm finally recovered and ready to get back to normal.
Anyone Interested, I have a short waiting list at the moment. Give me a call or text at 217 974 5967, or message me directly here on Facebook and we'll get the process started!

Thanks for reading! Best wishes to everyone this new year❤
