The short version

Good work hides in the details you stop noticing. Walls that stay straight, doors that close quietly, a porch that still feels solid twenty summers from now. That is the job.

Services

Eight trades.
One crew.

One person accountable from start to finish. Repairs and small fixes are genuinely welcome and have set starting prices; larger projects are quoted individually.

01Doors & Trim Doors that stick, drag, or won't latch, set to swing clean. Baseboard, casing, and crown mitered tight and matched to what's already there.
02Drywall Holes, cracks, water damage, and old plaster patched and finished smooth, ready for paint. Full rooms hung and taped, too.
03Remodels Garages, basements, and tired rooms turned into space you'll actually use, finished to the last piece of trim.
04Decks New decks, expansions, and rebuilds on solid footings, plus rot and railing repair on the one you already have.
05Flooring Hardwood, LVP, and laminate installed flat, with clean transitions from room to room and subfloor repair underneath.
06Custom Woodwork Built-ins, shelving, mantels, and benches made to fit the awkward corners an older house gives you.
07Porches & Pergolas Screened porches that keep the breeze and lose the bugs, and pergolas that add shade and shape to a yard.
08Framing Walls, additions, and structural repair built square, plumb, and true.
Walkthrough

Step inside
the build.

Eighteen seconds under a timber-frame carport, from the drive to the finished ceiling. No sound, just the work.

How I work

Simple promises.

0mi

In town, most days

Fifty miles up I-75 to Decatur, East Atlanta, Clarkston and East Point. Close enough to show up when I say I will.

Start to finish

From the frame to the final piece of trim, the same hands and the same standard.

One point of contact

You talk to the person doing the work. Questions get straight answers, fast.

The approach

Craft you can see up close.

I work across Atlanta and the east side — Decatur, East Atlanta, Clarkston, East Point — on everything from a door that won't latch to a garage turned into a room. Older houses are my favorite kind of problem.

Every job gets the same approach: show up on time, keep the site clean, explain the work plainly, and build it like it's going in my own house.

I'm a queer tradeswoman, and this is a woman-owned business. Everyone is welcome, and your home gets treated with respect.
