CURRENTLY NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS
About Me
I'm a veteran teacher of 20 years at a local independent school and spend my summers on handyman projects. Growing up in England, I watched my handy dad and carpenter grandfather build everything from a house extension to painting and decorating. I like to reuse useful elements and refresh rather than completely gut and replace.
I'm offering my services, during the summer, for a variety of smaller renovation projects, both inside and outside the home. I can turn my hand to tiling, carpentry, painting, technology installations, watering systems, and much more. If it's not in my wheelhouse, I'll tell you upfront. Seeking jobs within 15 minutes of my home in the 27707 zip code.
Examples of small projects I can help you fix:
Install lights and ceiling fans - upgrade sink faucet - install garbage disposal - install tile backsplash - replace electrical outlet or switch - install blinds - hang pictures - painting - creative projects - custom designs - flooring - security cameras - furniture assembly
My Projects
Kid's Bathroom Refresh
I wanted to update the kid's bathroom without spending a ton. Keeping the tub and toilet, I installed a new vanity and lighted wall mirror cabinet. With an additional storage cupboard on the wall and an updated ceiling fixture, this 70's bathroom went from tired and dated to cool contemporary.
Master Bedroom Renovation
In the master bedroom, I used Ikea furniture to create a built-in look on one wall. I moved the doorway to the bathroom to accommodate this. Custom trim and paint completed the look. The second photo is the other side of the room with a colorful wallpaper feature.
Garden Pergola Wall
At my workplace, I updated this pergola feature. Keeping the existing upright posts, I designed and built the custom cedar wooden frames with metal inserts, and added the overhang rafters.
Custom Tables
I've designed and built a few custom tables at my home. Here is one made from a live edge slab of maple on some hairpin legs. It's made to fit perfectly behind our sofa. The desk is made of reclaimed heart pine and uses pipe hardware for an industrial look.
