Simple process

Getting help should not feel like a construction project.

1
Describe the project
Photos, location, surfaces, access, and materials help determine whether a job fits before scheduling.
2
Get a clear estimate
The likely rate, minimum, materials, and project limits are discussed before work; materials are billed at cost with receipts.

Hired on Thumbtack

Rusty was a pleasure to work with! He was very responsive and fit me in quickly to meet my need. I had a few small projects that he finished quickly, as well as a wall hanging that required some creative collaboration and precision. I would certainly hire him again!
