DIY with a Pro
Many of us like our independence!
…and are fully capable of modest home repair. When you get into a project that requires special tools or knowledge, that’s where we can help.
Our team’s experience makes us expert problem solvers. Because construction is our vocation, many years have been devoted to the study of all aspects of residential homes. You can bring this expertise to you and your project through our program, DIY with a Pro.
We will work alongside you and help with tool use training, fabrication training, logistical planning, budgeting, and even get our hands dirty with you. You can take on as much as you would like and we can fill in the gaps. For example, maybe working at heights is something you are not comfortable with but would like to build your own decorative element for install.
Another example would be if you could do most of the renovation yourself, except the structural modifications are intimidating. Whether you are looking for technical support or physical support, we are here to serve you. The friendship that comes from working together is truly the best part of this building experience.
This was a family-included project. We had completed the WRB (Weather Resistant Barrier) as well as the strapping. This creates an air gap behind the siding.

This is the whetting bush. This is how we pay our respect to the land that gave for this structure to exist. Thank you to the forest from where these trees grew, I hope you like your new life as a pavilion and all the new things you will experience.
