The carpentry jobs homeowners call us about

Every one is a carpentry job you could never chase from at the saw with sawdust flying. Maria screens them and books the ones inside your service area:

Maria speaks carpentry

She can tell a crown the joist (crown up) from a kerf, knows what rip vs crosscut and plumb, level, square mean, and doesn’t stall when a caller rattles off out of square / racked or toenail. So the homeowner on the other end gets qualified, not fumbled — and while you’re at the saw with sawdust flying, she’s booking jobs.
