Our Story
My husband Phil and I started our journey as husband and wife when we were only 18. We have since been blessed with a family of four beautiful children, and two amazing grandchildren. Phil was always the main provider, while I cared for the home and homeschooled our whip smart kiddos. Life evolved and while Phil managed large crews for various companies, completing multi-million dollar commercial projects, I went back to school to re-enter the work force in special needs education.
In early 2020, we decided it was time to begin a new path, starting and growing a construction business that centers around our family values. By doing so, we carry on the tradition of passing on our craftsmanship and skillset by working alongside our children and soon our grandchildren every day. Construction runs in our family and we are proud to continue this tradition of quality workmanship and attention to detail. Our family values shine through in every project we undertake, and our clients can expect a level of personal care and attention that is unmatched in the industry.
Phil is the project manager and the crew lead of our company. He has a deep appreciation for the trades, having learned his skills from a young age by working alongside his father. Our family connection has given us nearly 70+ years of combined knowledge and expertise in the industry.
I grew up as a farmers daughter - and the majority of my childhood was spent helping my family slowly build our Adirondack log cabin from the ground up. While living 14+ years with no power could be considered difficult by some, I wouldn't trade the life lessens in perseverance, ingenuity, and hard work for anything. I use these lessons to tackle everything - from back end work our clients never see to client relations, office work, the odd construction job and more.
We are passionate about what we do and are committed to delivering exceptional results on every project. With a strong focus on customer satisfaction, we go the extra mile to ensure that our clients are completely happy with the work that we do. Our combination of experience, skills, and family values make us the ideal choice for anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy general contracting company.
