OBJECTIVE

To keep a positive attitude and to treat people with respect.

Treat them as you want to be treated.

Don’t be judgmental.

During my years in the construction industry I strived for perfection and attention to detail.

And to do the work in the safest possible way.

SKILLS

I have multiple skills that apply to construction. Examples are framing, drywall, plumbing, wiring ( house & security), sheet metal fabrication, installation of windows, doors, skylights. Detailed finish and trim work. Installation of floor coverings from carpet, hardwood, vinyl, and tile.

I like trying to help people with their problems or issues that they are dealing with, to reduce stress on their behalf.
