Hello everyone!  Thank you for visiting my website.  I love what I do, and I hope you do too!  I log in and update this site from time to time to make sure the information you are reading is timely, and my current list of services is comprehensive.  That way, I can continue to provide 5 star service (See my Yelp reviews) to my new and my existing clients!   

As a side note, I only do residential work. I do not provide service for any commercial properties.

What I accel at:

Ceiling Fans, Ceiling Fans, Ceiling Fans!!!  I am the expert! No one has done more of them than me!!!  Well, I can't actually prove that, but I've done more than 3000 over the past 20 years!!!  Call me first if you need those installed!  

What I do not do:  I no longer provide fence post replacements.  I no longer install attic ladders.  I no longer work on projects requiring more than an 8 ft ladder to complete the job.  I do not do fascia/siding replacements or repairs. I do not work with any project requiring cutting of any type of stone or James Hardie cement board products.  I do not do any landscaping or other yard related work.  



Comprehensive list of Services:  (if you don't see it, ask) 

Note: Due to the extreme heat during summer months here in Texas, I ask that you consider postponing outdoor tasks marked with "*" until spring or fall when possible. Some of these, although are interior, may require prep/assy/other outdoor steps to complete.
  • Indoor ceiling and outdoor ceiling/*patio fan replacement--all makes and models; with or without remotes.  Ceiling height can be a factor.  Please let me know the ceiling height in advance so I can come prepared or let you know if I can't do it due to height-of-ceiling limitations.
