Welcome to Hands-On Contracting

This site is intended to help you match yourself and what you feel is important in hiring a contractor with what I feel is important to doing a great job and having a pleasant experience for all.  I focus on the human elements of working with all people... the technical aspects of right construction... and the creative aspects such as usable and esthetic design.

Like in my business, I am continually making changes to this site to help improve it to deepen your understanding of my standard and often superior practices,  processes and accomplishments.  This is another way of answering your question, does Hands-On Contracting have value to me?   This First Edition Web Site is now getting polished and becoming more complete. (suggestions welcomed!)

My experience informs me when Remodeling a most important consideration is that Customer and Contractor are a good match. It is from here we intentionally start building the foundation of a mutually beneficial project, and perhaps a long term relationship.  A solid foundation doesn't happen by accident.

If you don't read much to start and want to just look at  pictures, that's just fine!   But, please come back later to read more.  You will find my communications are transparant-- nothing hidden from view.  And you should be able to check this out (especially if you're screening for contractors).

Incidently, with the growth of Social Media, it is becoming easier to truely 'see' someone or a business as they really are.  Tools like Inside919.com, LinkedIn.com, Twitter.com, Facebook.com (Facebook business 'Pages'), and along with these Blogs and Comments text is often pulled up by searching the web on a person's name.  So, it is becoming difficult for the less sincere, less competent, less honorable, and sharks to hide.
