This site is intended to help you match-up what is important to you in hiring a contractor, showing what my company has to offer- including its principles, skills and history of integrity and care. In addition to kitchen and bathroom remodeling, home improvement, and repair, I focus on the human elements of working with people... the creative aspects such as usable and aesthetic design. And of course the technical aspects of right construction, e.g. green, sustainable, healthy, efficient.
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.
My experience informs me in Renovating, Repairing, Remodeling Kitchens, Baths, Additions or any project, the 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 is no accident.
If you don't read much to start and want to just look at Before and After pictures Under Project Examples, that's just fine! But, please come back later to read more. You will find my communications are transparent-- nothing hidden from view. And you should easily be able to check this out on the web and at the BBB or NC Attorney General. The research is worth the effort, and since I don't have anything to hide I'm all for it! In fact, the deeper you go, the more you will discover noteworthy accomplishments and accolades (that I am too modest to list, and don't even remember many).
Incidentally, 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, Dyck's 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, though it's not impossible, it's becoming difficult for the less sincere, less competent, less honorable, and sharks to hide when you start putting all this together.

Tips
If you have gutters, be sure to keep them cleared. Inspect them regularly and avoid walking on the roof more than necessary (it wears out the asphalt granules). Don't be naive about the physics of handling water and managing tree seed & leaf fall. Do your homework.
Verify gutters are needed as there are other options for handling water and erosion. If you have or are considering gutter covers beware that almost none work well (depending on conditions). It is a good awareness that gutters and covers that don't work can cause more problems than if you have none. Even with good covers there is some (hopefully less) need for regular attention.
FYI: The gutter cover I offer is exclusive from my company. I've tested it personally for three years. It's the only one that meets my criteria.
