Small hangar remodel Corey just did. The goals of the homeowner were to make a bright, livable space within the hangar while staying on a budget. Swipe to see some before and after pics.

When someone asks Corey what he is working on: "just a shed".

Even though we have been quiet on social media things are always happening. Moving a business to another state is challenging but we have been very blessed with work out here in AK. Here is a 30 x 60 custom carport for large equipment that Corey is working on. The 8 yr old for scale in pic 1 😉

Small details that make a your house guest's jaws drop. ✨ Corey loves to help clients create experiences not just beautiful spaces. There is something special and memorable about the feeling of simply turning this door k**b that is heavy and beautiful in your hand. Can you feel it as I type?

Door, hinge and hardware restoration. Yup, even this door is original to the house, 125yrs old 💥💫

✨ When your client has big restoration dreams for her historic home, the little details matter. ✨ Our client wanted the original doors restored to 150 yr old home so, naturally, these beautiful hinges had to receive new life as well. Corey loves helping clients visions come to reality.

Can you find the drain to this curbless shower?

Not only is a linear drain aesthetically pleasing it's functional. This is a wall to wall drain which helps water quickly evacuate the shower. Curb less showers are a great option for our 'seasoned' friends and family or those with a mobility impairment.

Ever run into what we like to call the "DIY special"? This bathroom was just that. A DIY done wrong. We can help fix that. Not only fix functionality but make it beautiful.

Warm sunshine plaster on the walls dries lighter (see photo 2). Corey also installed the skylights letting in so much natural light making it a space you gravitate towards.

When Corey was chatting with a friend he brought up how we often miss the whole quote of a 'jack of all trades'. After looking into it a bit I found this article that reasonated with who he is and what our business looks like. I posted a while ago that we changed our name because Corey is so diverse in what he can do. He doesn't JUST remodel, he creates custom spaces and pieces. He can woodwork, plaster, drywall, tile, frame, build furniture, mill logs, do concrete, etc. The list goes on. So how do I communicate what he does to people asking? Well... A jack of all trades? I used to dislike this term because it made him sound like a sloppy handyman when he is a highly skilled and meticulous craftsman. However a jack of all trades is what makes Corey so different! His knowledge of different trades and how they are interconnected is so valuable when building. Yet, not just knowledge but the skills to execute them as well. There is no waiting for a sub to come in to do a job that he can't, he can quickly change hats and fill that role. But also take the time to do it right. He understands the importance of how, if done wrong, it snowballs and effects so many other things down the line. So, I will end my brag session here, thanks for reading and check out the whole quote below.

Oh and share with your AK friends 😘

"Jack of all trades has become somewhat of an insult, but it didn’t begin as one. The phrase was originally used to describe a playwright who was always hanging around the theatres. He would help with the stage, the set and the costumes. He would remember lines and try directing. This so-called jack of all trades was in fact William Shakespeare. The full phrase is “a jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one.” It was a compliment. "

"Jack of all trades" has become somewhat of an insult, but it didn’t begin as one. Far from letting it deter their path, some entrepreneurs swear that being a jack of all trades is necessary.

I seem to have misplaced install photos of this epoxy kitchen countertop. This was a challenging piece to finish with lots of different chemical reactions due to the 2 different stains and epoxy. In the end it came out 🔥 2019
