Introduction

I started construction when I was just 15, on my dad's job sites in the summer. I went to UTK for fine arts in sculpture to get away from construction; I discovered craftsmanship and the rewards of a job well done. I've been making things ever since. My primary focus is on finish carpentry, including trim, moldings, cabinets and doors. Projects large and small. In addition I repair homes as well as consult and plan residential projects. If you’re looking to put in some archways, build a hall tree, create a library, or build something one of a kind. I’d be interested to earn your business.

I hired Allen to replace the trim around multiple doors and windows in my home and he did an excellent job. He showed up when he said he would, he cleaned the work area every day before leaving, and the quality of workmanship was great. Highly recommend.

AMAZINGGGG !!! Allen. You made our shiplap wall look immaculate. 18 huge cracks on the wall on almost every joint. Before you came around, I honestly thought we would have to rip it all down and put up drywall because I didn’t think anyone could make it look absolutely seamless like it was freshly installed for the first time. But you did it ! Don’t look any further, hire Allen. He extremely professional, the nicest guy, the coolest guy and does the most incredible work. Can’t wait for you to make more magic in our next house. Check out our before and after pics. SEEMLESS !! Thank you again

Allen was superb! I had Allen install 2 storm doors, fix my crawl space door, replaced my old smoke detectors, and helped clean out and install mesh wiring for a gutter that birds were using to lay their nest. He was punctual, communicated promptly, and tidy. He also fixed little but important details he saw along the way that had nothing to do with the projects mentioned. He even picked up my materials needed for my project that wouldn’t fit in my car ahead of the project. I’m so grateful to have found him!

Allen showed up when promised and did a fantastic job installing our new front door!! We couldn't be more pleased with how it turned out. He switched the hardware from the old door to the new one and made sure the door was working perfectly. We will definitely hire him again for future projects.

We were in need of some help getting a new door installed. Allen was great to communicate with prior to visiting our home, and super friendly and helpful once he arrived. His work was excellent and he made sure everything was functioning just as it should before leaving. He even moved our old door to the garage for us. We plan on reaching out to him again for some more work on our house in the future.

My pricing is based on the labor and Material costs.

I started on Jobsites as a teenager on my dads Construction sites. Then I went to Art school for sculpture at UT Knoxville and I learned how to weld and do all sorts of fun things. And now I bring all those tools and techniques to people's homes.
