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.

Hired on Thumbtack

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!

Details: 2 - 5 hours (A few different projects) • Repairs • Installation • Deck or porch • Walls (outside) • Gutters

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.

Details: Exterior door, like a front or patio door • 1 door • Standard • Wood • Yes, the new door replaces an existing door • Yes, I already purchased the door • Weatherproofing (block drafts) • Install locks or hardware • Home

Al was so fantastic. Not only was the work perfect, but he’s great to chat with as well. My glass slider doors were installed in just a few hours and they look great. I so appreciate having Al willing to take on a somewhat small job as it really made a difference in my home.

Details: Less than 2 hours (Simple tasks) • Installation • Bathroom • Doors • Home

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing is based on the labor and Material costs.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
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.
