Sea Glass Mermaid Transom, Point Pleasant, NJ (Personal Project)

This was for the Master Bedroom entry from the hall. The center tile was purchased a few years ago with the intent of using it "somewhere" in the renovation. The sea glass was personally collected off the beaches of Puerto Rico. The rest of the tile was extra pieces off of miscellaneous tile jobs.

Drywall Repair/Trimwork/Painting, Brielle, NJ

The clients needed to repair the banged up corner (shown in the first couple photos) and paint the finished basement area. The trim in the stairwell was removed and cut back to the top edge of the stringers to give a more "finished" look in the stairwell. I also added finish trim around the HVAC return, which was previously unfinished raw drywall edges, and installed a new light fixture in the stairwell.

Wood-Look Tile Floor, Point Pleasant, NJ

This is one of the final steps in a project for a current client. The prior flooring was carpeting. The wood-look tiles give the Dining Room and Living Room a little more of a rustic look with the durability of tile flooring.

The bathroom was in deperate need of a "facelift" but needed to be done on a limited budget. Changing the color scheme and adding a few inexpensive ornamental pieces did the trick perfectly.

Physical Therapy Works LLC., Point Pleasant, NJ

As you can see from the pictures, the existing crawlspace door was not in great shape at all. I was asked to fabricate a replacement door. This was accomplished by using tongue and groove cedar planks on a frame built out of 2x4s. Painted white with new hinges and handle. Needless to say, the client was very happy.

CornHole (Sack Toss) Boards, Point Pleasant, NJ

This was a personal project. I needed a set of boards for entertaining in the summer. These boards were made 100% to official dimensions, including width, length, height, and hole placement. Finished them off with a UNC theme (Let's go HEELS!). I made the logo stickers myself and the colors I used were the official UNC colors (Thanks Glidden!). Finished with 5 coats of clear polyurethane.

ServiceMaster Kitchenette, Manasquan, NJ

The client wanted to better utilize some "dead space" within the office area. They also wanted to provide a place where employees could make coffee, refrigerate lunch, and wash their dishes. I constructed a new wall to bury the existing pipes, installed a GFI circuit to provide outlets, then set the cabinets against the new wall. I also had to relocate the door to the right of the new wall. That door way was closed up and the door was moved around the corner. All of the glued-down carpet was removed in favor of ceramic tile in the Kitchenette area and new carpeting in the other adjacent areas.
**NOTE: Picture 9 shows the "new" lower cabinet that was fabricated from the unneeded full-height cabinet shown in picture 8. This "new" cabinet is located all the way to the left of the lower cabinets.

Painting - Bedroom, Point Pleasant, NJ

Vinyl Tile Kitchen Floor, Brick, NJ

The client wanted to freshen up the kitchen by laying down a new floor. The old floor was out of design and was pretty beat up. The old floor was removed down to the sub-floor. A new layer of luan was installed to provide a nice, clean surface for the vinyl tiles to adhere to. Mission accomplished for a relatively small investment.
