OUR TEAM

meet our team

The heart of our work beats in the field, where skilled carpenters, leads, and foremen pour years of hands-on expertise into every project we bring to life.

Our team stands together with a single promise: precision is our foundation. Whether raising strong frames or perfecting the smallest interior detail, we take pride in the moments others overlook.

Our crew is made up of seasoned tradespeople who excel in efficiency, clear communication, and the craft of precise delivery. We believe every task, no matter how small, is a building block for the entire project’s success.

We’re still adding faces to this page, but we’ve already written our story in every project we’ve completed. We build right, we build together, and we always build with pride.

Highlights

Experience:

12 years

Joe started his journey as a carpenter at 17, building barns with a family friend, it was from that point forward knew he had found his path. After completing the union apprenticeship, a mentor introduced him to high-end residential work, opening his eyes to the level of craftsmanship and detail the trade could offer. During the Tubbs fire rebuild, he worked alongside an intimate group of master carpenters, soaking up every lesson they offered and studying the craft through books written by the greats. Joe runs all bidding and serves as the primary point of contact for every project. Even so, Joe still keeps his bags on in the field to uphold the standards he preaches and to mentor the crew, the same way he was over a decade ago. He has come a long way from holding the end of a tape measure, all thanks to a relentless work ethic and combined with a passion that allows him to truly shape the field and the craftsmen within it.

Nadav began working in construction in 2017. It was here that he discovered a deep sense of fulfillment in carpentry, through rebuilding homes lost in the Tubbs fire. It was during that time he met Joe, who took him under his wing, mentoring him and teaching the fundamentals and helping him develop into the craftsman he is today. Known for his attention to detail and drive to plan ahead, Nadav is often one of the first to dive into a new set of plans, mapping out the project so the field runs smoothly once the hammers start flying. As Superintendent, he thrives on problem solving, coordination, and mentoring the next generation of carpenters. To Nadav, success means working alongside a strong crew where everyone takes pride in their craft and the finished product speaks for itself.
