Local People I Trust

Good work starts with the right people.

Over the years I've gotten to know contractors, painters, landscapers and other local professionals who do good work and show up when they say they will. I put this list together so you don't have to start from scratch.

Before You Start A Project

Not every improvement is worth doing.

My goal is to get you the highest price possible for your home — whether that means overseeing a major remodel or handling small, targeted renovations before you sell.

Thinking about making an upgrade but not sure where to start? Check out my local vendor list. I’ve worked closely with each of these vendors and can manage the entire process from start to finish to maximize your home’s value.

And if you’re preparing to sell, call me before you start writing checks. Sometimes the best move is a renovation. Sometimes it’s paint, landscaping and a few repairs. Sometimes it’s doing nothing at all.

Why I Keep This List

I've spent a lot of time around houses and the people who work on them.

I grew up around job sites, and today a big part of my work with sellers is figuring out what actually needs to happen before a home hits the market. Having reliable people to call makes that process a lot easier.

01

People I know

This isn't a directory pulled from Google. It's meant to be a practical list of local people I know and trust.

02

Start with the right work

If you're selling, we can first decide which projects are likely to matter and which ones aren't worth the money.

03

I can help manage it

If there's a lot to coordinate, I can help keep the process moving instead of leaving you to manage it alone.

The Curated Vendor List

Here's the kind of help you'll find.

01

Renovation

General Contractors

For larger repairs, remodels and projects that need someone coordinating several pieces at once.

02

Interior + Exterior

Painters

A fresh coat of paint can change a home quickly without turning it into a major construction project.

03

Outside The Home

Landscaping

Help with cleanup, planting and exterior work when the outside of the property needs attention.

04

Interior

Flooring

Repair or replacement when worn flooring is distracting from the rest of the home.

05

Repairs

Home Services

The people you call for the smaller jobs that still need to get handled before a home is ready.

06

Final Preparation

Cleaning + Prep

Help getting the house cleaned up and ready for photography, showings, move-in or closing.

Before You Spend The Money

Thinking about fixing up your home before selling?

Call me before you start. I’ll walk through the property with you and give you a straight answer about where I’d put the money — and where I wouldn’t.
