Decks and pergolas
Composite and cedar decks, pergolas, privacy screens and built-in seating. Decks are the biggest part of what Max has built over the last three years.
Kitchens
Cabinetry, worktops, islands and the trim that ties a kitchen into the rest of the house. Max prices a kitchen after he has seen it, not from a formula.
Bathrooms
Tiled walk-in showers, vanities and level-access layouts. The tile and the trim are done by the same crew that framed the room.
Finish carpentry
Stairs, railings, interior doors, trim and built-in cabinetry. It is the trade Max trained in, and it is why the finish work on everything else looks the way it does.
Basements
Framing, insulation, drywall, stairs and built-in storage. One crew takes it from bare concrete to a room you would furnish.

The full range
What Max builds
Decks and outdoor work are what most people find him for, and they are the biggest part of what he has built over the last three years. The carpentry underneath is not a sideline he added later. It is what he trained in, and it is the reason the finish work on a deck or a basement looks the way it does.
Custom decks, pergolas and covered patios. Kitchen remodeling. Basement finishing. Bathroom remodeling. Finish carpentry and custom trim, which means stairs, railings, doors and built-ins.

How a deck goes up, from bare ground to the last rail
Four stages, in the order Max builds them. It is why the finish work at the end has something square to sit on.

Who is actually going to be on my job?
Max, and the crew he works with. He is on site rather than running it from a truck across town.
That matters more than it sounds. Read his Google reviews and hardly any of them are about how the finished work looks. They are about him turning up, answering, and finishing. Google's own summary of those reviews puts communication and reliability at the top, ahead of craftsmanship.
They showed up on time every day, kept me informed, and stayed on schedule from start to finish.
They answered my messages the same day and kept me updated at every step.
The order of work
How a job runs, from the first call to the last piece of trim
You call or message.
Max answers, usually the same day.
He comes and looks at it.
At your house, before anyone talks about a number.
You get the quote in writing.
With what is included and what is not.
He builds it.
The same crew from framing through to the trim.
You walk it together at the end.
He finishes the list.
What will it cost?
Every job gets priced after Max has seen it, because a deck on a flat lot and a deck on a slope are not the same deck.
What we can tell you is what moves the number, so you can judge a quote when you get one: size and shape, materials, how much has to come out first, and whether anything structural, plumbing or electrical moves.
Where does he work?
Loveland and Fort Collins mostly, and across Northern Colorado around them. If you are a bit further out, call and ask rather than assuming.
Photographed on site, as the jobs finished.
Every photograph below is his own work, shot on site as the job finished. All three are decks and outdoor living, which is the biggest part of what he builds.
