			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I’m a deaf residential home builder and formerly of Georgia with a Georgia Contractor License. I moved to Texas last year to get married and I’m now in the process of starting a construction business in Houston and the surrounding areas. <span id="more-16703"></span></p>
<p>In Georgia, I was a partial owner of a construction company and a construction manager for over 10 years.  We’ve built a number of residential homes and have also done a wide range of remodeling jobs. I have over 23 years of experience in doing construction work and have now built 19 homes from the ground up. I am skilled in every aspect of home building, from framing, trim work, cabinet installation, deck building and siding.   Some of my specialties are tile work of all sorts, including custom made tile showers, designs for kitchen and bathroom remodels, and being a fabricator of solid surface countertops.</p>
<p>In the next few weeks, I will soon have a new website up showing all what we have done in the past and what we are capable of. I will also have a SVRS set up soon. For any deaf clients, I will give a 10% discount. Contact me and I will be happy to give a proposal for any work that you want done around your home.</p>
