I've been fortunate enough to call carpentry my career since 2009, and I still enjoy going to work every day. Whether it's a quick repair or a custom project, I love helping homeowners improve the place that matters most. Your home is where life happens—it should be a place you're proud of and truly love.
When the tools are put away, I'm spending time with my family, hitting the road, kayaking, camping, fishing, biking, or cheering on the Chicago Bears (there's always next season!). I enjoy meeting new people just as much as I enjoy building things, and I look forward to earning your trust—one project at a time.Since graduating college, I've worked on everything from small home repairs to large-scale remodels.
While I have experience with projects of every size, I've found that my passion lies in the smaller details—finish carpentry, custom woodwork, repairs, and the projects that make a home feel complete.
Every home has its own story, and I enjoy helping homeowners improve, restore, and care for the spaces they love.
When you hire General Carpentry by Meris, you're not hiring a large company or a rotating crew—you're hiring me.
My goal is simple:
In today's world, dependable contractors can be hard to find. I believe homeowners deserve someone who shows up when promised, treats their home with respect, and stands behind their work.
As a Skokie resident, I'm proud to serve homeowners throughout Chicago's North Shore and nearby communities, including:
Being local allows me to provide responsive service while building lasting relationships with homeowners throughout the communities I serve.
With nearly 20 years of carpentry, remodeling, and home repair experience, I understand that hiring someone to work inside your home requires trust.
When you call me:
✔ You'll work directly with me from start to finish.
✔ I'm fully licensed and insured.
✔ You'll receive honest recommendations—not unnecessary upselling.
✔ You'll know the cost before the work begins.
✔ Every project is completed with the same attention to detail I'd expect in my own home.
Whether it's installing trim, repairing wood rot, hanging doors, building custom shelving, or tackling that growing to-do list, I believe quality craftsmanship and honest communication never go out of style.
One of the best parts of my job is meeting great people and seeing the character of the beautiful homes throughout the North Shore. It is truly an honor every time a homeowner trusts me to work in their home.
Whether you need a simple repair or a custom carpentry project, I'd love the opportunity to earn your trust and become the carpenter you can rely on for years to come.
Let's build something great together.
