Fun. But motivated by a serious drive for perfection in all we do. We’re in a building that dates back to 1909 and has been home to a general store, grocery store, art gallery, toy store, antique shop, barber shop and scuba shop (and likely other things we don’t know). You’ll find a diverse and talented team of people here. Along with a couple of cats. We have a great team. We further distinguish ourselves by applying principal-level attention on every project. All assignments start and end with owner direction and approval.
