About us

Designing and building welcoming spaces for family homes

Family Nook Contractors was built on a lifelong love of building and creating. With a background in Mechanical Engineering and hands-on construction experience dating back more than two decades, my work blends technical knowledge with practical craftsmanship.

Over the past 10 years, I've completing projects ranging from decks and framing to flooring, wall finishes, built-ins, fixture installation, and full room transformations.

What truly sets my work apart is the passion for bringing a space together. Beyond construction, I love the design process — shaping the layout, mood, and finishing details that make a room feel complete. Whether it’s a thoughtfully designed homeschool room, a backyard play space, or a hidden nook tucked into a child’s bedroom, we believe a well-crafted environment can inspire both function and imagination.

1992

At age 7 I went into the garage and "borrowed" a handsaw, hammer and nails to build myself a ladder for climbing trees.  Found out pretty quick you need at least two nails per rung, and after a quick design improvement my work was done.  My love for design, mechanics and willingness to take initiative hasn't changed since! 


2002

In high school I constructed a quarter pipes, several launch ramps and fun boxes, for the use of myself and our neighborhood kids.


2007

Graduated with a BS in Mechanical Engineering, a minor in math and two children.  Woodworking transitioned into designing and making toys, storage units and small scale furniture.


2013

Moving into a fixer upper brought a whole new set of skills. The resources found on Fine Homebuilding, through local tradesmen, co-workers at my engineering job and our town building inspector lead me to become well learned across home ownership and management.  

I've built decks, sheds, chicken coops. I've installed playhouses, ziplines and fun little secret cubbies that can be opened with magic.  I've remodels spaces


2025

I started working for hire as jobs came up, working on a pool remodel, a historic wraparound porch remodel and siding project.

At Family Nook Contractors, our mission is to create thoughtfully designed, beautifully built spaces that nurture family life, spark imagination, and support everyday living. We believe a home should be both functional and inspiring — a place where children can dream, families can gather, and meaningful moments can unfold.

Guided by integrity, care, and a servant-hearted approach, we partner with families to design and build spaces that feel personal, meaningful, and long-lasting.  As a family-run business we value balance between family and work, both in our homes and yours.
