John BarnaThank you for the opportunity to introduce myself to you. With close to thirty years of experience in the construction industry and eighteen under my own license, my company specializes in wood framed residential structures. Specialties include structural repairs and remodeling. Original design work is done on a limited basis.

Being a working contractor, I am responsible for opening and securing the work area every day. Keys and alarm codes are not given to anyone. My working on the job every day, all day, allows me to closely supervise all labor and subcontractors. This arrangement allows for easy communication with the client, absolute security, and rapid problem solving.

Copies of my business insurance and workman's compensation will be furnished upon request. All subcontractors who work for me are licensed and carry their own insurance.
