I have over 15 years of experience in carpentry, and I am targeting smaller jobs. No job is too small for Biggs Construction. I prefer smaller jobs, but I am open to bigger jobs. With my know-how and your vision, I believe we can build something you can be proud of and assured that it is contractually sound. I am willing to talk about any kind of work, not just limited to carpentry work. I have my own hand tools and most of the important power hand tools. I can do interior and exterior carpentry work. Looking for something permanent as well. $35 an hour is the going rate. Willing to get insurance if this is a concern. Looking for jobs that are longer than a week of work.
