What Steven Does Best
Steven started his career restoring antique and luxury homes with the renowned Gary D. Torgerson company in Seattle — fine carpentry is in his DNA. From rough framing to the most delicate finish trim, he brings the same precision to every project, whether it's a single door or a full kitchen cabinet overhaul.
Refinishing hardwood is one of Steven's signature services. Rather than costly full replacements, Steven can sand, stain, and refinish existing floors to look better than new. He also installs laminate, engineered hardwood, and handles repairs — squeaky boards, damaged planks, transitions between rooms.
Tiling looks deceptively simple but small errors show forever. Steven's tiling work is known for precision — consistent spacing, clean grout lines, perfect corners. From bathroom floors to kitchen backsplashes to full shower surrounds, his tile work holds up under scrutiny.
Steven's paint jobs start with proper prep — patching, priming, protecting surfaces — so the finish actually lasts. He handles interior rooms, exterior siding, decks, fences, and cabinetry, always working cleanly and efficiently without shortcuts.
Doors that stick, swing wrong, or won't latch are everyday frustrations Steven fixes quickly. He handles full door replacements (interior and exterior), hardware upgrades, and appliance installations — including the countertop and cooktop work that requires a careful, multi-trade approach.
Steven has a genuine eye for design and installation. His gallery wall work involves careful planning of layout, spacing, and anchoring — whether it's a casual family photo wall or a curated fine art display. He installs mirrors, large-format pieces, custom shelving, and full wall arrangements that hold perfectly level.
What Homeowners Say
Steven was amazing with his work. This job required a lot of expertise with multiple different areas including cabinetry, counter tops, and induction cooktop work. Steven was very detailed in his approach and was able to figure out everything. We are super happy with his work!
Steve was great! We had a lengthy list of small maintenance jobs (and a few jobs for our HOA too), and Steve juggled them all, clearly communicated with us, and finished on time. Would recommend!
Originally hired Steven to fix an issue with my shower but he was also able to install an oversized whiteboard. On time, worked efficiently and cleanly.
The trim repairs were clean and the door finally closes correctly. The whole visit was organized and easy.
Steven repaired a flooring transition and hung several shelves. Everything was level, solid, and cleaned up afterward.
Our gallery wall looks exactly how we wanted. He measured carefully and made the layout feel balanced.
