What I'm best at

Two trades I've built my name on.

I take on a lot, but these are where the experience runs deepest — and where it shows.

Top specialty01

Painting, inside and out

The finish people notice first — so I treat prep like it matters, because it does. Walls get patched, sanded, caulked, and primed before a drop of color goes on. Clean lines, full coverage, and a job site you'd actually want to stand in.

  • Interior paintingWalls, ceilings, accent walls, and full-room or whole-home repaints — flat, eggshell, satin, semi-gloss, whatever the room calls for.
  • Exterior paintingSiding, soffits, fascia, trim, and front doors, prepped and coated to stand up to Idaho sun, wind, and winters.
  • Cabinets & trimKitchen and bath cabinet refinishing, plus baseboards, crown, doors, and railings with a smooth, brush-mark-free finish.
  • Decks, fences & stainingSanding, staining, and sealing to bring weathered wood back to life and keep it protected.
  • Color & finish helpNot sure what you want? I'll bring samples and help you land the color and sheen before anything goes on the wall.
Every paint job includes
  • Full surface prep — patching, sanding, and caulking
  • Primer wherever the surface needs it
  • Two full coats, unless the job calls for more
  • Furniture moved and floors, trim & fixtures masked off
  • Tidy daily cleanup and a final walkthrough with you

Crawlspace repair & encapsulation

The part most contractors won't crawl into — and exactly where I come from. A dry, sealed crawlspace means a warmer floor, lower bills, cleaner air upstairs, and a house that holds up. This is the work I know best.

  • Crawlspace repairRotten joists, sagging subfloor, standing water, and the damage years of moisture leave behind — sorted out properly.
  • Vapor barrierHeavy-duty ground cover that stops soil moisture from rising into your floors and framing.
  • Full encapsulationSealing the whole space, floor and walls, into a clean, dry, conditioned envelope you'd actually store boxes in.
  • InsulationSub-floor and rim-joist insulation to keep floors warm and cut what you spend heating the house.
  • Duct cleaning & repairSealing leaks and fixing disconnected runs so your system isn't pushing crawlspace air into your rooms.
  • Moisture & mold mitigationDrying things out, treating mold, and fixing the source so it doesn't come back.
Every crawlspace job includes
  • A full crawl-through inspection before I quote
  • Photos, so you can see exactly what I see down there
  • The moisture source fixed, not just covered up
  • Clean haul-out of old barrier, debris, and wet insulation
  • A walkthrough of the finished space with you

The whole house, one cut-away

Tap a layer of the house to see what I do there.

Every home is built in layers, from the dirt up. I work all of them — bottom to top.

Beyond the build

Move-in, move-out, and everything that isn't nailed down
Window washing

Streak-free inside and out, screens and tracks included.

Junk removal

Single items to full loads — hauled off and disposed of right.

Moving

Local moves, heavy lifting, load and unload.

Contents work

Pack-outs, inventory, storage, and careful pack-backs.

Why Borah

Fewer numbers in your phone. Better work in your house.

/ 01

One person owns it

No subcontractor handoffs, no finger-pointing. The person who quotes the job is the person who does it and the person you call after.

/ 02

I start where others won't

Crawlspaces, moisture, encapsulation, mitigation. A restoration background means I read the parts of a house most people never crawl into.

/ 03

Foundation to finish

Vapor barrier to baseboard, crawlspace to fresh paint. One crew that takes a space from the ground up.
