Sam Okafor

Lead Carpenter

The seam specialist. If you cannot find where the addition meets the original house, that is Sam's work doing its job.

JP Portrait reserved · demo site

June Park

Interiors + Materials

Keeps the sample library honest and the selections on budget. June knows which cream paint goes gray at dusk, and will not let you buy it.

All team members are fictional characters created for this design demonstration.

Behind the six

Plus six more in the field

Carpenters, apprentices, and a finish specialist who has strong opinions about caulk lines. Our crew has an average tenure of eight years (illustrative), because we treat skilled trades like the career it is: apprenticeships, benefits, and winters that do not mean layoffs.
