About Cardinal Skills

As home owners we all find ourselves in situations that are beyond our skill set. I know nothing about furnace repair or hot water heaters. I am skilled at creating shelves inside closets that results in  doubling the storage space, hanging pictures neatly on walls, doing drywall repair so that it looks like new, adding a small wall where it is desired, trim your hedge to give the look and feel of professional workmanship or creating custom property fencing. If you wish to utilize my skills, it is best to phone, text or use the  Contact Form at the bottom of this page.

As you may have already surmised from this website, I am a retired educator who is eager to use his hands and mind to transform living spaces that we inhabit inside our homes , our back yards and in our front yards. You may be in the mood to fix what is broken, improve an existing living space or create something radically different and new.  Each of these projects appeals to my ambition to repair, improve and create. Send me a text with your ideas or use the Contact Form below.

"I hired Cardinal Skills for two separate jobs. One was the installation of ornate shelving, the other was design, build and installation of an oversized storage bin. In both cases Jim communicated well, adhered time frames and provided great value at a reasonable cost. Overall very trustworthy and I loved the end results!"
