Originally from Paris France, I moved here 15 years ago. After many years in real estate and banking, I decided to start my own business in home remodeling. My business 225 Home Maintenance specializes in paint and carpentry. I work mostly with real estate agents helping them put residential homes on the market to get the best price for their customers. In the future I will be working and focusing on a handyman business focusing on our senior citizens, we will be providing services to help them stay in their homes longer by helping with the maintenance of their homes. I believe this will be my way to contribute to our community.
