a note from the founder

Michael Crimi/ Founder and president

As a hands on operator, and boots-on-the-ground experienced veteran in Disaster relief of 25 years, and 20 years as a general contractor, my hope is always, that we can build, remodel, and restore homes in a quality- timely manner. My commitment to partnering organizations, as well as home owners, is that we remember the ultimate mission,, which is to love people, restore hope, and rebuild lives...1 family at a time.

Respond to the call....

For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Eph. 2:10
