Where We Come From

Based out of rural Heath, Ohio, we have a penchant for a bygone era in home remodeling. An era that was punctuated by local workers learning and applying skills through apprenticeships, having a strong desire to perfect a craft, and achieve artisanship through hard work and talent.

One of our core tenets, "Teach, Show, Do," demonstrates a comprehension of that era. It also extends from founder, Guy Zierk's, military background; A veteran of 24 years in the Marine Corps, deployed in both peace and war.

Above all, there is an element of family. It's an idea of the crew being a cohesive unit, even if tackling multiple jobs in one day. It extends to those outside of the crew as well, especially to Kelly Zierk, a loving and supporting wife and honorary member of the crew. Finally, to the property, which Guy and Kelly knew it would be the last place they would be "Stationed."
