Greetings! I founded this LLC to provide restoration project-based services to regular people, and have met some exceptional folks! I want individuals and families to have information, health, and skills to enjoy and maintain their homes. The tangible and visible services I bring in a work session are part of the story, but my work style and superpower is customizing everything, especially the pace and timeline. I love working with people in whatever capacity they feel comfortable: teamwork can be a huge value-add. However, the ability to provide a high-quality result by working independently is what allows me to be self-employed. I left regular employment after many successes, and have enjoyed volunteering to continue my positive impact in the community. Working Projects allows me to self-sustain a simple lifestyle and be generous to my family and neighbors. It brings me great joy to socialize with folks around an activity, especially something that can be ongoingly generative for them (you)! I think you’ll find my services are an asset, a little bit cheaper and faster than other options, and interesting!

Dignity and Choice. Sense. Beauty.

What about a free estimate?

It’s worth your time to ask a few questions via phone. At the first meeting, then you’ll show me the project areas, and you’ll learn about this LLC simple policies and history with similar projects. The planning form gathers info about your values, priorities, the space and detail expectations, alternatives you’ve tried and questions you have. We’ll talk about supplies, and what else is happening in the work area. You’ll decide your method of payment and scheduling, then receive a prioritized list of deliverables including materials list. You’ll only be charged for the work that occurs within the plans.

  • Absolutely. Please indicate this request via email or form. We’ll schedule an hour for $75. Research or design will be an additional charge.

  • I’m from Ohio and found a path to college to be a teacher. I was always interested in sorting through things and making displays. As a big sister, I got pretty good at changing processes to help others, and looked for career opportunities with continuous improvement and change. I also found deep satisfaction working behind the scenes theatre in college. I loved school and finished my graduate degree in 2009. After about 10 years of classroom teaching and 7 years in workforce development social work, I was kinda done with staff meetings. I finished beautifully renovating my condo, and reflected on my grandfather’s legacy, the success I had working one-on-one with dozens of people from many walks of life, and felt compassion of several mentors. By March of 2023, I was pretty tired of arbitrary performance evaluations and created an LLC. Another iteration of making the best of things. Every spring I plant some veggies and flowers, and get more confident in my landscaping skills. Self-employment is like continuous interviewing with better stakes. I feel that my people-centered, organizational mindset, and plethora of monetizable hobbies are worthwhile to add value in the community. 

    I grew up in a family that values history, that people are significant, as we do in typical middle America. We had plates, photos, lamps from great aunt Josephine and people enjoyed talking about them. When I bought a condo in 2021, I got to fully renovate it, and really had an opportunity to establish my own value for space and stuff. I had to make decisions and carry boxes and explain the process to other people. I have a treasure shelf now, and my family has seen it. It’s a premium experience, to have that sense of dignity about home, and to share the process of organizing with others.

  • LLC is founded on paper with Wisconsin and IRS winter of 2023, official website launch and first yardwork clients that spring! Several folks hired my help with moving, painting, and basements late in the summer. That winter LLC provided recurring home cleaning, then yardwork clientele doubled in the spring of 2024. The cold months LLC helped a few young families stay organized and 100% of my landscaping clients have renewed services for the 2025 season. One short term goal is to achieve Better Business Bureau accreditation (it’s just a membership fee!) As income becomes more steady, I’ll develop a vision for being an employer/mentor, community partner, and consultant.
