We bring in the best subcontractors and trades. We hold everyone working on the project accountable. We realize the last 10% of the project requires 100% of the effort. We know the finishes are the goal, but without good structure they will never be acceptable.
Aside from the quality of work we provide, our values often differentiate us from anyone else. We approach each and every project through the lens of these values to ensure that your project is up to your quality standards and ours.
Quality starts before the project begins at the first meeting and during estimate generation. Clear understanding of the project encourages quality work and results.
Pride allows us to be critical of ourselves during the whole process. If we lose the
pride in our work, then we lose the quality.
Passion is the life blood of why we do what we do every day. The passion is driven by the pride we take in our projects. Passion brings us to work every day to do the best we can on every project.
Everyone enjoys knowing the journey companies take to get where they are today. The Modus journey is one that is not typical, but in a way no journey ever goes as planned!
I lived locally almost all my life. I call Egg Harbor Township home. I am
married with two children. I attended Atlantic Community College and Glassboro State College with chemistry degree. I have 25 years of experience in the construction/carpentry industry.
It would be a lot easier for us to have a conversation about my bio then to write it out here!
It all started building wood forts in the back yard as a child. Oh man were those forts a disaster! Nails sticking down through the roof giving us scars we have on our heads to this day to plans of the biggest fort in the world! If only we had the resources to build it.
The awesome opportunity in high school to learn the plumbing trade from my
Pop-Pop. To learning basic carpentry from two uncles. Realizing plumbing was
good but man you come home with dirty hands and smelly clothes. To getting the opposite with clean hands and that smell of freshly cut wood as a carpenter.
Then going to college to be a chemistry major and working in the environmental field in a basement only to realize working outdoors and with my hands was dearly missed.
Knowing carpentry was a passion and realizing I was not experienced enough to do it on my own and I had to learn from the bottom up. So, tracking down the best carpentry company in my area and becoming persistent on getting hired when there were no openings was my focus until I got hired. I could not work for just any carpentry company, it had to be the best.
Once hired, I asked questions and observed all the different jobs and skill sets on the job site and learned them all. Framing roofs was described as hard and you really need to understand math. Wait, math on the construction site. How could that be, only college students needed to know math for the real world. Guess what, the math I learned in high school and college was the math I needed for carpentry! I would have never guessed.
So, I set out to learn the math or better yet apply the math I already knew! I met with coworkers after hours to be taught and ask questions. Once I comprehended the application, I could not wait to cut my first roof. I had found my passion and they call it Carpentry!
So where do you go after you understand and excel at carpentry, you look to be a project manager of a construction company. A place where you oversee the project from start to finish. Again, the only way I could do this was find the best company in my area that would bring me up as a project manager. I found that company and did some amazing projects using my advanced carpentry skills and learned project management skills.
Deep down there was a drive to run my own company. When an opportunity
came along to start the business, boy did I have to make sure I was ready. After consulting with close friends and family, the time was right.
The initial goal was to be able to have enough work for myself. Well, that lasted for a month and a half. So, I hired a helper. Then I needed another employee 2 months later. To this day the company has been blessed with enough work to have 7 employees, 3 vehicles on the road and more than enough work for myself teaching and training the crew to have passion for what they do!
