A Lifetime of Experience
Over 50 Years Of Construction Experience
The year was 1991 when we moved to Northern Virginia, George Bush Senior was president and Saddam Hussein had just invaded Kuwait, setting up the war in the Persian Gulf.
We were young and hungry for cash, and started working in the drywall trade, first as laborers and then as metal framers and drywall hangers. We were fast learners and soon found ourselves on supervisory roles.
These supervisory roles allowed us to provide for our families a decent standard of living and we spent the next couple of decades as parents while honing our skills as foremen, estimators and project managers.

Our Services
Cold-Formed Metal Framing
Commonly known as "heavy-gage" metal framing, it is used to provide the structure for the "skin" or "envelope" of a building. This type of framing provides support for the exterior finishes of a building, finishes such as, brick, stone, metal panels, EIFS and glazing systems.
These framing systems must be designed by a licensed structural engineer and undergo rigorous inspections to ensure they withstand required wind & dead loads.
Non-Structural Metal Framing
Usually used in conjunction with gypsum board in the construction of interior partitions, soffits and ceilings, these systems have replaced the plastering methods of olden times. Unlike Cold-Formed Metal Framing, these framed partitions do not need to be designed by an engineer, but they still need to be inspected to ensure adherence to established norms, building codes and tested fire and sound-rated assemblies. Non-structural metal framing is lightweight and can be cut and molded to just about any shape conceivable .
Gypsum Board
Gypsum board systems have replaced the plastering methods of years past, these boards are versatile materials that can be configurated to provide a variety of sound and fire-rated assemblies. Gypsum boards can also be molded onto different shapes to provide intricate architectural features. Over the years, the manufacturers of these products have developed a range of products for specific applications and have become an essential component in most modern buildings .
Acoustical Ceilings
Acoustical ceilings are used as an alternative to drywall ceilings. These ceilings absorb sound, reduce echoes and improve the overall acoustical performance of a space. The ceiling panels are also removable and provide access to the ceiling plenum to service utilities above.
These ceilings come in a wide variety of finishes, sizes and profiles and it's important to secure the services of an experienced contractor to match each ceiling tile to its suspension system to ensure a proper application.
Miscellaneous Rough Carpentry
General carpentry remains an essential part of any construction site. Wood is still an important component in most types of buildings, it remains the material of choice for concealed blocking due to its versatility and grip, whether you are using it as in-wall blocking, on roof parapets or roof curbs, it is also the material of choice temporary safety barricades. A carpenter is still one of the essential fixtures on most construction sites.
Interior Specialties
The installation of some interior specialties are commonly included in our scope of work. These items include, bathroom accessories, wall protection, fire extinguishers/cabinets, column covers, etc. On a some occasions, we've also asked to install other items such as, toilet partitions, kitchen appliances, writing boards, and even security turnstiles and flagpoles. If it needs to be measured, cut and secured, I'm sure we can figure to get it installed.
Safety
A Culture of Safety
The construction industry remains among the most dangerous areas to work in the United States, and the activities in a construction site need to be carefully coordinated to avoid creating unnecessary hazards and mitigate those created during normal course of work.
Our time in the construction industry have trained us to quickly identify potential hazards and the proper ways to mitigate them. Safe working practices have become sort of a second nature to us. We exist on a permanent state of vigilance and train our crews to do the same. We can say with pride that we have never lost anyone to death or serious injury and are determined to maintaining that record.
One of the biggest challenges in the construction industry is the lack of cooperation amongst the trades. A project can quickly turn downhill when a contractor refuses to work with his trade partners. We’ve learned that there is little to be gained by conflict and will seek the benefit of the project even if we have to adjust our approaches. Cooperation with our fellow trades is a core value in our organization.

“Pale Blue Dot” image taken by the Voyager 1 spacecraft. Courtesy of NASA
On February 21st, 1990, at a distance of about 4 billion miles, Voyager 1 took the most distant picture ever taken of planet Earth. It shows the Earth as a tiny pale dot in a ocean of empty space. This image inspired the astronomer Carl Sagan to write the “Pale Blue Dot Poem”
“Look again at that dot. That’s here. That’s home. That’s us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives… on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.”
“Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.”
“The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else our species could migrate… To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we’ve ever known.”
