A Different Kind of Contractor

She reads every bid
so you never overpay.

Most homeowners have no idea whether a contractor's quote is fair — and contractors know it. I do. With a background spanning carpentry, licensed handywoman work, and years of professional project management, I can look at any bid and immediately identify what's inflated, what's missing, and what's flat-out wrong. I break every contract down to its cheapest honest number — then connect you with my trusted network of tradespeople who will do it right.

Let's Talk About Your Project
I

Your Trades Are Already Insured

Under the owner-builder model, each licensed tradesperson you hire carries their own insurance and liability for their scope of work — that protection is already built into what you pay them. A GC charges a significant premium to sit on top of that same coverage. With me, you're not doubling up on overhead that doesn't add value. You get every license, every protection — and keep the markup.

II

Zero Markup. Every Dollar Is Yours.

I work entirely in your financial interest — sourcing materials at contractor pricing, picking up what's needed when it helps the project move, and making sure every dollar is spent on your behalf, not mine. No hidden margin. Ever.

III

A Network Built Over Years

I have a large roster of trusted tradespeople I recommend by name — plumbers, electricians, tile setters, carpenters, and more. You hire who I recommend. I know their work, their pricing, and exactly what to expect from them.

IV

One Hourly Fee. Complete Accountability.

My only income is my hourly management rate. I have no financial stake in which contractor you hire or what materials you buy — only in delivering the result you hired me for.

How I Help

Expert guidance at
every stage.

Start a Project

Bid & Contract Analysis

Hand me any contractor quote. I'll break it down line by line — identifying what's padded, what's missing, and what should cost far less. Most clients save significantly before a single tool is picked up.

Procurement & Budgeting

I identify the right materials, source them at contractor pricing, and hand you the contacts. You purchase everything directly — with my discounts applied. Every dollar goes to your project, not my margin.

Trade Referrals & Coordination

I recommend the right tradespeople from my trusted network — people whose work and pricing I already know. You hire and contract them directly. No mystery, no risk, no learning the hard way.

Kitchen & Bath Remodels

From single-room upgrades to full gut-and-rebuilds. I bring hands-on trade knowledge and an eye for detail that most project managers simply don't have.

Whole-Home Renovations

From the smallest repair to the grandest renovation — homes valued at $3M+ get the same standard as your neighbor's kitchen remodel.

Rescue & Recovery PM

Contractor walked off? Project stalled? Budget spiraling? I specialize in getting derailed renovations back on track — fast, organized, and without drama.

How It Works

Clear from day one.
Calm the whole way through.

I

Vision & Scope

We walk your space, talk through your vision, and I build a complete project scope — trades, timeline, and realistic budget range.

II

Plan & Procure

I use my experience and insider knowledge to evaluate when it's worth shopping multiple bids — and when I already know who the right person is and what it should cost. Either way, you get the best outcome, not just the lowest number.

III

Build & Manage

Daily on-site oversight. I manage every trade, every schedule, every problem — and keep you informed every step of the way.

IV

Finish & Deliver

Final walkthrough together. Every detail inspected. Nothing is complete until you are absolutely in love with your home.

The Low Down on Hanna

She built the business
she wished
existed.

I got tired of watching homeowners get taken advantage of. Contractors padding bids, marking up materials, disappearing mid-project — I saw it from the inside, working the trades for years as a finish carpenter and licensed handywoman, then managing projects worth millions.

Here's what most people don't see: every tradesperson builds overhead and materials cost into their bid. A GC then takes that already-padded number and adds another 30% on top — to cover their overhead, liability, and miscalculations across the whole project. You pay it whether anything goes wrong or not. With me, you pay trades directly at contractor pricing. In many cases, the discounts I pass to you alone exceed my entire management fee. My expertise, effectively, pays for itself.

I built this model because it's what I would have wanted for my own home. Complete honesty, real expertise, and someone who fights for your budget like it's their own.

No Surprises. Ever.

Let's be
straight with each other.

I'm direct with my clients because I respect them. Here's exactly what working with me looks like — and what it doesn't.

I show up, and I keep showing up.

I walk your project in person before anything starts, and I stay involved from first bid to final walkthrough. You're never left wondering what's happening.

I'll tell you when a bid is wrong.

Most homeowners don't know if a quote is fair. I do. I'll break down every line, flag what's inflated, and tell you exactly what it should cost. No softening it.

I don't front money. Not ever.

All costs — materials, labor, permits — are paid by you, directly to the vendor or tradesperson. This keeps everything transparent and means you're never wondering where your money went.

I'm primarily your consultant and coordinator.

Though for the right small tasks, I'm not afraid to pick up a tool. My real value is knowing exactly who should be doing the work, what they should charge, and whether they did it right.

I handle permits. You just sign.

I'll do everything in my power to get your owner-builder permit pulled — walking through every requirement, every form, and every submission on your behalf. You sign. I handle the rest.

We'd been burned twice. Hanna was the opposite of every contractor experience we'd had — completely transparent, always reachable, and our kitchen came in under budget. I've never felt so taken care of during a renovation.
