Justin Lively and his company Heathen Carpentry do excellent work. He is responsive to clients needs and incredibly talented. He also does not appear to have a mysogenistic bone in his body. I have found this to be a rare and ideal quality in contractors. Highly recommend him for your home renovations or new builds.
