What Dusty Does
One craftsman. Every detail. Zero corners cut.
Dusty handles your project start to finish himself, which means cleaner builds, fewer subcontractors, and one person accountable for the whole job.
Home Improvement
Trim, doors, flooring, drywall, and the honest punch-list work that finally makes a house feel finished, done right and explained in plain English.
Decks & Outdoor
Cedar decks, pergolas, railings, and outdoor living spaces built to weather the seasons and look sharp doing it.
Remodels & Built-ins
Kitchens, baths, mudrooms, and fireplace surrounds, seamless built-ins that look like they came with the house.
Repairs & Handyman
Squeaky stairs, sticking doors, busted trim, that gap nobody else will fix, the fix-it list that finally gets done right.
And More
If you can describe it, Dusty can probably build it. Got something unusual in mind? That's his favorite kind of project.

The Craftsman
Meet the guy who actually builds it
I'm Dusty, and Custom Dusty Projects is just me. No call center, no rotating crew, no salesman in a polo. When you hire me, the person who quotes your project is the same person who mills the wood, drives every screw, and sweeps up at the end.
I came up doing fine woodworking, then kept taking on more of the build (trim, built-ins, full remodels) because I was tired of handing my work off to someone who didn't sweat the details. Now I handle the whole project, and that's where the magic happens. A built-in that fits like it grew there. A staircase done right. A space finished exactly the way it should be.
I'm obsessive about the details most people never notice: the reveal lines, the grain match, the joint you'll never notice. If it's got my name on it, it's done right.

“Two years ago Dusty put in an amazing new deck for my family. We loved his work so much that we brought him back when our sunroom needed remodeling, and it was in rough shape. It needed a wall replaced, a sliding door installed, new windows, part of the roof repaired, plus we wanted a mini split put in. It was amazing how hard he worked and the long days he put in, plus all the detail work. He went out of his way to make sure everything was exactly how we wanted it, and it all turned out perfect. Can't wait to work with Dusty again.”

Good Questions
Before you reach out
The stuff people usually want to know. Don't see your question? Just ask Dusty directly.
What areas do you serve?
Dusty serves the San Francisco Bay Area. Not sure if you're in range? Just ask, if it's a project worth doing, it's usually worth the drive.
Do you really handle the whole project yourself?
Yes, and that's the whole point. One craftsman start to finish means tighter results, fewer subs to coordinate, and a single person accountable for the finished work.
Are estimates free?
Always. Dusty will talk through your project, look at the space, and give you a clear, honest price with no pressure.
How long will my project take?
It depends on scope, a repair might be a day, a custom kitchen island a couple of weeks. Dusty gives you a realistic timeline up front and keeps you posted as the work moves along.
