Paul started his career as an historic remodeling contractor, and for 15 years he tackled just about every kind of residential repair and remodeling task imaginable. Having a creative nature and a degree in fine art, he endeavored to improve processes and results on every job he completed. Historic houses almost always need some structural repair, and Paul became the go-to guy for big engineering problems and dealing with houses that suffered decades of rot and neglect. Not satisfied with just repairing the structure, he started Complete Crawlspace with his business partner, Mike Bergen, to fill the need for qualified contractors working to properly identify and durably correct the problems causing the repairs he was doing.

Today, Complete Crawlspace is the go-to company top-selling real estate agents rely on for repair addendums and smooth closings, and they frequently partner with respected engineers and indoor air quality professionals to tackle the most challenging moisture and structural issues found in homes. Thoughtful and process driven, Paul will work tirelessly to perform the highest quality repairs, treating everyone fairly and with respect.

Paul is plant obsessed and maintains a large home garden. He still paints and creates, and his wife Kourtnay keeps him busy improving their home. In their free time, Paul and Kourtnay enjoy good food, good wine, and good company. They love animals—especially dogs and chickens—and think the best way to explore a new place is on foot. They like to cook, read, go to art shows, beach it, and have friends and family over for meals, games, or relaxation by the water.
