History
Al & Ginger met at her birthday party. Al was brought by a mutual friend and they were 5 1/2 hours late. Al & Ginger got married in 1996. They have two special needs children, which is part of the reason they own their own business: to make their own hours and schedule. They found that their individual talents complemented each other’s in surprising, and what turned out to be inseparable, ways. This made them eager to cultivate their own business. They are both problem solvers, which is why their expertise is in remodeling. What makes their business thrive is the passion that drives it. Choosing to specialize in a field means that you are completely devoted to it; that you will protect it as if it were your own. That is the energy that sets them apart.
Al Started contracting himself out, under the pseudonym AL47 in 2001. Ginger joined him full time in 2006. They work well together, and are together 24/7. They are still happily married.

Albert grew up in Key West. His family moved to Fredericksburg in 1984, his freshman year. He participated in band as 1st chair tuba, and church as an acolyte. His parents always had remodeling done, and Al took an interest. While spending time “finding himself’, He owned a small music shop. He found carpentry when he and Ginger built their home. Professionally he started out laying tile, then moved quickly through other trades, picking up skills. He eventually started running other contractors’ jobs as a “mercenary”, through contract.
