    • Jul 1997 - Present
    • Kingsport, Tennessee, United States

    My husband is a state licensed and bonded Contractor with the State of Tennessee. He also is a licensed plumber. His greatest love is working with wood and tile flooring; he's a talented wood worker; and he enjoys remodeling projects as well as building a custom home just for you!Our company name comes from our family, two of us plus five children. Although the children are mostly flown from the nest these days, we have had all of them working on projects with us - such as painting wood trim in the garage of a home Paul built in Copperfield Community.Although this is a second job for him right now, when he retires from his corporate job, he hopes to devote full-time to doing what he loves - working with his hands and building quality homes.http://7ofusbuilding.com/
