ABOUT
I have been a carpenter for 25 years. Most of that time, I have been specializing in remodeling and renovations. The last ten years or so, I have worked extensively for “house flippers” and have expanded my areas of proficiency to include flooring, light electrical, drywall repair, light plumbing, tiling and painting. I have extensive experience in both interior and exterior trim work and because I work mostly alone, can control both the quality of the work performed and the timeliness of the job.
I really enjoy the creative process of a renovation or even a simple handyman project and being able to say, “I made that.” The satisfaction of knowing I helped solved a problem, or helped make an improvement is very rewarding.

Trim or Molding Installation
Dan Olsen of Sandhill Craftsman is an excellent carpenter with decades of experience and a broad skill set. He always arrives in the morning on time. He installed a shiplap ceiling in our living room, hallway, kitchen and bathroom. We are delighted with the result. I will aways look to Sandhill Craftsman for all of our remodeling and repair needs.

General Carpentry
Fantastic quality work! I had 4 posts on my back patio that I wanted to have wrapped with cypress and Dan did an awesome job with it. He even hand routed all the trim which Super impressed me. It looks great. Before and after photos included.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Every job is different. That’s why I ask to see things first.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Normally, I like to meet with a potential client and hear their ideas and plans for each project. That way, I can get a decent feel for what the project entails and I can give a more informed and accurate estimate instead of a ballpark figure.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have worked extensively in the carpentry trade, as a framer, a union carpenter doing light commercial work and as a remodeler. I took classes in woodworking, furniture making, and engineering. I have been a licensed general contractor in Ohio, Georgia, and Florida.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
Accident. I just wanted to be the guy holding a sign on the road by the site, but found I really liked it.
