Custom Tilework

Tile is one of AJ’s specialties and an area where his attention to detail really shows. From custom showers and tile floors to kitchen backsplashes, niches and specialty installations, he brings decades of experience to every project. The result is tilework that looks incredible, is done right and is built to last.

Bathroom Remodeling

Whether it’s replacing an outdated shower or completely rebuilding the room, AJ takes on bathroom remodels of all sizes. From tile and flooring to vanities, fixtures and finish work, he thinks through how everything needs to come together so the finished bathroom looks great, functions well and holds up over time.

Kitchen Remodeling

From updating a kitchen to taking it down and starting over, Big Oak Construction handles cabinets, countertops, tile backsplashes, flooring, trim and layout changes. AJ brings decades of construction experience to the entire project, making sure the finished kitchen doesn’t just look good, but is put together the way it should be.

Basement
Remodeling

An unfinished or outdated basement can become some of the most useful space in your home. Big Oak Construction handles everything from framing and flooring to doors, trim and finished living spaces, with AJ overseeing the project and making sure the work behind the walls gets the same care as what you see when it’s finished.

Complete Home Rennovations

When a project involves more than one room, AJ has the experience to look at the home as a whole. Big Oak Construction takes on extensive renovations, layout changes and complete home updates, working through the details and challenges that come with larger projects instead of taking shortcuts around them.

Room Additions

Adding onto an existing home takes more than simply building another room. AJ brings the experience to think through how the new space connects to the existing home, from structure and layout to the details that make the addition feel like it belongs there.

New Home Construction

With more than 30 years of hands-on construction experience, AJ understands a home from the ground up. Big Oak Construction takes on new home builds with a focus on thoughtful planning, solid construction and getting the details right throughout the build, not just when it’s time for the finishes.

Barndominiums & Shouses

A barndominium or shouse should be designed around how you actually plan to live, work and use the property. Big Oak Construction can build living space alongside large garages, shops and storage, with AJ helping work through the layout and construction details that make the whole building work together.

Custom Closets & Pantries

Good storage should fit your space instead of the other way around. AJ builds custom closets, pantries, shelving and built-ins around the home and what you need to store, giving you a finished solution that makes better use of the space you already have.

Decks, Porches, & Stairs

Whether you’re replacing something that has seen better days or adding a new outdoor space, AJ builds decks, porches and stairs with the same standard he brings inside the home. That means solid construction, clean finish work and something that looks like it belongs with your home.

Interior / Exterior Doors

Replacing a door sounds simple until the opening isn’t square, the old framing creates problems or the new door doesn’t fit quite the way it should. AJ handles interior and exterior door installation and replacement, including the adjustments, trim and finish work needed to get it right.

Finish Carpentry

Finish work is where small details become very noticeable. From trim, baseboards and casing to shelving and other custom carpentry, AJ brings a particularly careful eye to the final details that pull a room or remodel together.

ADA Modifications / Accessibility

Big Oak Construction can make practical modifications that help your home work better for you or your family. From accessible showers and grab bars to ramps, wider openings and other updates, AJ works with the existing space to create solutions that improve safety, mobility and everyday use.

Smaller Home Projects

Not every job needs to be a major remodel. AJ also takes on smaller construction, repair and home improvement projects when they’re a good fit for his schedule and expertise. If you have something that needs to be built, replaced or fixed correctly, reach out and tell us what you have in mind.
