Project Management

Most people face daily decisions about time, money, energy, and problem solving and creative thinking. I get it. You need someone understanding and capable, someone who gives back some of your resources. Simply acknowledging a need is the hardest part! I’ll meet you for the rest of the journey.

So why not?

Would you hire someone who always offers free estimates? Provides confidentiality automatically? Is consistent with costs and rates? Doesn’t require a password to get started? Genuinely does a good job, every time?

About the owner: I moved to Madison in 2012 for a teaching job. I brought with me a graduate degree in education, 7 years of working with paint and power tools to produce theatrical sets, and a lifetime of enjoying working with my hands. Professionally, I worked as a K-12 teacher for a decade, then navigated into educating adults and developing the workforce in partnership with nonprofits. I enjoy seeing projects start-to-finish, and helping people to experience dignity on their own terms. In 2021, I bought a condo and fully renovated it with my own skills and energy. As a sole proprietor, I continue to surprise new people with the variety of knowledge I bring to their homes, and I’m excited to celebrate my third season serving you. I have a business goal of informally partnering with large-scale painters and landscapers and home-edit folks, and I’m proud to say that I do all my own work for now!

Process

  • We’ll talk about the type and scope of your project. This will us gather our questions and get excited for step two!

  • We’ll walk through the project, looking especially at supplies and safety concerns. You will receive a project plan draft, and be presented with a few options to move forward. This will be a 30 minute visit in person, followed by email.

  • Current Offer Summer 2025:

    One-Time work session, 3-4 hours, pay same-day. This is great for people who work along side, or have small projects, or have an extended timeline, or who aren’t sure about making a full plan.

    Project Plan. Favorite! Folks who are ready for Julia to manage several sessions of work, are committed to the supplies and have a quicker timeline will be well served with this option! This will be spelled out in detail in your Estimate.

  • Every two weeks, you’ll get a text with open times. You’ll also get a monthly email newsletter. It’s just so easy for life to get busy, but we like to honor the progress and value! Feel free to opt out, of course.
