  3. Everett Andrews- getting to know your millworker- Part 1

    EPISODE 19

    Everett Andrews- getting to know your millworker- Part 1

    Everett Andrews is a lifelong craftsman. In grade school, he helped his grandfather, an   architect and building inspector, build a working gristmill. High school days were   focused on learning the basics of cabinetmaking.  A strong work ethic developed as   logging, landscaping, and timber-framing jobs filled the days following school. While   building furniture, turning wood, and learning about building science, a love for working   with his hands grew into a full time vocation. The next ten years were spent building and remodeling many fine homes and   commercial properties in the Blackstone valley.   As interests shifted, and his family grew, Everett moved into furniture making at a local   shop and then architectural millwork at a growing Worcester based company. As the   company grew, as did his skills and responsibilities. Problem solving and   communication skills were developed through more complex and detailed projects. He   became the site supervisor and project manager customers sought out for their high-end residential and commercial projects from Maine to New Jersey, and Cape Cod to   Vermont.   In 2012, EA Custom Millwork was established, opening the latest chapter in Everett’s   career. He endeavors to provide every customer with an enjoyable experience by   personally overseeing all aspects of the project at hand.   When he is not making sawdust or working with clients, Everett can be found spending   time with his grown children, hiking, flyfishing, and sailing the coast of New England.   Fred Gutierrez is the host of "Home Owner's Institute" , podcast, and runs the company ShepherdPMC with his partner Mike McHugh. Fred is a licensed architect who worked as a custom home builder in Boston MA. ShepherdPMC has dedicated their unique experience to help engaged owners lead the realization of their dream homes confidently and with purpose.
