Ian has done it all many times in my house -- plumbing, drywall, painting, flooring, cabinetry, fine trim, electrical repairs and installation. He is utterly trustworthy, thorough and professional. Ian Fratar has worked on multiple projects for us. Ian's work has been fantastic, and he is a tremendous problem solver who goes the extra distance. Ian is very impressive, meticulous, knows what he's doing, efficient, and you can be sure he will follow up - very professional. We were always more than satisfied with his work and appreciated the thoughtful way he approached each project, presenting alternative solutions and always seeking our input.
From teen to adult, I have been driven to solve the unique challenges of repairs and to provide custom solutions. In my teens, I was carpenter's apprentice as well as furniture refinisher. Later, I became the builder and fixer at the highly staffed Tassajara Bakery in San Francisco. From that launching point, I put in many years as commercial building fixer and maintainer for several fairly large businesses. All the while, I supplemented this with residential carpentry and plumbing apprenticeships.
When and where greywater installation is not applicable or chosen, I can custom install a drip irrigation system for you. Drip systems are efficient such that it applies water directly to the plants you choose and at a rate that will not flood past the roots before a plant has a chance to utilize needed water. This means using the perfectly good drain water from the clothes washer, shower, sink, and more to hydrate your plants / landscape. This water will otherwise go through (your) expense of city water treatment plants before going out to sea.
