"Most people don't realize their home is a complex machine. When that machine is built to the "legal minimum," it fails. I started Seven Pillars Construction to stop the cycle of drafty, unhealthy, and inefficient houses."
"For years, I saw standard construction projects where the focus was only on the paint and the countertops, while the 'bones' of the house were leaking energy and inviting moisture. I knew there was a better way, one rooted in physics and precision. I've dedicated myself to building science because I believe a home should protect your family's health and your financial investment for generations."
"When I walk onto a job site, I don't just see walls and windows. I see thermal bridges. I see air pressure differentials. I see vapor profiles. My obsession with the 'invisible' details, the 7 Pillars, is what ensures your home is whisper quiet, incredibly efficient, and bone dry for decades."
"Every project I take on is filtered through my 7 Pillars of High Performance:
Airtight Envelopes
Thermal Breaks
Filtered Fresh Air
Vapor Management
Bulk Water Defense
Acoustic Sanctuary
Long Term resilience."

"When I'm not on a job site, you can find me at a basketball game or a baseball and softball field cheering on my kids. I grew up in the small village of Florien, La. I'm married to the love of my life, Emmy Swindle. We have been blessed with 5 children; ages spanning from 6-14 years old. I have always had a love and fascination for woodworking. Being able to create something beautiful, functional, and efficient drives me. I build every home as if my own family were moving in."
