Home Repair and Remodeling Consulting · NJ-Based · Nationwide via Video
40+ years ripping apart my own homes and putting them back together. Now in your corner when something's broken, something's planned, or something just doesn't feel right. I'll help you figure out what's worth fixing, what you can do yourself, and who to hire if you shouldn't.
Twelve pages of what I wish I'd known before my first repair — and my first remodel. Diagnosis missteps, permit traps, material markups, and the sequencing mistakes that cost thousands.

Over four decades I've fixed leaks and replaced fixtures, gutted and rebuilt kitchens, finished basements from bare studs, converted attics into usable living space, and chased down every mystery noise and smell a house can produce — all in my own homes, none of it hired out.
The name says it all: RE stands for Real Estate — your most valuable asset. Engineered is how I approach it. I use the same systematic thinking I apply to software — diagnose, sequence, fix — to help homeowners RE-engineer their Real Estate the way I have mine.
Whether something's broken and you can't tell how bad it is, or you're planning a project and don't know where to start, I'll give you a clear read. Twenty minutes with me saves most homeowners from panicking, overpaying, or making it worse. You'll know:
Tell me what's going on — a repair you can't figure out, a contractor quote that feels off, or a project you're scoping. No obligation.
What's actually going on, what it's worth fixing, what you can DIY, and what to hire out. In writing if you want it — or straight from the call if that's all you need.
Repair it, schedule the right pro, or plan the project. I'm available for check-ins along the way so you're never stuck.
