From worn-out shingles to a clean new metal roof! 🔨🏠

We had the luxury of doing this project and it involved removing 3 layers of existing shingles before installing a brand-new metal roofing system. Even with the tear-off, cleanup, and a few additional projects requested by the homeowner along the way, we were able to complete everything in just 4 days. We’re proud to provide quality craftsmanship, honest pricing, and efficient service without cutting corners. The finished product not only looks great but will help protect this home for many years to come.

Thank you to our customer for trusting Built By Rouse with the opportunity to complete this project!

Woodworking is more than just putting boards together.
It’s taking rough cedar like this — raw, uneven, and unfinished — and turning it into something built with purpose, precision, and patience. Every cut, every bevel, every sanded edge takes time. What starts as simple lumber becomes my custom cedar projects designed to last and made by hand from the ground up.
Most people see the finished cedar planter. I see the rough boards… the sawdust… the sanding… the measuring twice… the small imperfections corrected by hand… and the hours it took to turn raw cedar into something beautiful. That’s woodworking.
A lot happens between the first board and the finished product people bring home. That transformation is the part I enjoy most. Quality work doesn’t happen overnight — it’s built one detail at a time.
Thank you to everyone supporting Built By Rouse as I continue growing and creating custom pieces built to last.

Built by hand.
Built with care.

Another custom project we had the luxury to complete.

This client wanted a fully custom storage and shelving solution built to fit their space, with the flexibility to add their own personal finishing touches—so we came in, framed, built, and installed the custom shelving system, leaving it ready for the homeowner to complete the final paint and finish exactly how they envisioned it.

We love projects like this because every customer has a different vision, and we’re here to help bring it to life—whether you want a full turn-key build or just need skilled craftsmanship to get your project to the next stage.
