  1. Tell me your idea

    Send a description, rough sizes, and any photos that show what you like.

  2. Approve the design

    I draw up your piece so we agree on its look, size, and wood before any work starts.

  3. I build it

    Pick it up in the Gardendale area, or we arrange delivery.

Design first, then build

Before I cut any wood, I draw your piece in 3D with real measurements. You see the size, proportions, and details, ask for changes, and approve the design. Then I build it.

Meet Ross

Quality Work. Honest Service. Built on Trust.

I’m Ross, the owner of Total Home Enhancements, and the person who does the work. I grew up in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, earned my degree at the University of Southern Mississippi, and served in the Army National Guard from 2008 to 2014. These days I’m based in Gardendale, where my wife and I are raising two boys.

I know that inviting someone into your home takes trust. That’s why I’m upfront about the work and the price, I keep you updated along the way, and I treat your home the way I’d want mine treated.

Have a project in mind? Tell me about it!
