The 2Good2BTru Crew

While keeping our crew busy this winter as we awaited spring building permits, we discovered a vast untapped market-small jobs for people who are sick of unreliable, unprofessional, and unsavory contractors. We’ve been flooded with requests, mostly from old friends, to do smaller jobs. We use the proceeds to fund our charitable work. We discovered a great niche, and are proud to officially announce a new division of Community Building Works! Inc.

Wouldn’t you like to have knowledgeable, honest, intelligent, hard-working, reliable people you could call on to work on your house? With one of the foremost experts on cost-effective design, construction efficiency, and building science in the nation trouble-shooting your project, doing the cost-estimating, and supervising the work? (Our E.D. is a nationally-recognized trainer, a master builder with a Cornell Architecture background, and has 39 years of hands-on experience designing, building, and teaching, both at the local and at the international level.) Wouldn’t it be great if the workers were actually insured—not just liability, disability, and workmen’s comp, but also health insurance—yet still charged a more-than-fair price? Wouldn’t it be extra great if they were experts on green building techniques, or if the profits went to a good cause—like building green affordable housing locally and internationally?

It’s NOT too good to be true! The 2Good2BeTru Crew—Jack Jensen, Gideon Stone, and Nate Litwin are now available to the public for small jobs up to new house construction. We’re well-equipped and well-experienced pros, and we’re all proud members of the Ithaca Green Building Alliance. Since we’re trained homebuilders, we can do and (have done) virtually anything—foundations, framing, roofs, insulation, siding, windows and doors, decks, trim, bathrooms, kitchens, additions . . .we have a file bursting full of testimonials from satisfied customers. Free estimates, $40/hour plus 15% markup on materials and subcontractors. Call 607-533-7648 or email:jjensen2@twcny.rr.com
