New York Contractor and First Responder Transforms Fixer-Upper with Composite Shingle and Stone
Jake and Mary Worstell bought a fixer-upper home in Carmel, New York, nearly 10 years ago after spending their early married life in Staten Island, New York, where Jake served as a firefighter for the Fire Department of New York City. After their second child was born, the couple decided to relocate to a more rural part of the state just 50 miles north of the city. With some scheduling finesse, Jake was able to continue his career with the FDNY while establishing a successful Hudson Valley contracting business, J-Pro Construction.
Having worked as a carpenter from a young age, Jake quickly earned a stellar reputation for full-service renovation, focusing on kitchen, bathroom and deck restoration. Keeping up on new advancements in building products, the contractor recently transformed the exterior of his own home using two composite products from Tando.
