Thomas Michael Barna

Note from Mike French:

Tom has over 25 years experience in carpentry and has been licensed in Maryland since 1992. Tom and his wife Erin own and operate their family business the old fashion way: Through providing personal attention to each customer.

Tom graduated top of his class in 1981 in carpentry from Perth Amboy Vocational-Technical High School in New Jersey. He started out working for a general home remodeling contractor for two years then went on to building large custom single family homes. In 1988 Tom moved to Northern California where he worked for a general home improvement contractor doing a variety of residential and commercial projects, including fire and earthquake damage repairs. He relocated to Maryland in 1991 and once again worked for a general home improvement contractor until he became licensed in 1992. At that time Tom began working as a sub-contractor for general home improvement companies which in turn led him to be a contractor specializing in decks. Tom is a certified TREXPRO™ contractor and a member of the Deck Industry Association.

Erin graduated from San Jose State University in California with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing in 1991 and was commissioned an Officer in the U.S. Navy. In February 1995 she left nursing to focus on family and join Tom in operating their home improvement company. As of January 2004 Erin returned to nursing but works in the office two days a week and most evenings.

"I've know Tom and Erin for over 10 years and been extremely happy with this company's work and treatment of my clients. You won't go wrong with Tom Barna building your project." -- Mike French

You can work together with Mike French through the Design-at-a-Distance service by first emailing us a Client Worksheet and then request this fine Builder for your project.

You can also request this firm to do an On Site Design for you. They are excellent Designers and love to work with homeowners. (The operative word here is "with"... not against)

But before you do either one, please be sure to download and work with our Deck and Porch Excel Price Worksheet.
It is how we price out all of our projects.

For Design & Build projects in Maryland (after you have worked with the above spreadsheet), call 301 668-8880 m/w/f 10am-1pm Eastern. I will insure the Excel Price Worksheet is giving you accurate prices and we can review what we need to get your design started. Thanks!
