One pair of hands, first cut to last.

Kianben is one person, so the hands that price your job are the hands that build it. Nothing is passed down a line and nothing gets lost between trades.

That means fewer jobs a year than a larger outfit takes on. It also means you always know who is on site: hand-cut framing, honest repairs to old houses, and additions built to outlast me.
