| Few builders
can offer the range of fine woodworking skills that Dan Englund brings
to each home and commercial building project. Dan's training as a
finish carpenter and builder began as a teenager in 1978, and he has
since continued to expand his range of abilities, building custom
staircases, doors, windows, furniture, and, of course, homes and commercial
buildings. Dan is pleased to make himself available for select projects
throughout the Colorado and New Mexico area. |
 |
| 1978-80 |
Dan's training
began as an apprentice with both J.C. Brothers, and Siefert & Sons,
building custom homes in the Glen Ellyn, IL area. Working under highly
skilled carpenters, he learned framing, siding, fascia, and soffit
construction. |
| 1980-84 |
Joined the carpenters'
union and completed his 4 year union apprenticeship program while
framing for union contractor R.D. Thiel, also in Glen Ellyn, IL. During
this time, he began learning to run his own crews. |
| 1984-85 |
Worked as a
foreman, running crews of up to 40 carpenters, for Lenny Zsarik Construction,
another union contractor. |
| 1985-89 |
Worked for Cooper
Stair, learning the intricacies of staircase design and construction,
including circular and curved staircases. |
| 1989-99 |
Started his
own custom stair building company, Step by Step Stair & Millwork,
in Woodstock, IL. Handled all design work and sales, and oversaw design,
production and installation of about 150 staircases per year. The
company specialized in custom circular staircases, using a wide variety
of woods. Dan’s design skills were much in demand by builders,
as he began to design whole foyers to accompany his unique staircases.
|
| 1999-present |
Dan and his
wife Anne moved from Illinois to Colorado, where Dan has continued
to do custom building and remodeling, including architectural finish
carpentry including high-quality custom doors and staircases. He has
also expanded into custom log work, including log stairs and railings,
porches, and roof construction. He has also begun serving his clients
as general contractor on select projects. |
