HI, I'M YOUNG!
This is my company, GDE. It stands for Grace, Daniel and Eugene: my wife and our two boys, the people I do this for. I've been working in construction since my early 20s, and over the last 30 years I've built my reputation on doing things the right way. My team and I are proud of the work we do, especially the things you'll never see that make all the difference in the long run.
Scroll down to see some of the things we do here at GDE.
