Meet the Master Craftsman
My name is Brent W. Sears and I am the master craftsman at Old School Craftsman. Together with my son and apprentice Brendon, and my wife Trish, we make up the Old School Craftsman team.
Over the years, many of my clients, friends, and partners have asked me about my career as a craftsman. I love to reminisce about my favorite projects, but there is only so much time in a day! I wanted to set aside some time to write down some of my experiences and my journey from my first projects to becoming the master craftsman I am today.
When looking back at home architecture over the last one hundred-plus years, there are few homes more beautiful than those built around the turn of the century.
These homes were built around 1900, a time fraught with conflict, innovation, and expanding industrialization. The availability of mass-produced home materials and recently built railroad lines meant that easily replicated styles became popular, contributing to designs that still hold great beauty today.
Your pool is one of your favorite features of your home.
However, if you are looking to upgrade your pool space, it can be difficult to know what to do. After all, your pool is already a pristine oasis, how can it get any better?
If you have had your heart fixed on a major remodel for your home, then it is worth it to save up for the project and invest in the best craftsmanship you can find.
However, no two craftsmen are built the same. Even the best craftsmen have unique strengths and weaknesses.
