20 Years of Building, Leading, and Delivering Results. Now bringing that same standard to the Dominican Republic.

IKEA × TaskRabbit
IKEA's exclusive assembly partner is TaskRabbit — as a top-rated pro, I'm the person they send. Hundreds of builds completed to spec.
JJ's Premier Logistics
Commercial freight, loading, and multi-stop delivery at a professional level. Real supply chain experience.
Multi-Brand Assembly
Wayfair, West Elm, Ashley, Pottery Barn, gym equipment, outdoor sets — any brand, any complexity, every spec met.
Built to Grow Others
20 years across assembly, logistics, and operations. The next chapter is passing it on — building a professional workforce in the DR.

The Foundation

Started at Publix at 16 — humble beginnings, strong work ethic. Twenty years later: million-dollar projects, 60+ contractors, 18 store openings, and 2,000+ completed jobs across 10 states.

The Grind

Used platforms like TaskRabbit to build myself into an independent professional powerhouse — job by job, review by review. Every rating earned, every state covered, every client served moved me forward.

The Move

The Dominican Republic is calculated — culture, good people, and a new journey rooted in community and purpose. It feels like home. Going there to build something that lasts.

Starting September 2026, I'm actively building clients in the DR. Here's who I'm looking to connect with — reach out now, before the platform launches.

You shop at IKEA Santo Domingo, I build it.
🏠

Full setup — furniture, closets & mounting.

What I Do

The Craft

Every service backed by years of real experience — not theory, not guesswork. Hundreds of completed jobs across multiple states.

Closet Systems

My specialty. IKEA PAX, Closets by Design, Container Store, and custom solutions — from design consultation to final install.

Furniture & Equipment Assembly

Every brand, every complexity. IKEA, Wayfair, West Elm, and beyond — plus gym equipment, office furniture, and full apartment setups for Airbnbs.

Moving, Delivery & Logistics

RAM ProMaster 2500 cargo van. Local and long-distance moves, packing, unpacking, cargo delivery, and multi-stop logistics — start to finish.

TV Mounting & Installs

Flush, level mounts on any wall surface. Full cord management and concealment — no exposed cables, no compromise on the finish.

Disassembly & Repairs

Careful disassembly for moves, repairs, or reconfiguration. Appliances, safes, oversized furniture — the jobs others turn down, handled with the right tools and technique.

Full-Unit Setup

Complete apartment and home setup from empty to ready — furniture assembly, closets, mounting, and staging. Ideal for Airbnb owners, new residents, and property managers.

The Bigger Picture

From Professional
to Platform

Everything I've built is pointing toward one destination. The Dominican Republic doesn't have a professional home services marketplace. I'm going to build it.

The Foundation · 2006–2025
20 years across every level
Publix → Fresh Market → RNDC → Walmart → JJ's Premier Logistics. Every role built the foundation.
Right Now · Sep 2026 →
Entering the Dominican Republic market
Building my client base. Reaching IKEA Santo Domingo. Connecting with Airbnb operators and the expat community.
The Move · March 2027
Relocating to Santiago, DR
Landing with relationships already built. Operating on the ground. Building the network that powers what comes next.
The Launch · Mid-2027
BuiltBy goes live
The DR's first professional home services marketplace. Built on everything that came before it.

Coming 2027

BuiltBy

'Life is about building others — hence the name BuiltBy.'

The Dominican Republic's first professional services marketplace. Built from the ground up for the Dominican Republic — by someone who chose the country on purpose.

Don't see your specific need? Ask via WhatsApp — the answer is almost certainly yes.

Do you assemble IKEA furniture? +
Yes — IKEA is one of my specialties. I have direct experience working with IKEA and am fully familiar with their assembly standards and service pricing structure, including IKEA Santo Domingo. Hundreds of IKEA builds completed across closets, kitchens, beds, and full room setups. Whether you purchased in-store or had it delivered, I handle the rest.
How much do you charge? +
Every job is quoted based on scope — reach out and I'll give you a clear, itemised price before any work begins. The price I quote is the price you pay. No surprises, no changes once we agree. Transparency is non-negotiable for me — it's the foundation of how I work. I accept both USD and Dominican pesos to accommodate expats and locals. Rush fees apply for same-day or urgent turnarounds.
Do you offer a guarantee? +
100% satisfaction or your money back. If the job isn't done to your standard, I make it right — or you don't pay. That's not a policy I wrote for a website. It's how I've operated for 20 years. Over 1,000 verified reviews across TaskRabbit and Roadie back that up.
Where do you work in the Dominican Republic? +
Everywhere. Based in Santiago but I travel across the full country — Santo Domingo, Punta Cana, Puerto Plata, Samaná, La Romana, the North Coast, and beyond. Travel fees apply for jobs outside Santiago. Same-day and urgent requests are available anywhere with a rush fee. If you're wondering whether I'll come to you — I will.
Do you speak Spanish? +
Yes — fully bilingual in English and Spanish. Whether you're an expat more comfortable in English or a local client who prefers Spanish, we communicate however works best for you. BuiltBy is built for both communities.
Can I book you now, before you arrive in 2027? +
Absolutely — and I encourage it. I'm actively building my DR client list now. Send me a WhatsApp or email with your project, location, and timeline and I'll lock in your spot. For Airbnb owners and property managers planning a setup, getting on the calendar early means you're first in line when I land in March 2027.
Do you work with Airbnb owners and property managers? +
It's one of my primary focuses in the DR. Full apartment setup from empty to guest-ready — furniture assembly, closet systems, TV mounting, gym equipment, outdoor furniture, and anything else the property needs. I understand your reviews and occupancy rate depend on the quality of that first impression. The standard isn't just 'done' — it's done right.
What makes you different from a local handyman? +
I come from a structured platform where performance equals pay. On TaskRabbit and Roadie, if you underperform, you lose work. If you mess up, you're removed. I haven't just survived that system for years — I've consistently ranked at the top of it. Over 1,000 verified reviews, top-rated status, and a 20-year professional track record including direct experience working with IKEA are things a local handyman simply can't offer. You're not just hiring someone who shows up. You're hiring someone whose entire livelihood has been built on accountability, quality, and results you can verify.
What is BuiltBy? +
BuiltBy is a professional home services platform I'm launching in the Dominican Republic in mid-2027 — the first of its kind in the country. A marketplace where clients find vetted, reviewed professionals for assembly, moving, repairs, and more. Right now, I am BuiltBy. The platform launches when the foundation — clients, professionals, and trust — is built. That work starts now.

The Dominican Republic

It just feels like home.

I've visited twice — three weeks total. Somewhere between the people, the food, the beaches, and the deep sense of community in some of those neighborhoods, something clicked. I didn't go looking for a market. I found a place I wanted to be part of.

Why the DR

A country with everything — and a gap worth filling.

The Dominican Republic has a growing economy, a booming short-term rental market, a rising expat community, and an IKEA that opened to massive demand. What it doesn't have yet is a professional services ecosystem to match.

I saw that gap. But more than the business opportunity — I saw the people. Hard-working, skilled, proud. The same kind of people I've built relationships with my entire career.

I'm not coming to extract from the DR. I'm coming to build something with it. That's the difference. That's always been the difference.

🤝
The People
Warm, community-driven, proud of where they're from. Three weeks in and I'd already met people I want to build something lasting with.
🌴
The Quality of Life
The ease of life. The food, the beaches, the pace. A place where community still means something.
📈
The Timing
IKEA opened. Tourism is booming. Expats are arriving. The market is ready and no one has built the infrastructure yet.
🏗️
The First
From my research, there is no professional home services marketplace in the DR. BuiltBy will be the first.
