Meet the craftsman

OBX Home Solutions is a founder-led shop built on a simple idea: the details deserve someone who cares about them.

John G. Espinoza, founder of OBX Home Solutions, in his workshop on the Outer Banks

Thirty years of finish work, one set of hands

John G. Espinoza founded OBX Home Solutions to do finish work the way he always believed it should be done: personally, patiently, and to a standard he'd be proud to put his name on.

He started young, learning trim and cabinetry as an apprentice and spending three decades refining the craft on job sites of every size. When he settled on the Outer Banks, he saw homes that deserved better than rushed, crew-of-the-week finish work, so he built a shop around doing it right.

Today, John is still the one who measures your space, mills the stock, and sets the final piece of trim. When you hire OBX Home Solutions, you're hiring the craftsman, not a subcontractor you'll never meet.
