Paul Bond is a Kansas City native. He attended Winnatonka High School and has been in the remodeling and general contracting business since he was 17 years old where he first learned to frame a house. This knowledge enabled him to \u201cknow the bones of a house and how things are supposed to fit together.\u201d Asked how old he is now, Paul says he\u2019s 25. Paul may not be telling the truth about his age but every other subject he talks about reeks of honesty.<\/p>\n
A younger Paul learned how to do all of the skills he now oversees others do by observing and making notes in a book that became his \u2018how-to\u2019 book. At the time, the older construction workers would make fun of his book. If they could see the way, he goes about his work they wouldn\u2019t be laughing now. He can see what is wrong with the wiring or plumbing in a house. He knows exactly how a job needs to be accomplished- the right way.<\/p>\n
Two years later, at 19, Paul started his contracting company and ran that for 15 years. He spent the next chapter of his career overseeing 16 crew members for another contractor with high-end remodeling projects specializing in home additions and building custom homes from the ground up. He was doing that when the downturn in the economy came a few years back. The lack of available work robbed each one of what they loved to do. As fate would have it, it was part of his path to Artisan.<\/p>\n
