How it Started

For the first part of my working life, I did hard labor—oil workover rigs, framing, concrete, HVAC, and commercial construction. I was out in the field every day, working with my hands. I liked the problem solving and the satisfaction of standing back at the end of the day and seeing something solid and useful that didn’t exist before.

​

Eventually the world convinced me I should want a “nice” desk job, and I gave it a try. I moved into corporate America, specifically tech sales. For more than a decade, I sat in offices and conference rooms sending emails and burning up phone lines. I learned how to communicate clearly, listen, and take care of clients. I picked up real-world skills—professionalism, organization, customer service, clear expectations, and follow-through. But I also realized something else: the corporate world wasn’t where I belonged. It was draining. I hated being stuck inside, behind a desk, watching everyone—including myself—slowly waste away in front of a computer screen.

​

I wanted to build again. I wanted to work with my hands, help people improve their homes, and create something real. So I started Allred Customs—a place where craftsmanship, communication, and customer service come together. This isn’t a backup plan; it’s the work I should have been doing all along.
 

My goal is simple: set a higher standard in residential work by pairing solid craftsmanship with the customer service and communication homeowners deserve. I get to work with my hands, help people improve the way they live, and build things that actually matter.

​

And I wouldn’t trade that for anything. But I also wouldn’t turn down a bag of gold and a remote cabin in the mountains.
