John Todds’ Trades CV & Project Portfolio
About John Todds
I grew up in a construction family and entered the trades at a young age, building hands-on experience across residential, commercial and some heavy industrial work.
Over more than 35 years, that has included drywall finishing, rough and finish carpentry, tile, concrete, stonework, flooring of all types, full builds, renovations and restorations, custom work, and the opportunity to take part in some really cool artistic installations.
