Keeping things honest and simple.
(Even the tricky stuff.)
If your home needs improvement, you want someone you can trust to do it, especially if it's a tricky job. I'm happy to take on the most basic projects, but my real love and specialty is creative custom work—the kind you absolutely need a trained set of hands and eyes to execute. I have 19 years of experience as a tradesman, I'm painstakingly careful about the quality of my work (without taking forever to get it done), and I get excited about the jobs other carpenters shake their heads at.

About Us
We’re a small business, I grew up in Madison, and my wife and I own a home here, so I want to do right by our community. My reputation is as important to me as your house’s well-being is to you. If you need home-improvement work done skillfully, painlessly, and affordably, please feel free to call me and tell me about your project. I look forward to working with you.If you hire me, I will always:
- Show up when I say I will, prepared and ready to work
- Finish your job as quickly as I can—and not take on other jobs that will interfere with yours
- Work with you to determine a fair price, and save you money where I can, by planning carefully, not wasting materials, and even collaborating with you as a “sweat equity” partner on your job to reduce labor costs, if you’re so inclined
- Keep things honest and keep things simple
Whatever the size or complexity of your job, I’ll work with you before any cutting or hammering starts to be sure we’re on the same page, and use my knowledge to offer suggestions you might not have thought of. My goal is to facilitate your ideas—to make your vision come through.

We plan to use Blue Terra Designs for future projects and will recommend them to others." -Larissa, Blaire and WellsWe were very pleased with the work of Blue Terra Design.

"Paul built us a amazing screened in porch at a very reasonable price. His attention to detail goes beyond what I expected from a carpenter. He always informed and consulted with me during the project—which I appreciated tremendously—because I had a particular aesthetic I was after. I would highly recommend Paul to anyone!"

"I would like to share with you the WONDERFUL encounter we had with Paul Miner and his company. During Hurricane Ike our one story home took 5 1/2 ft and we had to gut the house all the way up to the ceiling! Mr. Miner came in and helped in anyway possible. He made suggestions for improvements to our home's value and visual appeal. Mr. Miner was always professional and worked well with the other contractors involved. He was always on time and on budget!"
