The Concierge Team
Responsive and reliable
Each project is managed from start to finish by Teakwood Concierge. We do everything possible to make the process stress-free and enjoyable. Our Concierge team is comprised of full-time Teakwood employees, from our Concierge Services Coordinator—who answers inquiries, manages scheduling, and initiates invoicing—to the Project Manager and Lead Carpenters assigned to each home repair or maintenance project.
Aimée Cianfarani, Concierge Services Coordinator
Aimée has worn many hats at Teakwood: office manager, gatekeeper, client coordinator, sales tracker, social media director. Familiar with all aspects of the company and its clientele, she has naturally grown along with the Concierge Services side of the business. From drywall repair and window replacement to furniture assembly and assorted fixes, Concierge Services has been enhanced and expanded with Aimée’s active involvement. Her ability to coordinate and communicate has helped the company respond to the increased demand for small projects, white-glove home repairs and maintenance, and seasonal home care services.
Todd Owen, Project Manager
Todd was a Teakwood Builders Lead Carpenter for many years, prior to the establishment of the Concierge Services division. He’s been in the construction and renovation business since he was a teenager, when a neighborhood friend took him under his wing and taught him how to install drywall. Throughout his career, Todd has seen almost every home repair challenge imaginable. As an experienced problem-solver with plenty of tools in his toolbox, he is able to quickly diagnose situations and resolve any problems that arise in the course of a job.
Dave Cowin, Lead Carpenter
A native of Stillwater, Dave became a skilled framing carpenter working on stately Florida homes for 17 years. When he returned to New York with his family, he was drawn to Teakwood, impressed by the company’s ethic to get it right and its focus on customer service. Dave is integral to the success of Teakwood’s growing Concierge Services division. “What I think is special about Teakwood is the passion to do it right,” says Dave. “There are unforeseens in remodeling. When we encounter a roadblock, we take the time to make sure it is right. In the end, the clients are happy and appreciative.”
Peter Gray Loyola, Lead Carpenter
Born and raised in Saratoga Springs, Peter got a taste for problem-solving and working with his hands at age 16 when he purchased his first vehicle, a 1976 VW Bus. He rebuilt the engine, welded a wood stove, and crafted a kitchenette before taking “her” cross-country on several month-long excursions. His travels landed him in Northern Georgia, where he apprenticed as a carpenter. When he relocated back to Upstate NY, Peter further developed his skills in Schenectady on commercial construction projects. He eventually opted to find work closer to home, and with a company known for attention to detail, patient guidance, and exceptional craftsmanship.
Scott Ericson, Lead Carpenter
Scott was born and raised in the Catskills with a handy dad and grew up learning how to fix things. After backpacking through Europe for several months in his early 20s, he opted to settle down in the Saratoga area, a place he’s called home for most of the last 15+ years. Scott has enjoyed a diversity of work, with careers in graphic design, IT, retail, winemaking, and remodeling. The common thread throughout the years? He was always moonlighting as a handyman. Self-reflection led him to understand that he loves helping people in need and is happiest with a tangible product at day’s end that he built himself. With a love for solving problems and a broad skill set that encompasses all aspects of home repair, Scott was naturally drawn to Teakwood, and to working with and learning from top-notch professionals equally passionate about their craft.
