Craig Evert
Owner “#TheCincyDeckGuy”
Since childhood, Craig has been around the skilled-trades. His father, who taught him the trade, dedicated his time to the home improvement industry. Following in his footsteps, Craig wanted to pursue a career where he too, could help turn clients’ dreams into reality. As an outdoor enthusiast in every way, he couldn’t see a more natural way to spend his time than to help others create and build the outdoor living space they have always dreamed of having. He has been a General Contractor since 2001 and in 2012, he made the decision to shift his main focus to the outdoor living space. Craig may be the owner, but he also helps design and build every new project. His hands-on technique is something he sees as a “crucial element” to building client relationships and ensuring customer satisfaction from start to finish.

Dennis Coffman

Dennis has a background in Sales as well as IT Process Improvement. He left the corporate world a few years ago and has now entered into the Outdoor Living sector.
Being an outdoor enthusiast himself, Dennis has been a tremendous asset not only to CMR, but our customers as well.

He is primarily responsible for implementing the vision and growth for CMR over the next 5-10 years.
You may see Dennis during your initial showroom appointment with us, or he may be behind the scenes working on new products and new vendor relationships. Dennis is the one who will help guide CMR through their growth strategies and implement new processes for the future.
Taylor Jamison
General Manager Production
Taylor has been around skilled construction, of all forms, his entire life. His father, who taught him the trade, is who he started working for at a young age. Together, they installed anything from decks, interior trim and doors, to kitchen cabinets. At an early age, he grew a passion in designing and building decks. He studied at The University of Cincinnati for architectural drafting and CAD. Taylor knew he wanted to do more than just build decks…he wanted to be able to help each customer from concept to build.
Taylor’s main focus is gathering all the initial customer information during our Site Inspections. He gets a feel for what the customer is looking to accomplish, takes all the measurements and brings that information back to our office team to put together the detailed proposal. His second, but most important task is meeting with the customers in our showroom and reviewing their proposal in detail. Since he is involved with each project early on, he has an in-depth knowledge of how each project needs to be completed.
Christian Collins
Project Manager
Christian has been living in the world of a “big-box” store for the past 12 years. Her professional background includes personnel management, logistics, corporate building packages, sales and much more. She was ready for a shift in her career and utilize her skills to helping a small business grow and be successful.
Her main focus is to keep the installation jobs running smoothly and staying in constant communication with the customers during their builds. She also orders product once a contract is signed, manages our 4 different crews and makes adjustments to the installation schedule (as product delivery permits). Now this is no easy task, given the difficulties we face in today’s economy, but what you can be assured of, is that she is the first person at CMR everyday working through these issues and fighting vendors, on behalf of our customers, to get their product(s) delivered in timely fashion. You can always count on her honesty and how she repeatdly goes to bat for our CMR customers.
We combine experience and hard work to be able to build your new living space the way you envisioned it and we truly enjoy what we do each and every day.
Working with our experienced designers and builders makes a world of difference in quality and execution.
We “Create Outdoor Living Lifestyles” and bring people outside again.
