Meet The Crew

Steve Greenberg

Owner

Steve’s construction experience began at age 12 when he helped his father add a family room to their house, and continued in high school with a summer job building tract houses. After graduating from the Rhode Island School of Design with a BFA in photography, Steve ran a commercial photography studio for 20 years, building his own sets and renovating his home in his spare time. He founded Steveworks in 2000 and incorporated Steveworks LLC in 2004. His experience encompasses everything from gut renovations and additions to custom cabinetry and built-ins.

Steve is a licensed Home Improvement Contractor, Construction Supervisor,  EPA certified Renovation Repair and Painting Contractor, and a NARI (National Association of The Remodeling Industry) member. He emphasizes sustainable practices in all his work, and continues to develop his professional education with numerous classes in energy efficient construction and participation in regional construction tradeshows and conferences.

Steve serves as a Scoutmaster of Boy Scout Troop 54 in Sharon, MA. He rides his bike annually in the 150-mile Multiple Sclerosis Cape Cod Getaway. He also enjoys hiking, camping and kayaking.

Asher  Greenberg

Production Manager and Lead Carpenter

Asher has been working in construction since 2004, starting alongside Steve on summer jobs. He managed his first project start-to-finish at age 17—designing and supervising construction of an exterior staircase for the Outward Bound program on Thompson Island in Boston Harbor—to earn the rank of Eagle Scout. He has experience in CAD (computer aided design), project management, rough and finish carpentry, and energy efficiency upgrades.

Asher holds a BS in Building and Construction Technology from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, where he was Marketing Coordinator and then President of the student chapter of the National Association of Home Builders. He is an avid hockey and lacrosse fan, and loves his truck and all things outdoors.

Matt Caplan

Carpenter

Matt has been with steveworks since 2009, gaining his carpentry “chops” one project at a time. Matt is an accomplished musician and a member of several bands, including Garlic & Moonshine, and his iTunes collection is the envy of the crew.  Matt is a graduate of Oberlin College.

Ari Greenberg

Carpenter

Ari has been working with his dad during weekends and school vacations since his early teens, giving up summer camp to make “the big bucks” pounding nails. Ari is now a mechanical engineering student at Princeton University, but he  continues to pitch in whenever he can. Check him out installing insulation, siding and trimming a pre-1900s farmhouse  in Steve’s JLC article. Ari is a fantastic cook, an avid bike rider, and enjoys driving and restoring cars.

Ollie

Site Supervisor and Director of Silliness

Ollie is a fawn boxer, and has been a member of steveworks since 2007.  His responsibilities include supervising crew lunches, searching the jobsite for shady spots, and sweeping up sawdust with his fur.  Although he may not seem like the most active member of the crew, rumor has it that Ollie is actually quite skilled with power tools, although he is not a huge fan of the shop-vac.

Ollie is great with children, and can visit the jobsite upon request.
