Our Team
Hello, I’m Andy Metcalf, the founder of Birchmere Builders. I’ve been building since I was a kid—starting with small projects and developing a passion for craftsmanship that has guided my career. With over a decade of hands-on experience in construction, specializing in custom homes, fine woodworking, and renovations, I bring a wealth of expertise to our projects. After an extended venture into the tech industry as a business consultant, I’ve returned to what I’ve always loved—building. Our experienced team is committed to open communication, honesty, quality construction, and enduring customer satisfaction. Join us in our journey as we continue to grow and expand Birchmere Builders.
I began my journey in construction with a can-do attitude and a willingness to learn. Along the way, I’ve gained valuable skills and knowledge from experienced foremen, general contractors, and superintendents. Most recently, I’ve been involved in constructing homes from frame to finish, embracing the challenges and fast pace of the work while bringing my personal touch to each project. I particularly enjoy tackling tough projects that push me to grow and deliver great results. Outside of work, I love disc golfing with my dog Otis, camping, and skiing with my partner.
Levi is a skilled carpenter with a focus on remodeling and finish work. He enjoys working with high-quality woods like oak, walnut, and cedar to create thoughtful, problem-solving designs that enhance his clients’ lives. One of his most meaningful projects was building a deck with a wheelchair ramp for his grandmother, giving her the freedom to enjoy the outdoors. In his free time, Levi loves exploring nature—whether rafting rivers, hiking mountains, or navigating canyons—and sharing these experiences with his two-year-old son. Fun fact: Levi was named after a character in a James Michener novel.
Nate Tahair is a carpenter’s apprentice with a decade of hands-on experience in construction, starting at just 10 years old. Specializing in large joinery, framing, and running heavy equipment, Nate also brings three years of solar and electrical experience to the table. He enjoys working on frame-to-finish houses, decks, and porches, where he can apply his diverse skill set. One project he’s particularly proud of is designing a stunning mahogany deck with cedar accents and a modern stainless steel wire railing. Outside of work, Nate can often be found tinkering with cars, spending time at the beach, or camping. He also has a surprising knack for making money from video games.
