On this episode Buddy sits down with Alex Bailey of Alex B Carpentry, LLC a former office manager who walked away from the desk to build things that actually matter to people every day. Alex now specializes in human-centered custom carpentry — cabinetry, millwork, and retrofit solutions designed around how clients live in their homes, not just how rooms “should” look on paper. He brings a rare mix of craftsmanship, consulting, and problem-solving that general contractors and homeowners trust when the project requires precision, empathy, and zero do-overs. 

When Alex launched his business in 2020, he chose to put purple — the color for domestic-violence awareness — on his shirt and business card in honor of his friend Nikki, who defended herself from an abusive partner and was then aggressively prosecuted in what advocates call “criminalized survival.” She spent years jailed, denied fair evidence, and ultimately sentenced, while Alex and others showed up in court as a sea of purple to support her. After a long appeals fight under a new NY domestic-abuse sentencing law, she was finally released and is rebuilding her life. Alex keeps wearing purple as a form of ongoing awareness — not because he believes it fixes the issue, but because silence is worse, and visibility is at least a first step.

Top 5 Takeaways — Alex B Carpentry, LLC

Office-to-Trade Career Pivot with Purpose — Alex left white-collar management roles in his 20s to apprentice in carpentry, rediscovering hands-on work as a calling with long-term mastery and meaning.

Custom Built-Ins Focused on Human Use — He designs cabinetry and millwork around how people actually live — heights, reach, habits, family flow — not just how a space looks on Pinterest.

Consultative, Not Commodity — He doesn’t “sell cabinets,” he sells a thinking partner + execution — asking questions most contractors never ask so the result serves the client for decades.

Trusted Surgical Finisher for GCs — Beyond end-to-end custom work, he is the one-call problem solver GCs bring in to fix the unfinishable: invisible cook retrofits, pocket door conflicts, trim redo, etc.

Craft + Communication = Differentiator — He leverages a prior career in customer service and training to do what most tradespeople can’t — translate unclear visions into buildable reality.
