Clean Slate Builds was founded from a combination of longing for something new, and reverence and respect for the past.
I love focusing on restoration projects, not to erase the past, but to learn how things were made, display the beauty that was originally intended, and embrace the scars and wear from life.

– accent walls/spaces –

My name is Josh Harper, and I'm a Des Moines, Iowa transplant, originally from Woodridge, Illinois. I am a former Marine, a former bartender, and a former corporate lackey. I believe that black lives matter, that love is love, that science is real, that reproductive rights are human rights, that no human is illegal, and that kindness is everything. I am a husband to a remarkable woman, step-father to an amazing young man, and dog-dad to our wonderful golden doodle, Olive. I have made many poor choices in my life, and they still tell me they love me, so I must be doing something right.
