Keefer and Dorian Rader, owners of Outlaw Mechanical, refer to their firm as “The Boiler Experts,” but they could easily change their motto to “The Home Improvement Experts.” After all, they’re licensed mechanical contractors as well as licensed general contractors.
Outlaw Mechanical has served the greater Albuquerque, New Mexico, area for 12 years. The Raders purchased their home four years ago, in the rural mountainside suburb of Cedar Crest. It was a 2,200-square-foot ranch with three bedrooms on 2.5 acres. Built in 1963, it had barely been improved since, aesthetically or otherwise.
