Homeowners considering a remodel or addition want to be assured of a high quality finished product while remaining within their budget. For over 25 years Mark Nelson, owner of Renaissance Remodelers has been helping homeowners to achieve both these goals. Additionally, Mark uses green building practices for improved energy efficiency, indoor air quality, and longevity of the finished product.

Quality Workmanship and Individualized Attention

Mark has been remodeling Marin County homes since 1982. By keeping his company small he is able to provide high quality workmanship and individualized attention to clients. When asked what he liked best about their service, a client named Brian responded to a research call saying, "Mark is very responsive and sensitive to the client's needs and tastes."

A customer named Libby said, "They were on-time everyday, kept the jobsite clean and did quality work. They were easy to get along with." Another customer named Robert said he most appreciated, "Their precision and attention to detail."

"Remodeling requires a different expertise than new construction," says Mark. "I am skilled at tying together the old and new and making it work functionally and aesthetically. I am also good at finding graceful solutions to the unexpected glitches that come up during the remodeling process. This includes resolving design flaws before they get built."

Customers say Mark is good at seeing the overall picture. Homeowner Dave said during a research phone call, "Mark alerted me when there were potential changes to the plan, and kept me informed as the job progressed."

Environmentally Responsible Construction

Renaissance Remodelers uses green building practices in every project. "They make sense for both homeowners and builders," he says. "There are many things I can do to improve indoor air quality and make homes more energy efficient, often adding little or no cost to the project."

Renaissance Remodelers also uses sustainably grown and harvested lumber (FSC). "A secondary benefit is that FSC lumber is dry so that we avoid the downside of green lumber use- settling, mold, drywall cracks and drywall nail pops."

Renaissance Remodelers strives to make the remodeling process as painless as possible. Completing every project on time, staying on budget, and keeping clients informed are the highest priorities. "Our integrity, professionalism and environment-friendly building practices will let you breath easier…both literally and figuratively.”
