Our Story
Rollie Clarkson founded his first remodeling company, RC Construction in 1985 after growing up with his family in the construction business.
In the mid 90's Rollie had an opportunity to expand RC Construction into the insurance and restoration industry.
He purchased a franchised company called Remodeling Contractors and Cleaning Services (RCCS).
This company grew quickly as one of the top remodeling companies in the country.
After successfully growing the franchise for a few years, Rollie felt the time was right to form an independent company.

Our Team
Excellent customer service and completed on time and on budget!
We had a great experience with Remodeling Contractors for our entire first floor remodel at the end of 2020.
We were looking for a remodeling company that provided all the services we needed including up front design, management of all required activities, strong customer service.
After exploring several prospective partners for our first-floor remodel, we selected Remodeling Contractors because they felt like the best fit on several dimensions.

Bathroom Remodeling
When it comes to home improvements, bathroom remodeling projects are often found at the top of many wish lists, second only to kitchen remodels.
While it is typically one of the smallest rooms in the house it tends to be one of the biggest remodeling projects.
Obviously due to its many components and fixtures, not to mention the extra sealing, plumbing, and ventilation it requires.
This can mean anything from a few simple upgrades to the fixtures and walls to a whole room renovation with new cabinets, countertops, fresh flooring and a re-designed shower.

Basement Finishing & Remodeling
A basement finishing project can be a very overwhelming and complicated task.
Taking a space in your home that was once unused or only used for storage or shelter and turning it into a usable, and maybe even enjoyable, space can start out as a simple idea for a few walls and some carpet.
However, it can quickly turn into a large remodeling project that includes plans for a bar, maybe a couple of bedrooms, or even a media room.
Like any home remodeling project, the first thing you want to do when considering converting your basement into a more functioning area is to decide what types of activities you will be doing in the space.

Sunroom Additions
Do you ever wish you had just a little bit more space in your home?
Would it be nice to have another place to gather with family and friends?
Or a place for the kids to play without scattering the living room with toys?
Sunroom additions are a great way to remedy all of these needs while also adding beauty, space, and value to your home.
Sunrooms are perhaps one of the most cost-efficient remodeling or home addition projects.
They not only provide a functional and enjoyable space but they can be installed in much less time and for a fraction of the price of a typical room addition.

Aging in Place
Wanting to stay in our homes as we age is not a new concept but the phrase "Aging in Place" has started popping up within the past 20 years or so.
