What type of clients do you prefer to work with?

We like working with clients who love their homes. We understand the investment they have in their home. Our clients trust us to work around family, pets, and valuable belongings and to do quality work with quality products. Your home is a sanctuary, a safe place, a place that you share with loved ones. You want someone who will listen to your needs, find the best solution, and explain the process, without taking advantage of you.

What type of projects do you do?

We have our roots in full service remodeling and are willing to do almost any project. We enjoy building challenging projects that require innovative design, complicated framing, and intricate finishing details, but we also appreciate being able to do solid quality work and everyday projects. But with that being said, the focus of our business is in three specific areas: Kitchen and Bathroom, Lower Level/Basements, and Water Intrusion Remediation.

Does it really make a difference which company I choose to remodel my home?

Yes! When remodeling your home, you are working with a company that is providing a service, not a product. This service is not only made up of design and construction, but it is also a relationship between you and the remodeler. Your project must be managed well. A poorly managed project will result in any number of problems as well as creating a stressed relationship with the people who are in your home everyday, for weeks. At Brinkman Russell, we give you quality design, quality construction, and quality management, with people you can trust. And, you will love your home even more.
