Nathan McCracken

OWNER | LICENSED CONTRACTOR

I have always been a detail-minded person.

 

I enjoy thinking through large projects and breaking them down into simple steps. From drawing plans and creating design renderings to writing the scope of work and project timelines, bringing order to each remodeling project is gratifying.

 

Equally, I value proficient building and have avidly studied well-crafted methods. I am not only the contractor overseeing each project from beginning to end but I am also the main builder. I appreciate efficient timelines and require a clean, safe, and respectful work environment.

 

I want you to be able to relax through your remodeling, knowing that I will be communicating with you every step of the way.

 

Personally, I’m low-key and listen to podcasts or work on a NY Times puzzle with a tumbler of iced tea. I love spending time with my wife and our four children, and we enjoy playing basketball or pickleball or biking in our downtime together.

OWNER | ADMINISTRATION & DESIGN

I have been smitten by homes for as long as I can remember.

 

I grew up in the home-building industry, and my first job was cleaning new construction homes. From the exterior to the interior, I loved the anticipation of discovering the plan and design the homeowner had built. I would stand in each room, taking in each decision. Smitten.

 

Fast forward, and I am a partner in creating custom remodeling plans with my contractor husband. I still look forward to discovering each homeowner’s preferences and creating spaces.

 

I am equally enthusiastic about administration and digital creativity, which applies well to construction. Home remodeling has many moving parts, so developing an ordered process with step-driven resources for our clients was essential. My laptop is my most-used tool, and I have worked through many.

 

I’m a zealous learner and dark cappuccino drinker (the darker, the better). I enjoy podcasts on many topics and I play jazz music while I work, sometimes ending a long day with my 90's favorites. Nathan and our four children are the loves and joys of my life. And, I’m a coastal at heart who grew up a mid-westerner and planted in the beautiful mountains of Idaho.
