About Us
About Ben
Ben Rothrock's entrepreneurial journey began in his teens, selling firewood. By 18, he had purchased a sawmill and started selling lumber. Ever the opportunist, within a year Ben had begun building sheds as a strategy to sell more lumber. His newfound passion for carpentry led him to work for a remodeler for a few years. From his very first day remodeling, Ben fell in love with the challenge of transforming old, outdated homes into beautiful, functional living spaces.
Once he had acquired the necessary skills and knowledge, Ben decided to start his own remodeling company. His entrepreneurial experience, problem-solving skills, and enjoyment of integrating modern products into older homes made running a remodeling company a perfect fit for him. Ben completed a variety of home repairs, renovations, and remodels under his own company for ten years before he met Kelly.
It's hard to believe that Ben is now approaching twenty years of experience remodeling homes! To this day, nothing makes him happier than figuring out how to breathe new life into an old home. Well, nothing except entrepreneurship. He can talk about entrepreneurship for days, too!
About Kelly
Talking to her, you might never guess that Kelly Rothrock was born in Georgia. Well, unless she’s tired, or she’s been listening to country music, or...oh, never mind.
Kelly didn’t have any experience as a remodeler when she married Ben, but she had extensive experience doing humanitarian work. Before she met Ben, Kelly traveled all over the world helping people.
Kelly loves people, and she brings that love into everything she does! When she joined Ben in his remodeling company, she brought her experience in supporting others with compassion and understanding. Kelly discovered that remodeling is a perfect fit for her passion for helping others through challenging experiences.
You won’t find a more passionate advocate for transparency and clear communication than Kelly! Just like Ben, she loves transforming people’s homes and is insistent that her clients' needs are met every step of the way! "They deserve no less," she says!
We are also passionate about changing the remodeling industry. Homeowners deserve better than the remodeling horror stories we’ve all heard. We are committed to changing the reputation of our industry by offering homeowners the communication, thoughtfulness, and respect they deserve! Our mission is to transform houses into dream homes, creating spaces where families can gather or couples can relax after a long day, and to do it with compassion, respect, and thoughtfulness.
Equally important to us is bringing respect and dignity back to the trades. We believe that tradesmen have a huge impact on the health, safety, and happiness of the members of their communities. Tradesmen have the ability to change people’s lives for the better in a way that is no less impactful than benevolent professionals like doctors or first responders. We believe that tradesmen deserve to be respected and appreciated for all they do for their communities.
We also believe that general contractors, such as ourselves, are the first line in making this change. It is our mission to lead the charge in our community by giving tradesmen the respect they deserve, treating them as partners in the remodeling process, and giving them reason to be proud to work in the building trades!
Our Shared Vision
As you’ve gathered from reading this far, we have been remodeling homes together since we married, almost 8 years ago. We are both passionate about transforming our clients' lives by giving them beautiful, functional spaces to live their lives in the best way possible.
Over the years, we’ve discovered that bathroom and kitchen remodels are the perfect projects for us to shine. Bathrooms and kitchens are some of the most essential rooms in the home, and they tend to have the greatest impact on a person’s life. That’s why we love doing them! We love hearing stories about how a kitchen remodel renewed a young man’s passion for cooking and healthy eating, or how a bathroom remodel gave a woman the space she needed to relax and refuel from her busy life, or how a woman and her mother are now able to spend quality time together—all because of a remodeling project!
We are passionate about changing lives in this way!
Our Love for the New Hampshire Seacoast Region and Southern Maine
Did you know that we began our journey in Upstate New York? Ben was born and raised there, and Kelly spent a large part of her childhood there after her parents moved back from Georgia.
After honeymooning in the Granite State, we fell in love with New Hampshire. We love the state's beauty, with mountains and beaches all within an hour’s drive. And, let’s be real, New Hampshire is a much better place to live and run a small business than the Vampire State.
Exploring the seacoast region, we were captivated by its charm and the sense of community here. Each city offers something special: the historic ambiance of Portsmouth, the quaint beauty of Exeter, the coastal allure of Rye, and the picturesque landscapes of nearby Ogunquit and York, Maine.
In 2021, we finally decided to move to the beautiful New Hampshire seacoast and establish our business here. And we love it! We enjoy the vibrant communities and the scenic beauty of the seacoast. Exeter, Portsmouth, and Dover, NH, have become our favorite spots. Moving here was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made, and we feel privileged to call this area our home!
