Transforming Your Dreams into Reality.

 

Brillo Home Improvements Staff

Who We Are


Well, the best way to describe who we are is to tell you what we’ve been saying for quite some time now. We’re “three heads, all working our tails off for you.”
 
“Three heads” refer to us, the owners, here at Brillo Home Improvements. And the rest, well, it shows how dedicated we are to making sure that you walk away a satisfied Brillo client.
 
Brillo Home Improvements began in 1977, but little did we know, the friendships that were forged between the three of us, dating all the way back to the 3rd Grade, would lead to a perennial NARI-award winning home improvement firm.
 
Through the years we’ve accumulated our fair share of awards for our work on kitchens, baths, lower levels, additions, commercial remodeling…and the list continues to grow. We’re proud of that, because it shows that not only our clients are happy, but also that our work is respected by our peers.
 
Here at Brillo, we take a pretty down to earth approach to help you through every step of your particular home improvement project – from design to completion. And when you meet with us to get your project underway, you’re going to find that we do care, we want your job done right, and we want you to be so satisfied that you’re more than happy to tell others about your experience in working with us.
 
So when you’re ready, we’ll be here to help, to transform your home improvement dreams – into reality.
