Rick Bartelt started working as a carpenter when he was 12 years old, learning the trade from his father on job sites during weekends, holidays and summer vacations. The passion for that work passed from father to son, and in 1984, Rick and his wife Chris started Bartelt Remodeling.

“It started off as a small operation,” says Amanda Coakley, Rick’s daughter who has been a member of the Bartelt team since 2012. “Over the past 38 years, Bartelt has grown into the premier high-end remodeling company that we are today.”

Bartelt primarily does residential remodeling but also builds custom homes. Rick and his team have developed long-lasting relationships with reliable industry partners who help to ensure that projects run smoothly and are always high-quality for their clients. The team’s design philosophy is timelessness, creating spaces that transcend passing fads and have staying power.

“The majority of the projects we do every year are for repeat and referral customers,” says Coakley. “We’ve worked with homeowners for decades, and they refer their children, their neighbors, their friends. I think that’s unique and is a testament to Bartelt’s ability to not only deliver quality craftsmanship but to also build a trusting relationship with our clients.”
