In Brandon's words

I’ve always known I wanted to work for myself.

How the business started

Brandon built the company one service and one job at a time, learning pricing, crews and customers along the way.

  1. Right out of high school

    One man, a power washer

    Brandon always knew he wanted to work for himself. Instead of the usual route after graduation, he started his own business with power washing: simple jobs that taught him how to deal with customers and run a job from start to finish.

  2. About two years in

    Flooring, and the business takes off

    He added services one at a time as the work called for them. Flooring was the turning point, and from there the jobs kept getting bigger.

  3. Growing the trade list

    Drywall, trim, then full remodels

    Customers wanted one company for the whole job, so the crew took on drywall and trim, and eventually complete kitchen, bathroom and whole-home remodels.

  4. The big shift

    Working with real estate investors

    Investor work moved the company from small jobs to large-scale projects and full property rehabs. It forced fast growth: real numbers for pricing, better systems and crews that could handle more at once.

  5. A new name

    Martens Home Remodeling

    Along the way Brandon restructured and rebranded the business around what it does best today: full residential remodeling, start to finish.

Where the company is today

Brandon is in his mid-twenties and runs a full-service remodeling company across St. Charles, St. Charles County, St. Louis and St. Louis County. It is a one-stop shop: one team for the whole renovation.

  • One team, every phase

    Instead of juggling several contractors, you work with one crew that manages the whole project, with clear communication from start to finish.

  • Built for investors

    Straightforward pricing, crews that scale, and the capacity for full property rehabs, rent-ready turnovers and interior and exterior upgrades.

  • The same care for homeowners

    Families updating the house they live in get the same attention to detail and the same clean, built-to-last workmanship.

  • Known for showing up

    In a trade known for delays and missed calls, the company is built on consistency, transparency and following through on what was promised. That record shows in its BBB A+ rating.

The goal

High-quality work, a simpler renovation experience, and long-term relationships with every client.
