     After a career as a Harris County Sheriff's Deputy, Jan Harris, President, switched fields to start a remodeling/construction business. Her husband, Roger Harris, serves as vice president of the company. Roger graduated from Rice University with a degree in business. Jan attended the University of Houston studying business management. Roger, because of his educational background and construction experience, has the distinction of being the first Certified Graduate Remodeler (CGR) in the Houston area and one of the first remodelers certified as a Master Builder. They are also one of only a few couples in Texas, as well as the nation to hold the CGR accreditation.
