History

Criner Remodeling was founded by Robert Criner in 1977. Robert began his remodeling career in 1972 while still in high school as a helper for a small, local general contractor. He later moved to a more professional and established firm as a foreman. At the age of 21, Robert decided to go into business for himself and he founded Criner Construction Company. He began his business as a one-man operation, soliciting business in the evening and completing the jobs during the day.

With experience, he hired a couple of part-time people and trained them. In 1985 he incorporated the company which became Criner Remodeling. Over time the company has grown to 14 full-time employees who successfully focus exclusively on residential remodeling.
