About christine
Riveting Owner and General Contractor
I was raised in the fields of Oklahoma and Arkansas, and I am no stranger to hard work and manual labor. I've always enjoyed being outside, working with my hands and building. My career started in non-profit zoos, where I learned "If you want it, you have to build it". That led me through a biology degree and eventually a first career in cancer, COVID and stroke research. Though clinical trials were an important part of my career, I never gave up building and realized that home remodeling is my passion.
Riveting began from the belief that home remodeling should not be a negative experience or challenge. Instead, it should be an organized and seamless design and build experience, that’s also exciting, fun, and rewarding. After owning my own homes and feeling the disappointment and frustration when things aren’t done correctly, I wanted to do better. I've learned from some of the best contractors in my 19 years of building and 12 as a contractor and have blended these concepts to create a business that delivers quality work, while also being courteous, clean and reliable.
Since launching Riveting Design and Build, I've collaborated with a team of wonderful professionals and amazing people. My team and I truly love to design and build and are by your side throughout the whole home remodeling process. It's important to me to gain your trust and I'm committed to delivering high quality work. With a fantastic blend of female and male sub-contractors, I feel we are stronger together. We all support one another and work towards the same goals as a team. Have you seen "Under the Tuscan Sun"? Yeah, we strive for that "family" feel and I think we come pretty close.
Continued growth has always been an important aspect of my professional career. I like to stay up to speed on current design trends, new and improved building materials and techniques, and local building code. Supporting continuing education is a great way to do this and ensures we deliver better services and use better products to get the most from your home remodeling project. With so many new products on the market, the choices can be overwhelming and it's important to know the good ones vs the bad and our local trade partnerships help guide us through material acquisitions and sustainable building practices.
That's enough about me! I'd like to hear about your project and see what Riveting can do for you!
