About Us

Hi, I’m Chris Barnes. I’m the owner and co-founder of Barnes Sklare Remodeling. I started working with my uncle Chuck and his remodeling company while I was in High School 25 years ago. We found we had a great time working together and shared the same likes, attitude, and goals.

After high school I helped my father and Chuck for many years with a successful telecommunication business. I left the company to pursue some callings and later reconnected with Chuck to create Barnes Sklare Remodeling with a super simple business model. That model has proven successful. It’s very simple. “Do the best darn job possible, treat our clients like people, care about what the clients want, enjoy what we do and treat the craftsman with the upmost care and respect possible.” You see, if your craftsmen are happy, they will do the best work. I did when I was treated right.

So… because of that, we pay them a respectful wage and treat them like family. They also have four day work weeks. Yes four days! They remodel Tuesday through Friday from 7am to 5 pm. They have three day weekends and they love it! How could you not love that? Most of our craftsmen are family men and that third day really gives them the time they need to be there for their families or just to relax. It’s important.

When your craftsmen feel important and cared about along with taking great pride in his or her work, he or she will do the best darn job possible. I want my clients to be super happy. It’s important. I want my clients to have the most beautiful kitchen, bathroom, basement, or custom wood working they deserve. Join us in making your dream remodel happen.
