A third-generation carpenter and artisan, Bernie takes his commitment to quality and reliability to heart.  Bernie learned the trade from his father and older brothers in Ohio doing projects from framing houses to building sailboats.

Bernie moved to Washington in 1999 to be with his wife and enjoy the magnificent outdoors.  Bernie has provided remodeling and carpentry services in Thurston County since 2000 and offers fine craftsmanship at affordable prices. He is proud to be the owner and operator of Quality Renovation & Carpentry. 

Bernie is also certified by the Building Performance Institute to apply nationally recognized standards when conducting energy audits and weatherizing buildings and homes.

Jim Breitmun
carpenter

Jim’s first experiences with carpentry were in his early teens when he helped build two of his family’s homes. Jim went on to study woodworking, metal shop, welding, and CAD drafting in school.

Before moving to Olympia, Jim was a respected Emergency Medical Technician and Firefighter in his long-time home of Osceola, Wisconsin. Jim is a decorated former Medic of the U.S. Army.  He is putting his G.I. Bill benefits to good use by attending the Evergreen State College to study Sustainable Design and Veterans Advocacy.

When not swinging a hammer, Jim loves to go hiking and exploring with his wife, Molly and their puppy, Nugget.

Jim’s favorite part about working for Quality Renovation & Carpentry is the diversity of work: “Never a dull moment –there’s always something new to tackle.”

Jacqui helps Quality Renovation & Carpentry by keeping the web site up to date and undertaking other marketing projects.  As a supportive spouse to the company’s owner, Jacqui is a sounding board for project ideas and the general direction of the company.

The company’s mission and eco-friendly philosophy are inspired by Jacqui’s passion for environmental sustainability. Jacqui is an environmental and natural resources attorney who has worked for public sector clients since 1993.  So, of course, Jacqui also acts as in-house counsel to the company.
