Hi there! I’m Coleen Merk, and if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the idea of remodeling—too many choices, too many unknowns—I’m here to help! With over 40 years of hands-on experience, I’ve been through it all, from small upgrades to full home transformations. I’ve seen remodeling from both sides of the process—both as a client navigating the decisions and as an office manager in our construction company, handling the logistics. This unique perspective allows me to guide you with practical insight, making your remodeling journey smoother and more enjoyable.
Partnering with my husband, a seasoned general contractor, we have turned fixer-uppers into dream homes while navigating every challenge that comes with remodeling. I know firsthand how exciting and stressful the process can be, and my mission is to make it easier for you.
That’s why I created Your Remodeling Coach—to give homeowners practical tips, clear guidance, and the confidence to remodel successfully (without losing their sanity!).
