Words of the Wise

Hey, I’m Brandon Fillinger—owner of Reformation General Contracting. I want to give you a quick look into where I come from and what my company stands for.

Growing up, I was around construction constantly. My dad ran a roofing business, and from a young age, I was tagging along with him and my brother, helping however I could. I wasn’t swinging a hammer with him directly, but I spent plenty of time with his crews—hauling shingles, cleaning up job sites, doing whatever needed to be done. I got a firsthand look at the grind and what it takes to earn a client’s trust. That stuck with me.

In 2005, when Hurricane Katrina hit, my dad and I went down to Louisiana to help. That experience opened my eyes—not just to the scale of devastation, but to the real impact this work can have when it’s done with heart. I learned how to navigate insurance claims, how to talk to homeowners who were going through some of the hardest moments of their lives, and how to show up with integrity when people need it most. It was the start of me understanding that construction isn’t just about materials—it’s about people.

For a long time, roofing was my main focus. It’s where I started and built my reputation. But the truth is, I’ve always had a hand in remodeling and renovation. Design, layout, function—I’ve been involved in it all. Over the last couple of years, I made it official. Reformation now offers full-service remodeling—from the first sketches to the final build. Kitchens, bathrooms, basements, additions—if it’s part of a home, we’re doing it.

I take a lot of pride in the way we run things: clear communication, honest advice, and craftsmanship that actually lasts. Whether we’re fixing a roof or transforming an entire space, I bring the same mindset to every project—care about the details, respect the client, and stand behind the work.

Thanks for taking a moment to hear my story. I’m looking forward to what we can build together.
