Built to Last

A home’s architecture always tells a story, but it takes an experienced craftsman to preserve it. For Jason Dillon, remodeling isn't just about fresh drywall or a new coat of paint, it's about understanding the character of an older home and the people living inside it. That personal touch is what stood out to Chamber Ambassador Nikki when she hired Grinnell Remodeling to restore her home’s historical character. “It was a really personal interaction and it made such a difference in the overall appearance and, frankly, the quality of our life in our home,” she shared.

For Jason, working closely with clients to bring their vision to life is one of the most rewarding parts of the job. “Those are the projects I really look forward to. It’s important to play to the architecture of the house itself. I’ve been through enough projects to learn and pick up on those nuggets and design features, and you figure out the flow of the house together,” he expressed.

Grinnell Remodeling will celebrate twelve years this March. “We won’t build your house, but we’ll do everything else,” laughed Jason. “We can help with just about anything including siding, roofing, flooring, and more.”

They specialize in historical renovations,, kitchens, bathrooms, and decks, but they can do just about anything you need or can imagine. With decades of experience, Jason and his fully licensed and insured team handle everything from home updates to small-scale commercial projects.

You can feel the joy and pride Jason has for each of his projects whether he worked on them for three weeks or three months – each is handled with passion and genuine care. “I share with young home owners all the time, this is your home, you can’t just live in it today but you have to take care of it for the next owners as well – we must be good stewards of the homes we live in,” shared Jason.

The biggest change Jason has seen in over a decade of running his business is the use of homeowners using artificial intelligence to design their home projects. “AI really is used to create, design, and build upon a homeowner’s ideas. But it doesn’t change how a door fits,” laughed Jason.

“Its been a real joy to work in and with the Grinnell community,” Jason shared. “Doing right by the people who live here and living amongst your customers is what it’s all about.” To learn more about Grinnell Remodeling or discuss an upcoming project, reach out to them by phone at 641-325-1272 or by e-mail at grinnellremodel@gmail.com.
