About VanderBeken Remodel

Ron started out as an educator following his graduation from Seattle Pacific University. However, in 1999 Ron left the field of education for a full-time position as a Project Manager for Kvernmo Construction Inc. Since 2007 Ron has managed VanderBeken Remodel, specializing in working with and educating clients in the best way to make their homes an even better place to live. One of the ways Ron balances his work/life is by teaching a weekly art class at a small classical school in Marysville where his three children, Abigail, Aaron & Isaiah, attend.

After growing up in a construction family, it makes perfect sense to continue the tradition and work with Ron in running VanderBeken Remodel.

As a boy, Brandon wanted to be an astronaut, professional athlete, business owner and a father. Life has taught him that it’s not very easy to become an astronaut, the odds of becoming a professional athlete is slim to none, but the reward of being a father exceeds most everything.  His time in the military and as a Ranger School graduate taught Brandon how to push himself mentally and physically and further developed his strong work ethic.  Brandon got into the remodeling industry by starting out as an all-trade transition helper. He learned from a multi-million-dollar custom home builder and remodeler who took Brandon under his wing and taught him how to handle all aspects of construction and how to handle sub-contractors.  Brandon whole-heartedly believes that to be successful you must do 3 things: be honest, communicate well and always do the right thing. In his free time Brandon enjoys spending time with his family and doing outdoor activities like skydiving and motocross.  Brandon joined the VanderBeken Remodel team in 2019.
