About VanderBeken Remodel

Ron started out as an educator following his graduation from Seattle Pacific University. He first entered the construction industry as a Project Manager in 1999. In 2007 he stepped out on his own and established VanderBeken Remodel. He specializes 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 children have attended.

Susanne Burns is an interior designer specializing in Kitchen and Bath remodeling. She moved to the United States in 1995 from Malmö, Sweden. After working as an independent designer for 4 years she was given the opportunity to join the largest residential remodeling company in Washington. Almost 14 years later she was one of their senior designer as well as their sales and marketing manager overseeing a staff of 12 senior and junior designers. As a senior designer she has designed and executed over 400 projects.

When ask what her favorite part of being an interior designer was she said, “Helping clients achieve their dreams. I see myself as their guide through the entire design process. My job is to make their experience as enjoyable and stress free as possible. I understand that colors and designs and envisioning their new space can be difficult at times. Explaining what they like or don’t like with words can be even harder. My job is to interpret their reactions and translate that into a space that will fit them and their family’s needs. My Scandinavian heritage has been a contributing factor in turning me into a functional designer.” Susanne has been with the VanderBeken Remodel team since 2021.

We have cultivated relationships with local specialty trade partners over many years of working together and they play a very important part of the VanderBeken Team. Even though they are independent contractors their loyalty and commitment to VanderBeken clients is unparalleled.
