About Remodeling Contractors

Rollie Clarkson founded his first remodeling company, RC Construction in 1985 after growing up with his family in the construction business. In the mid 90’s Rollie had an opportunity to expand RC Construction into the insurance and restoration industry. He purchased a franchised company called Remodeling Contractors and Cleaning Services (RCCS). This company grew quickly and earned a ‘Big 50‘ award as one of the top remodeling companies in the country. After successfully growing the franchise for a few years, Rollie felt the time was right to form and independent company. With the new enterprise came the need for a new name, one that was focused, that is when Remodeling Contractors was born.

About Fleming Construction

Fleming Construction was founded in 2001 by Zak Fleming with the vision to create a unique remodeling company that followed a set of core values that should be represented in the remodeling industry. This belief has evolved into the Theory of Remodeltivity which is the guiding principle of how the company operates today. In 2018 Marc Black became a partner in Fleming Construction after nearly 20 years in the remodeling industry. With a wish to expand the business, they set out to hire like-minded people to fill roles throughout the company. Discovering that many qualified candidates owned their own companies, Marc and Zak set their sights on other small business owners throughout the remodeling and design world and worked to create a company culture that could support their talents.

A Collection of Talents

Based on these core values, five individual companies teamed up under the Fleming Construction banner. The group is comprised of Imagine Interior Art and Design started in 1999 by Donna Alley, TechBuilders of Iowa LLC owned by Scott Spetman in 2014, Ridgeline Construction started by Brent Williams in 2012, and DB Building founded by Duane Berner in 2007. On May 1st, Fleming Construction and Remodeling Contractors will merge to create a team like no other! This means that we will ensure a collaborative, professional, efficient process with the integrity this company was founded on.
