Built by Hand. Led by Brian. Every Single Job.
Shooltz Remodeling Advantage is a family-owned remodeling company serving Saginaw County, Genesee County, and the surrounding Mid-Michigan region — where Brian Shooltz personally builds every project from estimate to final walkthrough.
Two Decades of Work You Can Actually See
Brian Shooltz picked up his first tools professionally in 2003, working residential construction in Northern Illinois before establishing Shooltz Remodeling Advantage in Michigan in 2017. That's more than 20 years of hands-on carpentry — kitchens, bathrooms, home additions, decks, garages, pole barns, siding, roofing, and whole-home renovations — completed under his direct supervision and, more often than not, with his own hands doing the work.
He holds a Michigan residential builder license. Every completed project is documented by a professional photographer and videographer. The before-and-after portfolio isn't a highlight reel — it's a record.
The Owner Shows Up. Every Time.
When you hire Shooltz Remodeling Advantage, you're hiring Brian. Not a crew he assembled last spring. Not a project manager who relays messages between you and whoever's actually on site. Brian is the lead carpenter on every job — present from the first estimate conversation through the final walkthrough.
That distinction matters more than most homeowners realize until they've had the alternative experience. In a trade where subcontracting and crew turnover are standard operating procedure, having the owner physically on your project every day is not common. We've built our entire business around it.
Why We're Not the Cheapest — and Why That's the Point
We won't be the lowest bid you receive. We've made peace with that, and we want you to understand why.
Remodeling is a skill trade. The difference between a kitchen that looks right for two years and one that holds up for twenty is the person doing the work — their experience, their attention to detail, and whether they're personally accountable for the outcome. Brian is accountable in a way that a larger operation with rotating crews simply cannot replicate.
Our clients have said it plainly in their reviews: the quality gap is visible. The craftsmanship is worth the difference. We're not asking you to take that on faith — we're asking you to look at the portfolio and read what past clients have written.
If price is the only factor in your decision, we're probably not the right fit. If quality and knowing exactly who's going to show up every morning are what matter to you, we should talk.
A Family Business, Not a Ticket Number
Brian and Michelle Shooltz run this company together. That means client communication goes through people who are personally invested in how every project turns out — not a customer service queue, not an automated follow-up system.
The size of this operation is a feature, not a limitation. We don't have the capacity for the anonymity of a larger firm, and we don't want it. When you reach out, you're reaching the people who will actually build your project and stand behind it.
We serve homeowners across Birch Run, Saginaw, Frankenmuth, Flint, Grand Blanc, Fenton, and communities throughout Saginaw and Genesee counties. If you're planning a significant renovation and want to know exactly who's going to be in your home doing the work, that answer is straightforward: Brian is.
