Our Story
Working Hard for You
On April 11th, 1988, The Image Makers was just getting started. A lot has happened since then. We’ve made a lot of new friends, worked hard to meet customer expectations, and completed numerous projects. We look back and remember the projects we’ve worked on and the way we handled them. We have to say we are pleased with the outcome. We know there’s a lot we could be doing, but we want to stay with what we are good at.
If there happens to be something we cannot do, we are always glad to share a contact with you, knowing you will be in good hands. It’s not about the money, to us it’s more about taking pride in the finished product. You will always hear our opinion about any and all possibilities of the task at hand. We want you to understand what it will take to complete the project, whether it be a kitchen remodeling, a bathroom renovation, or a staircase and deck installation.
We have worked on Humanitarian Projects for people who need help. We are always ready to assist you should you have a question or are curious about what the next step will be.

Testimonials
Our happy customers talk about our remodeling and construction services:
“The deck looks beautiful! I’ve been admiring it this morning. Thank you for your expert craftsmanship. It’s amazing to watch you work as you carefully plan and execute every detail. I also appreciate the advice you gave me on which product to buy, etc. I know this deck will be around for a long time.
Thanks. I couldn’t be happier with my new deck.”
“Al and I would like to thank you for the excellent work you have done for us repairing walls, painting, and installing cabinets, wood trim and light fixtures/fans, among other things. We appreciate that you are professional, personable, skillful and knowledgeable. The people you work with are truly craftsmen. It’s wonderful to work with someone who knows how things should be done and the best products to use. We like that not only do you return telephone calls, but call with updates. Thanks, too, for coordinating the schedule with our plumber and vendor, keeping the work on track. We’re grateful that you took precautions to prevent damage and messes. You have gone beyond anything we expected during the remodeling project. You are a pleasure to work with and we will look forward to working with you in the future.”
“I just wanted to take a moment to say thanks for the awesome work you did on our bathroom. The time and effort you put forth was above and beyond our expectations. The new bathroom looks great and everybody that has seen it agrees. Almost as important as a great job done was the level of professionalism that you and your crew showed. You finished the job on time and within budget. I also appreciated how you made my wife feel more at ease by being somebody that talked ‘with’ her about the work that was being done as opposed to somebody that talked ‘at’ her. I will definitely recommend your company to anybody that is looking for a contractor and look forward to working with you again in the future.”
