How It All Started

Barrett Home Renovations is a family operated business. Our family has been renovating and creating beautiful spaces for homeowners across central Ohio since 2018.  Building and design professions have been our family legacy from early heritage in the United Kingdom and Scandinavia (hence the coat of arms in our logo). 

 

Each member of the Barrett Home Renovations team has proven professional skills to complete projects to exceptional outcomes, and has a commitment to a high standard of design and construction, from expertise in building and design to reconstruction and installation—our focus is on quality and we attend to the details in order to achieve this outcome.

 

From Columbus’s oldest neighborhoods to its modern high-rise condominiums, from its homes in the suburbs to country farms Barrett Home Renovations serves a diverse customer base.

MEET THE BARRETTS

General Manager

Wayne

As GM of Barrett Home Renovations, Wayne provides direction to the company in sales contracts, follow-through with customers, and quality control to make sure every homeowner is satisfied. With a dual background in finance, general management, and sales; as well as construction and manufacturing, Wayne delivers the know-how and care for customers. His original goal was to help Seth startup his business, but after working together he realized this is more than building a business--it's about building stronger relationships, and meeting the demands of a growing community. During his free time, he enjoys traveling with spouse and bff, Lauren, watching the Blue Jackets, and hanging out with friends, family, and cats, Winnie and Pantouf. Breaking news. Beginning January 2024, Wayne started a wholesale business called Wood + Stone to operate in tandem with BHR services, and accommodate the demand for fine, well built, kitchen and bath cabinetry for fellow renovators.

Owner and General Contractor

Seth

Seth is dedicated to bringing the best remodeling process, quality material, and design to every project. From a young age Seth caught the renovation bug when tagging along with dad, Wayne, to big box home improvement stores where he glimpsed the process of remodeling and the multitude of tools for every job! Seth credits his ambition to his athletic career, and years of discipline and training as a midfielder/striker on teams in England, Germany and the Netherlands; places he also picked up design ideas and inspiration. After returning to the states, Seth pursued an advanced education in construction management and interior design, and apprenticed under two reputable home decor and remodel businesses. He then established Barrett Home Renovations with the goal of bringing family, creativity, and community together. The business has since grown, and Seth moved BHR to a new location in Plain City. Seth has also expanded his personal domain, and became a first-time home owner of an American Foursquare home. Its restoration is near completion and we can’t wait to see the results on social media!

Creative Director and Designer

Julia

Meet Julia, a seasoned Creative Director with an innate ability to bring visions to life through compelling storytelling and innovative design. With a career spanning over 10 years, Julia has become synonymous with pushing creative boundaries and delivering unforgettable experiences. At OSU she double majored in French and Fine Arts. Using both of these skills, she has traveled around North America and Europe creating artwork and projects for a long list of clients such as Walt Disney Studios, and showing work both nationally and internationally such as at La Halle Des Artistes à Rouen. We are very lucky to have her on our team as she proves time and time again that creativity is at the forefront of innovation.

Operations Manager

Lauren

Lauren puts the OHM in OM. That’s why we fondly refer to her as Master Operations Manager or, heh em, mom for short. With over 20 years experience in operations management including establishing her own financial services company, and recently in finance and supply chain at The Ohio State University, she’s got lots to say about process, procedure and people skills. In the field, we refer to her role as back office management but it’s really her job to keep the things organized, and keep everyone engaged. She’s always asking, can we build a better system, a better spreadsheet, a better dialog. Incorrigible optimist, really! Design Trend Alert. Like everyone in BHR, she’s obsessed with home renovation, and her latest design project finds her restoring a brick fireplace, revealing its floor to ceiling beauty once behind a wall since 1890. You can see her project here.
