Building Houston’s Future, One Home at a Time
The Story Behind Olivo Remodeling’s Rise to Becoming One of Houston’s Premier Remodeling Companies
Some of Houston’s most successful companies don’t begin with a business plan—they begin with people who share a vision.
That is exactly how Olivo Remodeling, LLC was born.
More than twelve years ago, Franco Olivo and Judyth Joines first crossed paths while working together at another remodeling company in Houston. Both quickly recognized that they shared the same philosophy: homeowners deserved better. Remodeling projects should be organized, professionally managed, transparently priced, and built with exceptional craftsmanship from start to finish.
After years of working together and gaining invaluable experience on projects throughout the Greater Houston area, they made a decision that would ultimately shape the future of hundreds of Houston families.
They founded Olivo Remodeling.
Today, that decision has grown into one of Houston’s most respected full-service remodeling companies.
More Than a Contractor
Many remodeling companies specialize in one particular trade.
Olivo Remodeling chose a different path.
From its beginning, the company was designed to operate as a true design-build remodeling firm, bringing virtually every major component of a remodeling project under one roof.
Instead of sending homeowners from architect to engineer, then to cabinet makers, painters, electricians, plumbers, and multiple subcontractors, Olivo Remodeling coordinates every phase of the project through one experienced team.
The result is a smoother remodeling experience, greater accountability, fewer delays, and significantly better communication throughout construction.
It’s an approach that has become one of the company’s greatest competitive advantages.
A Complete Remodeling Experience
Today, Olivo Remodeling has evolved into a company capable of managing virtually every aspect of residential construction.
Their services include:
Luxury kitchen remodels
Spa-inspired bathroom renovations
Whole-home remodels
Second-story additions
Garage apartments
Attic conversions
Home additions
Custom new home construction
Roofing
Siding
Interior and exterior painting
Custom cabinetry
Flooring
Plumbing
Electrical
Structural renovations
Because these services are coordinated in-house, homeowners benefit from a streamlined process that minimizes scheduling conflicts and keeps projects moving efficiently.
For clients, that means one company, one vision, and one team working toward a common goal.
The Difference Is in the Details
Every remodeling company promises quality.
Olivo Remodeling believes quality begins long before construction starts.
Each successful project begins with thoughtful planning, detailed architectural drawings, structural engineering when required, realistic budgeting, and open communication with homeowners.
Rather than simply remodeling houses, the team focuses on improving how families live inside their homes.
Whether it’s creating a gourmet kitchen designed for entertaining, building an expansive second-story addition for a growing family, or transforming an unused garage into a beautiful apartment or home office, every project is approached with the same commitment to craftsmanship and functionality.
Built on Relationships
Ask Franco Olivo what has fueled the company’s growth, and the answer isn’t complicated.
Relationships.
The majority of Olivo Remodeling’s business comes from referrals, repeat customers, and homeowners who have experienced firsthand what professional project management and quality workmanship can accomplish.
That trust has become the company’s most valuable asset.
It has also earned Olivo Remodeling an outstanding reputation throughout the Houston remodeling industry.
Recognized for Excellence
As Olivo Remodeling has continued to grow, industry recognition has followed.
The company proudly maintains an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau, reflecting its commitment to ethical business practices and exceptional customer service.
Olivo Remodeling has also earned the Better Business Bureau Award of Excellence in consecutive years—a distinction awarded to companies that consistently demonstrate integrity, customer satisfaction, and operational excellence.
Looking ahead, the company is honored to be among those in consideration for the 2026 Better Business Bureau Pinnacle Award, one of the organization’s highest recognitions for sustained excellence and marketplace ethics.
While awards are appreciated, the leadership team believes the greatest recognition comes from homeowners who proudly recommend Olivo Remodeling to family, friends, and neighbors.
Looking Toward the Future
Houston continues to grow, and so do the expectations of homeowners.
Families today are looking for homes that are more functional, more energy efficient, and uniquely tailored to their lifestyles. Rather than leaving neighborhoods they love, many are choosing to invest in the homes they already own through major renovations and thoughtfully designed additions.
Olivo Remodeling is helping lead that movement.
With every completed kitchen, every beautifully designed bathroom, every custom second-story addition, and every luxury home renovation, the company continues fulfilling the vision that first brought Franco Olivo and Judyth Joines together more than a decade ago.
A vision built on craftsmanship.
A reputation built on integrity.
And a company built to help Houston homeowners transform the houses they own into the homes they’ve always imagined.
About Olivo Remodeling
With more than 25 years of industry experience, Olivo Remodeling, LLC is a premier full-service general contractor serving the Greater Houston area.

This comprehensive approach allows Olivo Remodeling to deliver exceptional craftsmanship, efficient project execution, and outstanding customer satisfaction on projects of every size.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
Every successful company has defining moments that shape its future. For many businesses in the construction industry, the COVID-19 pandemic represented one of the greatest challenges in modern history. Supply chain disruptions, material shortages, labor uncertainty, and government shutdowns forced many contractors to slow down—or close their doors entirely.
For Olivo Remodeling, however, the story was remarkably different.
While the industry faced unprecedented obstacles, Olivo Remodeling remained committed to its clients and continued delivering exceptional remodeling projects throughout the Houston area. Through careful planning, strong leadership, and an unwavering dedication to customer service, the company successfully navigated one of the most challenging periods in recent history while continuing to transform homes for families across the city.
Rather than simply enduring difficult circumstances, Olivo Remodeling continued to grow. Homeowners recognized the value of working with a company capable of managing every phase of a remodeling project under one roof—from architectural drawings and structural engineering to custom cabinetry, electrical, plumbing, painting, and final finishes. This integrated approach allowed projects to move forward efficiently while maintaining the high standards of craftsmanship the company had become known for.
Today, that same momentum continues.
As Houston’s demand for luxury remodeling, second-story additions, whole-home renovations, and custom living spaces continues to increase, Olivo Remodeling is expanding its capabilities to meet the needs of an ever-growing client base. The company has earned a reputation for taking on complex projects that many contractors simply are not equipped to manage.
Looking toward the future, Olivo Remodeling has its sights set on an exciting new chapter: custom home construction. Building on years of experience creating extraordinary remodeling projects, the company plans to offer Houston families the opportunity to build their dream homes from the ground up—homes designed around each family’s unique vision, lifestyle, and future.
For Franco Olivo and the entire Olivo Remodeling team, the mission remains unchanged: deliver exceptional craftsmanship, provide an unmatched customer experience, and continue raising the standard for residential construction in Houston.
Growth has never been the ultimate goal.
Excellence is.
And as Olivo Remodeling continues to expand into new builds and larger-scale residential projects, the company remains committed to exceeding expectations, embracing innovation, and helping Houston homeowners create extraordinary places to live for generations to come.
