April Bettinger
OWNER AND FOUNDER
About April
For the past 25 years, April Bettinger has carved out for herself a respected niche in the construction industry. She grew up watching and learning about excellent customer service and integrity in building houses from her father. As a custom homebuilder in the 70’s and 80’s, he taught her key details to delivering a high-quality home to a customer.
Throughout her career in construction, she has worked with a vision and determination to create a remodeling company with extraordinary craftmanship AND a focus on professionalism. In 2010, her vision came to fruition on the heels of a recession; April began Nip Tuck Remodeling.
Holding key roles managing finance, budgeting, customer service, team building, and sales management, along with formal and certificate programs to hone skills of excellence, she made it happen.
She is driven to make a difference in the construction industry and leads her company with vision and purpose. This means that she is known to tell you like it is and approaches each and every person she meets with authenticity.
She has served on the Board of Directors of the Master Builders Association of King and Snohomish Counties. April holds the designations of Certified Graduate Associate, Certified Graduate Remodeler, and Certified Aging-In-Place Specialist through the NAHB.
She is also a member of many national organizations including the Women Presidents Organization, National Association of Home Builders, NKBA, Remodelers Advantage, and Master Builders Association of King and Snohomish counties.
When not in the office, you can find April enjoying the outdoors with her life partner, Baer and their two dogs, Mongo & Lucy.

Tyler Hart
Production Manager
About Tyler
Tyler is a born Pacific Northwesterner having worked and lived in King and Snohomish counties all of his life.
Tyler has nearly 20 years of residential framing and building in his experience. More impressively, he has continually moved into leadership roles to help teams work cohesively and produce results together.
Tyler’s early career was in carpentry and construction, but then he ventured into other areas of interest — but each job lured him back into building things, designing things to build, leading teams, and producing successful outcomes. He loves his family and sharing videos of his german shepards.
Allison Scott
LEAD INTERIOR DESIGNER
About Allison
Allison is always searching for new, innovative ideas and rarely makes it through designing a project without asking our construction team, “Can you build this?” For her, every client’s home, interests, and personality are unique, and she works endlessly to discover new and interesting options for you.
The only way she can do this is by getting to know you using her amazing active listening skills and considerate demeanor. The results yield functional, comfortable spaces that reflect the client’s needs, desires, and style.
She finds joy in creating beautiful, comfortable, and safe spaces for clients of all budgets, but our team wouldn’t be complete without her hilarious, quirky sense of humor that always leaves its mark on our work meetings and team building activities.
It’s no surprise that Allison has won countless awards locally and national for specific projects, has been recognized for her body of design work as the “Top 40 Under 40” in Pro Remodelers Magazine, and has sat on the board of the National Kitchen and Bath Association of King County.
Allison holds her bachelor’s degree from Cal State in Interior Design as well as taking countless continuing education courses. Fresh out of her own home remodeling project, she can provide first-hand knowledge of the experience, going through it with her husband and two Corgis.

Rachel Evans
Client Services Specialist
About Rachel
Rachel shows up everywhere with a notepad and a pen to make sure she takes meticulous notes about client schedules and needs. She answers the phone and loves getting to know clients and their projects, getting particularly excited when it is a project that fits, and she gets to witness the flow of the project.
She is enthusiastic about the people, the remodeling process, and supporting the team to bring a client’s dream to life.
We are lucky to have Rachel, who started working with us soon after her brother, Noah. The siblings don’t get to see each other too often at work, but when they do it’s easy to tell they’re related.
Growing up in Sammamish, Rachel has always been a big fan of Hydroplanes and is part of an Unlimited Hydroplane team during the summers. Aside from busy summers, she and her fiancé love to fish, play computer games, and hang out with their three cats.
