April Bettinger
OWNER AND VISIONARY
About April
April Bettinger has spent her entire career in construction — nearly three decades in residential remodeling — building something she’s genuinely proud of: a company known for design excellence, craftsmanship, and a client experience that’s anything but typical.
Her roots run personal. Her father was a custom homebuilder in the 70s and 80s, and watching him taught her early that the best work in this industry lives at the intersection of craft and integrity. In 2010, on the heels of a recession, she turned that belief into Nip Tuck Remodeling, a company built with professionalism and purpose at its core.
What sets April apart is how she shows up for clients. She has a gift for translating the technical into the understandable, grounding design conversations in honest, practical reality. Clients get a beautiful outcome and someone in their corner who will tell them the truth and advocate for them every step of the way.
That commitment extends well beyond her own projects. April has spoken at national conferences for Remodelers Advantage and the Women in Residential Construction conference, and was a featured guest on Tim Faller’s platform. She holds designations as a Certified Graduate Remodeler, Certified Graduate Associate, and Certified Aging-In-Place Specialist through the NAHB, has served on the Board of the Master Builders Association of King and Snohomish Counties, and is a member of the Women Presidents Organization, NKBA, and Remodelers Advantage. This summer, she’ll add published author to that list — her book, Happiness Guaranteed, releases in 2026.
When she’s not leading her team, April is usually planning the next adventure with her life partner Baer and their dogs Mongo and Lucy, split between the Pacific Northwest and Arizona. Venice and Greece are already checked off; Egypt is next.
Tyler Hart
Director of
Production
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
Director of
Design
About Allison
Allison Scott has been pushing the boundaries of residential design since joining Nip Tuck Remodeling in 2017, and in 2026, she stepped into her next chapter as Director of Design. It’s a role she’s earned, project by project, client by client, and more than a few “can you build this?” conversations with the construction team.
That curiosity is her signature. Allison rarely makes it through a project without dreaming up something unexpected, and she wouldn’t have it any other way. For her, every home is a reflection of the people who live in it — unique, layered, and worth the extra effort to get right. She approaches each project with the active listening skills and considerate demeanor that consistently turn complex wishes into spaces that are beautiful, functional, and deeply personal.
Her background runs deep. Allison holds a Bachelor of Arts in Interior Design from California State University and her CKBD certification through the NKBA, where she has also served on the Board. Since joining Nip Tuck, she has become an award-winning designer with recognition that spans both local and national stages, including being named to Pro Remodeler Magazine’s coveted Top 40 Under 40 in 2022.
Outside the studio, Allison is a devoted mom to her daughter, a loving wife, a willing servant to two Corgis, and someone whose hilarious, quirky sense of humor has left a permanent mark on every team meeting she’s ever walked into. She brings that same warmth and wit to every client relationship, which might be the best explanation for why her clients keep coming back.
Hilary Foerster
Interior
Designer
About Hillary
Some people find their way to design through school. Hillary Foerster was born into it. The daughter of a Frank Lloyd Wright-trained architect, she grew up immersed in conversations about function, symmetry, and light, developing a natural design sensibility long before it became her career.
That foundation, combined with a decade of running her own interior design firm, shaped an eye for space and style that is genuinely difficult to teach. Her deep expertise in custom furniture and fabrics brings an elevated, personalized dimension to our design offerings — the kind of finish that sits at the heart of our Uniquely Yours philosophy.
Hillary’s approach is as warm as it is talented. Clients consistently experience her bubbly, collaborative spirit alongside a refined aesthetic sensibility — a combination that makes the design process feel both inspired and effortless. She has an exceptional eye for decor, a passion for custom detail, and a genuine gift for translating a client’s personality into spaces that feel beautifully, unmistakably theirs.
Originally from Arizona, Hillary relocated to the Pacific Northwest with her husband and two children, and she will tell you the PNW was always meant to be home. Her children are now in middle school, which means she brings both creative ambition and hard-won perspective to the families she works with every day.
Briana Benton
Interior
Designer
About Briana
Briana brings a deep foundation in design to the Nip Tuck Interiors team, grounded in a Fine Arts education from Arizona State University, an FIDER-accredited AAS in Interior Design, and a post-graduate certificate in Design Firm Leadership from the University of Washington.
As a certified NKBA professional, her expertise spans cabinetry, flooring, tile, space planning, and custom window treatments.
Her career spans more than two decades in residential design, from Design Consultant to running her own full-service firm, giving her a rare ability to understand not just how a space should look, but how it gets built. What drives her most is the transformation: watching a space that was once outdated or poorly planned become something beautiful and deeply functional for the people who live in it.
Outside of work, she stays grounded through yoga and Pilates, travels whenever possible — Andalusia, Spain is a recent favorite, and Angkor Wat is on the horizon — and occasionally builds and designs miniature dollhouses. She was a competitive distance swimmer in high school, has a love of documentaries, and counts Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse among the books that have shaped how she thinks.
Rachel Evans
Client Services
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.
Shannon Carver
ESTIMATOR
About Shannon
Shannon Carver brings a background as diverse as it is deep, spanning real estate development, project management, and even a stint as a certified sommelier – and somehow, all of it led her exactly where she belongs: making sure every number on every project is precise, defensible, and built to serve the client.
As Nip Tuck’s resident estimating expert, Shannon works closely with our trade partners to understand materials, processes, and the real cost of bringing a remodeling vision to life. She’s the kind of detail-oriented professional who loses sleep over a line item that doesn’t add up, which is exactly what you want protecting your budget. While most clients may only cross paths with Shannon once or twice, she quietly follows every project through to completion, genuinely invested in seeing it land on time and on budget.
Her background in large-scale real estate development and construction project management means she brings a breadth of perspective to every estimate she builds at Nip Tuck.
Outside of work, Shannon is happiest outdoors. You’re as likely to find her in her camper van exploring the Pacific Northwest as you are at her desk. She has a deep soft spot for animals of all kinds, and the neighborhood cats next door have her firmly wrapped around their collective paw.
Brian Schiff
Project Manager
About Brian
Brian is passionate about creating, problem solving, and building. Starting out as a framer for custom homes in Southern California, he’s gone on to wear many different hats, including running his own business for over 15 years before joining our team.
His experience puts him at the top of our problem-solving team, both leading and supporting our on-site teams. He loves working with clients and is a valuable team member all the way around.
Even with a busy schedule, he is most likely to be thoughtful to his support team by bringing treats to the office or to the team on a job site to show appreciation for their hard work.
His free time is spent with his wife and two sons, volunteering throughout the community, as well as racing motorcycles and restoring classic cars.
Brian holds a degree in Philosophy from the University of Pittsburgh and soon after completed his law degree (JD).
Brian enjoys time with his family, being active in church, and volunteering in his community. He also loves motorcycle racing and restoring classic cars.
Karl Beavers
PROJECT MANAGER
About Karl
What Karl loves most about his work is seeing the physical change of a home match the emotional relief for the people who live there. Transforming spaces means solving problems, improving flow, and creating rooms where everyday life feels easier and more enjoyable for clients.
Outside of work, Karl is happiest in the garden or spending time with grandchildren. People are often surprised to learn that Karl enjoys making jams and jellies and loves turning wood on a lathe.
Karl’s first job was on a field crew for a civil engineer, an experience that sparked a lasting appreciation for how strong, well-planned structures come together.
One of Karl’s favorite books is The Great Bridge by David McCullough, a book that highlights the vision, complexity, and persistence behind great engineering projects, values that resonate deeply in the remodeling world.
Hernan
Jimenez
Lead Carpenter
About Hernan
Hernan Jimenez brings more than two decades of hands-on carpentry experience to the Nip Tuck team, and it shows in every project he touches. A specialist in finish carpentry, cabinet making, and custom installations, Hernan approaches every scope of work with the same philosophy: exceed expectations and leave every space better than he found it.
His background spans the full range of the craft, from intricate millwork and crown molding to full-scale remodels, countertop fabrication, and custom cabinetry. As Lead Carpenter, he brings not only exceptional technical skill but a genuine creativity that rises to meet the most challenging projects. Precision is his standard, and craftsmanship is his signature.
What makes Hernan especially valuable at Nip Tuck is the joy he takes in passing that craft on. He is a natural mentor to our younger carpenters — patient, generous with his knowledge, and deeply invested in seeing the next generation of craftspeople grow. It’s the kind of leadership that doesn’t just build great projects; it builds great teams.
Born and raised in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Hernan now proudly calls the Pacific Northwest home.
Noah
Alcala
Carpenter
About Noah
Noah Alcala joined the Nip Tuck team in 2022 as an apprentice and has grown steadily into his role as a carpenter — and he’s just getting started. What stands out about Noah isn’t just the skills he’s building, but the way he approaches the work: with a natural meticulousness and a genuine hunger to learn that you simply can’t teach. His sights are set on Master Carpenter, and everyone on the team is rooting for him.
Clients notice it too. Noah has a warmth and ease about him that makes any jobsite feel welcoming. He’s always up for a conversation, and the care he brings to his craft shows in every detail. At Nip Tuck, we believe great craftspeople are made over time, and Noah is doing exactly that work.
Outside of the jobsite, Noah is most at home in the outdoors — mountain biking, snowboarding, fishing, and spending time with his dog keep him busy when the tools are put away. He lives in Snohomish and fits right in with the Pacific Northwest he’s clearly made his own.
Austin
Tarantino
Carpenter
About Austin
Austin has been a carpenter for 16 years. He got into construction because he grew up watching my dad build, and he discovered a love for it. He grew up in Bothell and has been a Washington resident his whole life.
Outside of work, he enjoys fishing and playing disc golf with his son.
Jesse
Castillo
Service & Warranty Manager
About Jesse
Jesse is a staple on every Nip Tuck project from the first day to the final clean up. With 30 years’ experience in dock management, he has a wealth of knowledge and amazing set of problem-solving skills. He manages the quality control process for inventory and works closely with our trade partners to ensure they are informed about updated project schedules.
Jesse is a huge part of why we have loyal clients that continue to support our business with new projects or referring their friends.
Jesse and his wife moved to Washington state in 2017. In his free time, you’ll find him updating his home, spending time with family & grandchildren, and jet skiing.
Yvonne
Berkeley
Accounting Specialist
About Yvonne
Behind every well-run remodeling company is someone who keeps the financial engine humming quietly and flawlessly. At Nip Tuck, that person is Yvonne Berkeley.
Yvonne brings more than three decades of construction accounting experience to her role, spanning project accounting, financial reporting, payroll, contract administration, audits, and everything in between. Her career has been built entirely in the construction industry, giving her an instinctive understanding of how projects move, where the financial complexity lives, and what it takes to keep a company financially healthy at every stage of growth. Since joining Nip Tuck in June of 2025, she has taken full ownership of finance and benefit administration with the kind of calm competence that makes everyone around her breathe easier.
What makes Yvonne truly special, though, is the energy and heart she brings to everything she does. She approaches each new challenge with genuine enthusiasm — the kind of person who tackles the next project before the last one has fully landed. She loves to serve, and it shows in every interaction.
Outside of work, Yvonne is a devoted wife and proud mom to grown children, and an equally devoted parent to two very adored French bulldogs. She has a deep love of roses, and the Nip Tuck office is regularly the better for it.
