April Bettinger
Owner and Founder
For the past 25 years, April Bettinger has carved out for herself a respected niche in the construction industry. Her father was a custom homebuilder in this area during the 70s and 80s, so she grew up watching and learning about excellent customer service and what it takes to build a high-quality project.
Throughout her career in construction, April has held key roles in finance, budgeting, customer service, team building, and sales management preparing her to own & operate her own company. Nip Tuck Remodeling was founded in 2010 on the heals of the recession with a vision and determination to create a construction company with extraordinary craftsmanship AND a focus on professionalism. She is driven to make a difference in the construction industry and leads her company with vision & purpose. She is known to tell you like it is and approaches each and every person she meets with authenticity.
