Nelson-Dye Remodeling Specialists

We were launched in Orange County in 1956, we were a general contractor for traditional commercial and residential projects. As the company grew, founding partner Rodney Dye saw how homeowners were unappreciated and underserved for home remodeling by the construction industry. He saw the need in the market as both a business owner and a family man.

Specializing in Designer Kitchens

As he began to shift the focus of the company, more and more families recognized his expertise in whole home remodeling and especially kitchens. Soon, Nelson-Dye became a specialty firm working exclusively on home remodeling projects with an emphasis on designer kitchens.

Launch of the Fresno Office

In 1972 the company opened a division office in Fresno and built a local reputation for innovative design and quality craftsmanship. Like its Orange County parent company, the Fresno division grew and prospered by specializing in home remodeling.

With our growing success in Fresno and the Central Valley, the company eventually moved the Orange County office to Fresno so that today, Nelson-Dye Remodeling Specialists operates exclusively in Central California.

Family-Owned & Operated

The company grew and prospered. Rodney and Gary Schwandt (husband to Rodney’s daughter Kathie) opened the Fresno location. Rodney’s son Ken and daughter Laurie also joined the Fresno location, which eventually split off from the original Orange County office. Ken Dye became President & CEO on Rodney’s passing and is now co-owner with his sister Kathie. Gary and Kathie’s sons, Jason Schwandt (along with his wife Erika Schwandt) and Michael Schwandt, became the third generation of Dyes – along with their cousin Allison, Ken’s daughter – running and working in the business.

Entering Our Next Phase

The company continues to lead the way with cutting edge interior design, exceptional craftsmanship and responsible business practices. While trends in bathroom and kitchen designs change over the years, there is always a market for innovative design and quality craftsmanship. As we enter our next 50 years in business, we do it ready to take on the challenges of the ever-changing remodeling industry. With state-of-the-art design concepts, a service-based company policy, and a staff of highly skilled and talented employees, Nelson-Dye is well equipped to meet those challenges.
