For Timothy, there is no greater reward than visiting with homeowners 2, 5, or 10 years after their renovation is complete and seeing that the home still looks and functions great. He loves stories about how an addition or new kitchen has enhanced the family’s life, both in daily experience and special events. Creating these one-of-a-kind, personalized home solutions for people is why he started in the remodeling business and founded Birch+Oak, and is what fuels his passion.

You’ll always get a smile and an exuberant greeting when Cody enters the room. His technical proficiencies began with a background in theatrical and AV arts.

Jen is a self proclaimed Home Renovation Enthusiast! She loves all things design: building, woodworking, painting, sewing, organizing, and graphic design. What she enjoys most about renovationg is finding creative solutions to problems, and being part of a collaborative team of designers and builders. She’s passionate about reimagining spaces to create final products that are both beautiful and functional.

Jen has a strong desire to help others, and finds it fulfilling to help other homeowners create beautiful and functional spaces in their homes.

Growing up in 100+ year old homes, she appreciated the beauty and challenges of architecture at a very young age. As a kid, she was an avid fort builder and artist, and by the time she was 10 years old, knew very well how to reset blown electrical fuses. As a teen, she regularly rearranged her room, and took advantage of every drafting, woodworking, photography and art class that she could. She went on to earn a Bachelor of Science in Architecture.

Outside of Birch+Oak, Jen volunteers as a Girl Scout Leader and is active with her kids' school, organizing events and helping her community in any way she can. She values community, and encourages her kids to always be kind and inclusive. She loves to travel, and has lived in 5 states and 3 countries. The entire team loves having her talent, dedication and creativity as part of our team!

Shira has many years of experience working in marketing and sales, predominately in theater, attractions and entertainment. She’s an active part of her local theater community, but spends most of her onstage time these days in her backyard, or miscellaneous public places, fulfilling the performance requests of her 5-year-old daughter and doing duets to songs from Gabby’s Dollhouse, My Little Pony and Frozen.

One thing she loves about the remodeling and the design build process is seeing projects go from ideas to wonderful new spaces, involving art and craft and creativity and innovation. She also loves the collaboration and true teamwork that’s involved, and seeing frustrating home spaces become wonderful new ones that homeowners love and adore and make their lives better.

Having undergone a partial home remodel herself, Shira is very familiar with the process and greatly enjoys doing her part to help other homeowners have a wonderful experience with it!
