Elevating the Everyday: The Heartwarming Story Behind Readeau Home Services
For Joe Readeau, the path to founding Readeau Home Services wasn’t just about construction; it was about a lifelong pursuit of creativity and craftsmanship. From a young age, Joe was adept at fixing broken items and dismantling objects just to understand their mechanics. Today, that childhood curiosity has evolved into Readeau Home Services, a premier home remodeling company specializing in high-end interior renovations and stunning outdoor living spaces.
What sets Readeau Home Services apart is Joe’s unique professional background. Before launching his business, Joe spent a decade as a chef and another ten years working in natural gas. This dual background created a distinctive skillset. “My perfectionism was helpful to me in natural gas work, and my creativity played a huge role in cooking,” Joe explains. Now, as a home improvement contractor, Readeau combines that culinary creativity with the rigorous precision required in gas work to create spaces that are as beautiful as they are structurally sound.
Readeau Home Services operates as a “one-stop shop” for homeowners looking to elevate their living spaces. Joe takes immense pride in the “small details that some may not even recognize,” noting that these are the elements that “pull entire projects together seamlessly”. He handles the entire process, from digital design layouts and material pickup to installation and final cleanup.
Readeau Home Services offers a comprehensive range of home renovation services. They specialize in high-end interiors, encompassing complete kitchen and bathroom remodels, flooring, intricate trim work, and custom woodworking. Readeau Home Services can also create stunning outdoor transformations, crafting bespoke backyard retreats complete with custom decks, porches, railings, and pergolas.
Clients choosing Readeau Home Services can expect a level of reliability that is often hard to find in the industry. Joe takes pride in every job, no matter the size, and his promise is simple: “We show up when I say we will, perform quality work, and not call the job complete until the client is satisfied. I am truly honored by the opportunity to transform my clients’ homes into spaces they will love and appreciate for years to come.”
While the craftsmanship is high-end, the company’s motivation is deeply personal. Joe decided to leave a secure union job to start his own company for one main reason: family. After missing milestones with his first two children due to 12-hour workdays and long commutes, Joe took a leave of absence when his third child was born. He realized he needed to do something that would allow him to be a more present father to his children (now ages 5, 3, and 1.5).
“I get to spend my days helping homeowners and businesses bring their visions to life and my evenings watching Toy Story, changing diapers, and reading Where the Wild Things Are,” Joe says. “I am incredibly grateful to have an amazing wife and to be able to experience these moments with my family. I carry that gratitude with me in all things I do; it’s all for them.”
