Meet Our Team

Jacob is a second generation remodeler. Under the guidance of his father, Jacob learned everything in home renovation. From plumbing and electrical to finish carpentry, he has the skill set to solve almost any unforeseen obstacle. His vision is for the company to be a leader in sustainable building and a resource for every homeowner who wants to learn more about green construction. As the founder of Haywood, he hopes to see a shift in responsible building practices and ultimately a cleaner, greener environment.

Max became interested in remodeling at a young age watching and helping his father remodel the house. After graduating high school he traveled playing music but would come home to work with his brothers and cousins remodeling houses and being a general handy-man. He learned all the ins and outs of the trade in the process. He focuses on quality of workmanship as well as being reliable and personable. In his time off he enjoys woodworking, designing and building furniture, hanging out with his wife & two dogs.

Alyssa came into remodeling when her husband Max had the wild idea to buy & flip their first home; she has loved watching home transformations ever since. With a decade of experience in management, including most recently overseeing visitor operations at the Cincinnati Zoo, Alyssa believes clear, pro-active, and frequent communication is key to a successful home renovation. Away from Haywood, Alyssa works with her hands by gardening in the summer and knitting in the winter and wrangling with her wild son all year.
