Our Team

JOHN PIAZZA JR. & KIM PIAZZA

In 2012 my wife and I opened John Piazza Jr Construction & Remodeling, Inc. Over the years we have expanded our company both with the building we do as well as with employees. We build custom homes, remodels, additions, spec homes, apartments, and developments.

I have been in construction pretty much my whole life. My father started Piazza Construction, Inc. in 1973 when I was just 3 yrs old. We have been in the valley ever since.

I began my construction career working for my parent’s company pushing a broom then moved my way up the ladder from there. With my parents company I had the opportunity to help build several hundred homes, 6 office buildings, a medical centers, 4 apartment buildings (total of over 400 units), 3 retirement centers and 1 mini storage complex (800+ units). We were also involved with some land development equaling over 100 lots. In 2001 I took over the company as the President. We struggled through some tough years during the outfall of 9/11 and the recession of 2007-2012. During these times we made bold moves to develop a remodeling division which carried us through the tough times. In 2012 we closed Piazza Construction.

I have been happily married to my wife Kim (just ask her) since 1995 and we have 2 wonderful children, son Jordan and daughter Lauren. In 2011 my wife and I started John Piazza Jr. Construction and Remodeling, Inc. Where Kim is the bookkeeper and office manager and also a real estate agent.

My wife and I believe in giving back to the community. We are members of the Mount Vernon and Burlington Chambers of Commerce, founding members of the Burlington Mid-Day Rotary Club, I am a past president of the club and are also past coaches for the Special Olympics program. We are big supporters of the youth in our community, we donate, and sponsor may events. We are also involved in the Skagit Island County Builders Association (SICBA).

Kim is an ambassador for the Burlington Chamber of Commerce as well as a volunteer for the Skagit Valley Hospital Festival of Trees. She is the founding member of the “One Community One Family”, a charity to benefit cancer patients in Skagit County. Lastly, she also serves on the SICBA Board of Directors (Builder Member in 2017-2018, SICBA BOA Treasurer in 2018-2019, and SICBA BOA President in 2019-2020).

BRIAN BOURDO | FIELD SUPERVISOR

I started my building career out as a young teen. I was into skateboarding and started to build ramps and rails. My father gave me the tools and knowledge to start building. By the time I was in high school I was building ½ pipes in friends back yards. In high school woodshop, my direction changed from building skateboard ramps, to building things with more detail. I started to build shelves and cabinets. I built an electric guitar, that did not stay tuned very well.

In 2002 I went to work for a local cabinet company. Building and installing cabinets in King, Snohomish, and Skagit county. From there I moved into Custom Windows and Doors. In 2007 I started working with a commercial floor installer. We specialized in all hard surface material: vinyl, ceramic, and hardwood material. I have tiled multiple bathrooms in executive suites in downtown Seattle, as well as many different floor coverings in Medical offices and hospitals around the PNW. Chances are if you have been to a hospital in western Washington you have seen some of my work.

With the Flooring Company, when we were not installing flooring, we were framing the house. This is where I really cut my teeth as a home builder. The satisfaction I got from building a home was unmatched. I would also do some of the finished work on the homes we framed. My experience from building and installing cabinets really started to come into play.

2014 I had to have surgery on my right knee. I ended up rupturing the bursa sack in my knee and tearing my meniscus. The meniscus was repaired, but I could not go back to flooring full time. After I recovered I was hired by an insurance restoration company. They specialize in fire damage and homes that were struck by trees. This was a very exciting job, We demoed and rebuilt homes, usually bigger and better than before. I grew into a leadership position within the company after a year. This gave me the opportunity to teach people

In 2018 I started with a company that specialized in weather proof decks. There is a lot of rot repair in that line of work. After heading up some projects I weas ready for a change. John Piazza Jr construction has given me the opportunity to take my knowledge and apply it to a supervisory position. I strive for quality craftsmanship and great customer satisfaction.

The work you did on the remodel of our home was simply outstanding! Your suggestions on the design and implementation of our ideas was the perfect combination, and we could not be happier. Every tradesman was professional, but we were especially pleased with Darren and JJ who were easy to work with and did great work, so was Bela. So, thank you for all that you put into this remodel. We love our new home and appreciate all that your company did to make it happen!
Raymond & John
We are grateful that we chose John Piazza Jr Construction to remodel our 40 year old home in 2023. From start to finish, communication with the project manager, Bela, and every member of the crews involved (framers, concrete work, electricians, plumbers, etc.) was thorough, personable and professional. Throughout the entire project , starting with JPC’s initial walk through of our home, there was always an open line of communication and timely response with Bela responding back to us. When changes, questions & challenges occurred JPC used their professional input & knowledge to help us in making quality changes that we wanted to see. JPC’s quality of work, craftsmanship, and genuine care for our remodel helped us enjoy the process as we knew that any questions or considerations would be taken care of promptly. We love our beautiful, new home. The completed project is a wonderful example of working together with a local company that cares about their clients.
Bianchini Home Remodel
Our project was a complicated 2-phase, full house remodel (down to the studs) on a very worn out (3) floor coastal home. John Piazza Construction assisted us in every stage of the remodel process, from plan sets and permits, to all aspects of construction and finishes. The entire team from Piazza was a true pleasure to work with, prompt and courteous, they took care of all details. Coordinated with sub-contractors and suppliers, expedited material deliveries when required, and resolved inevitable problems with humor and expediency. We give them the highest recommendation
