Building Success with Tim Travers: The Bristol Remodeling & Construction Story
Tim Travers started Bristol Remodeling & Construction in 2013, initially flipping houses in Massachusetts. He soon realized the remodeling side of the business was more sustainable than flipping homes, as it provided steady work and allowed him to build a strong team. This shift helped the company grow quickly and establish a reputation for quality and reliability.
Tim’s company expanded from residential remodeling to include commercial projects, now balancing about 50% residential and 50% commercial work. They operate in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, with plans to open a branch in North Carolina. This expansion is driven by market needs and local client relationships, especially with real estate agents.
Building a strong team is a core part of Tim’s success. He carefully selects subcontractors based on location, skill, and teamwork. Tim pays his subcontractors promptly and treats them with respect, which helps retain top talent. He also leads by example, working alongside his crew on job sites and emphasizing pride in workmanship.
“Do it 110% or don’t do it at all — pride in workmanship is everything.” ~Tim Travers
Work ethic is a key value at Bristol Remodeling. Tim shares that he once worked 110 hours a week to grow the business fast. He expects his team to take pride in their work and deliver 110% effort. This dedication to quality means they often lose money rather than deliver anything less than perfect.
Tim also serves as president of Old Colony Habitat for Humanity, showing his commitment to giving back to the community. Under his leadership, the organization improved its financial health and continues to build affordable housing. This community focus is part of Bristol Construction’s culture.
Looking ahead, Bristol Remodeling is growing new construction projects, including a subdivision in Massachusetts and a coastal subdivision in North Carolina. They are also planning a material processing yard to support their heavy equipment and site work needs. Tim’s vision includes expanding their footprint and continuing to build quality homes and commercial spaces.
