The owner of Waterford Homes Inc., Steve Whittle, began building over 40 years ago. While in high school, he assisted a neighbor in building a lake house in southern New Hampshire. He continued working as a carpenter through college and gained experience restoring 250+ year old houses in New England. After graduating, Steve continued in the field with a focus on "post and beam" houses, from assembly to finish. He worked for 7 years in New Hampshire improving his craft.

Steve moved to Fort Collins in the spring of 1990 to start a woodshop that manufactured educational toys. After 5 years, the economy unfortunately favored overseas production, and Steve returned to the construction industry. After 2 years as a superintendent/project manager, and the construction of countless homes later, Steve founded Waterford Homes Inc. in 1997. Since that time, Steve has devoted himself to remodeling, basement finishes, and custom home building in and around Loveland, Berthoud, and Windsor, CO In many ways, remodeling presents more challenge and creativity which is what "I truly enjoy".

The co-owner of Waterford Homes Inc., Ellen Williams, has been an integral part of Waterford's success. Ellen's background, although different from Steve's in many ways, compliments his, and adds depth to the company. Ellen's career has been that of an occupational therapist. Her continued training, multiple degrees, and years of experience in home settings affords her a level of expertise not often found in a construction/remodeling company. Her ability to look at homeowner needs and make specific recommendations is invaluable. Ellen can not only teach specific skills to the aging or injured, but can recommend remodeling concepts to keep people in their homes with often time simple and inexpensive solutions.

Mark also has 13 year experience in the nuclear energy field as a radiological control technician as well as a senior training specialist as a fire fighter. In his spare time, he enjoys furniture restoration.

From framing, siding and decks to interior trim, custom cabinets, and hardwood floors, Sjohn can tackle any job. He also is a certified Pella window installer and has a special knack for tile and backsplashes. When not building, you can find him riding his bike, boating, or zipping around in his convertible with wife, Jo.

Denver born and Philadelphia raised Jon has 10+ years experience in all phases of remodeling and construction to include: tiling, framing, drywall, flooring, electrical, plumbing, and finish detail work. Quick on his feet. Together, Jon and Sjohn make a dynamic duo that can problem solve any construction issue that might arise.

We're so glad he's back from the east and has joined us.
