Who We Are & How We Work

Fulton Holmes is a process-driven residential remodeling firm shaped by decades of hands-on experience, thoughtful growth, and a clear understanding of what it takes to deliver consistent value.

Company History

2000–2008

Co-founder Brad Pipe entered the trades in 2000, building his foundation in residential framing across projects ranging from modest homes to complex custom residences. Over time—and especially through the market shifts following the 2008 recession—his work expanded into residential remodeling, where careful planning, coordination, and communication matter most, particularly in occupied homes.

2008–2014

Like many builders, Brad explored entrepreneurship early, taking on a wide range of independent projects while learning firsthand what it takes to operate a business responsibly. Those experiences clarified an important lesson: great work in the field must be supported by strong systems, leadership, and operational structure to be sustainable.

2023–2025

That clarity ultimately led to a partnership with co-founder Ross Beckwith, whose background in business administration, customer service, and operations complemented Brad’s strength in field leadership and project execution. Together, they built a firm grounded in trust, shared values, and a disciplined approach to remodeling.

In 2026, Fulton Holmes was launched to reflect both that evolution and the character of the work the firm had naturally grown into.

The name comes from the Fulton Street Corridor, stretching from Downtown Grand Rapids through Eastown, East Grand Rapids, and into Ada. This area is known for its craftsmanship, history, and distinctive homes, and it is where Fulton Holmes does much of its work.

Today, Fulton Holmes helps homeowners navigate complex remodeling projects with a clear process and trusted guidance. By applying thoughtful value engineering, we find opportunities to reduce unnecessary costs while improving the overall result. Every decision is made with an eye toward balancing function, design, timeline, and budget, creating homes that feel as good to live in as they look.

Value Engineering as a Continuous Practice

Value engineering at Fulton Homes builds directly on disciplined planning and early intent-setting. Rather than being applied late in the process or used to reduce scope, value engineering is a continuous practice embedded throughout design and construction.

Every project begins with a clear plan. Through detailed scopes of work, formal agreements, and a structured process, important decisions can be made early when there is still flexibility to evaluate options, costs, and long term performance.

At Fulton Homes, value engineering is not about cutting corners. It is about making informed decisions. By combining craftsmanship, transparency, and clear communication, we help homeowners invest where it matters most and avoid unnecessary costs, creating better outcomes from planning through construction.

Both Ross and Brandon were incredibly helpful in pointing me to a local contractor that they trusted. Both took the time to text and speak with me about their recommended contractor, which I appreciated very much.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We live in over a 100 year home and interviewed 5-6 contractors before deciding on Brad and Ross. This project was complicated due to the age and history of our home. Plus we had a budget in mind that we needed to stay within 3-5 percent of. After meeting with Ross and Brad we immediately knew they were the guys for the job. They are folks of integrity, good will and are attentive from day one-completion. Ross is the project manager and communicates daily and is extremely organized, attentive and walked us through every step along the way. He was patient through all my anxious questions and made this as painless as humanly possible. Any issue, complication was always communicated and collaborated on. He was honest about our ideas and the budget. Brad is a master builder! Our remodel exceeded our expectations and our home feels complete for now. Our space is beautiful, open and has reenergized our entire family. Brad came up with the most creative ideas while honoring the budget and our vision. He communicated any change, issue and offered creative/beautiful solutions. I learned to trust Brad and Ross and sincerely appreciate the work they did and who they are as professionals.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I called to inquiry about needing some repair work completed to old bathroom tiles and grout issues. After speaking with Ross he determined that my project scope was probably not that best match for Brad Pipe Remodeling. However, he was so kind and quick to still look over the repairs I needed and referred me to another tile restoration company he has worked with and thought would be a better fit for the project I want completed. He went above and beyond to provide me recommendations and a level of customer service you don't often see in this industry. If that is any indication of the work ethic and company values of Brad Pipe Remodeling I cannot recommend enough!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We hired Brad Pipe Remodeling to renovate two bathrooms in our condo, one a partial renovation and the other a somewhat complicated gut renovation. Brad and Ross were very professional and easy to work with. Their planning process laid the groundwork for everything to go smoothly, and their budgeting was incredibly organized and transparent. We were out of state during the work, and they went above and beyond to keep in touch. They dealt graciously and resourcefully with the quirks of our building and our unit, and the results are beautiful. We’re really pleased with our experience and we can’t recommend them highly enough.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My husband and I recently bought a house and wanted to add a bathroom to the basement, update the flooring, and refresh the kitchen on the main floor before moving in. We were looking for a reputable company with fair pricing, and we’re so glad we found Brad Pipe Remodeling. From the start, the experience was excellent. Ross and Brad were highly communicative and kept the project moving seamlessly. They coordinated subcontractors and city permits efficiently, ensuring no time was wasted. Although we were initially quoted 6–8 weeks for the bathroom, it was completed in just 4 weeks, and we came in under budget! They were diligent about keeping costs on track, transparent about expenses, and mindful of our priorities, which gave us confidence every step of the way. We highly recommend Brad Pipe Remodeling for any home renovation project and will absolutely work with them again in the future!
