It's clear that Jason Fairfield has always been destined to love the feeling that comes from building something out of nothing. "My father was the manager at a sawmill," he reminisces. "Just knee high, I can remember being around that heavy equipment. The smell of fresh-cut wood still drives me wild." Jason chased after that feeling of a job well done by working for contractors, but they overcharged for their work, which made him uncomfortable. So he took the high road and started ReFresh Construction & Design.

"I tell the guys and myself every day—it's all about the customer." From basic home repairs and remodeling, to flooring and tiling, Jason looks after his clients with free consultations and advice for energy efficiency. "Two big things you can do," he says. "Switch from a standard light switch to a dimmer, and add a timer to your gas water heater. While I'm here talking to you, your heater is warming water that you don’t need." Beyond construction projects and installations, Jason and his crew of technicians can tackle virtually any project, whether it be seasonal landscaping, staining a deck, or painting an unsolved Rubik's cube before company comes over.
