A letter from the founder, Matt Merrifield:
Lakeside Renovation & Design, Inc. was founded in 1997 when I returned from the United States Marine Corps. I already had years of experience in the home improvement industry before I went into the Marines and wanted to continue the trade.
Our business became so busy by 1999, my brother, Dan, joined our team as the Sales Director and Co-Owner.
In 2000, Lakeside Renovation & Design brought James Hardie fiber cement siding to the market in St. Louis. To date, we are the only James Hardie Elite Preferred Remodeler in the entire St. Louis region.
In 2006, we became the exclusive distributor of Infinity from Marvin Ultrex fiberglass windows.
In 2019, Lakeside Exteriors changed its name to Lakeside Renovation & Design. It was an obvious need to help us establish a name that truly reflects everything we do. We offer Kitchens, Bathrooms, Basement build-outs, Room Additions & basic Interior needs.
The Family Behind the Business
In the past 20 years we have made great strides to make Lakeside stand out from the rest. We accomplish this by:
- Creating an atmosphere of opportunity for our employee’s. We have instilled a culture here where character, work ethic, and results create that opportunity. Through hard work, continued growth and a constant need to improve, we feel Lakeside is a better company today than it has ever been.
- Making sure our customer come first. Through our wonderful employee’s, we emphasize customer satisfaction. It is what keeps us employed with a growth mentality because we know that without the Customer, we do not exist.
- Being a Family. My brother is Co-Owner of Lakeside, my Daughter is our Marketing Manager, but on top of that, our employees have helped develop a family atmosphere here at Lakeside.
I am a firm believer in doing what is right and making sure our customers are always happy. If you’d like someone you can trust to help you with your home improvement project, please give us a call.
Thank you for your interest in Lakeside Renovation & Design!
Sincerely,
Matt Merrifield
