About the Owner

Owner Dave Bryan

Dave's introduction to the remodeling industry started by swinging a hammer for a builder on Martha's Vineyard during the summers in high school. By the end of college, he knew he wanted to own a remodeling company. Dave and Brenda Bryan started Blackdog in 1989. The company was born out of a spare room and a beat up pick-up truck. Dave kept up a busy schedule, doing all the construction and office work himself. Eventually, they were able to hire more people, and began to create a world class remodeling company that would deliver great experiences and high-quality work on time and on budget.

In 1995, Dave and Brenda proposed a business plan for the company's first showroom, which has since undergone construction to allow for more displays and office space. And in 2009 the company expanded again, adding another showroom in Amherst, NH. Dave is proud to see his vision come to fruition, and he is excited by the prospect of constant improvement. And when he's not in the office, Dave enjoys spending time with Brenda and their four kids, as well as upland game hunting, salt water fishing, and building furniture. He also continues to work hard, volunteering in local organizations to support the community.
