2008 Interior Design

After gaining a certification in interior decorating, she started her company with a focus on kitchen and bathroom remodeling, room layouts, color selections, and interior designs. Through her own initiative, she taught herself Project and Operations Management, Blueprints, and 3D renderings.

With her strong background in design and her self-taught knowledge of project management and construction techniques, Jennifer was well-equipped to handle the challenge and her business quickly grew in reputation and success.
2009 Residential Remodeling and Building
Jennifer's company continued to evolve and grow with the addition of her husband, Brian, and her son, Syndgen, to the team. Together, they began managing all aspects of the projects, from design to construction.

The company's focus shifted to custom remodeling, and the majority of the work was done by Jennifer, Brian, and Syndgen themselves, allowing them to maintain a high level of craftsmanship and attention to detail.
2010 General Contracting
As the business continued to grow rapidly, the demand for more complex and structural changes in homes increased. In order to meet these new demands, Jennifer decided to go back to school to take a course in home repair. She and Syndgen became National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) certified contractors and taught themselves the building codes and regulations that were necessary for their projects. With this new knowledge and certification, they were able to take on bigger and more challenging projects, such as structural changes to homes.

The school quickly became well-known for its comprehensive and hands-on approach to education, and hundreds of students graduated from the program, ready to take on the challenges of the construction industry.
2018 Online Begins
As the demand for their training programs continued to grow, Jennifer and Syndgen decided to take the classes to a national level. In order to reach students who were unable to attend the school in person, they began an online video training program. The program was designed to be easy to understand and accessible to working students, as well as those living too far away from the school to attend in person. The online program became increasingly popular and began to reach students outside of Texas, as the demand for accessible and high-quality training for contractors and trades professionals continued to grow. The online program was well-succesfull for the school, allowing them to expand the reach of their education and make it more accessible to more people.
2019 A Better Way to Build
Jennifer and Syndgen continue to be actively involved in the construction industry, meeting with suppliers, contractors and students to gather insights on the challenges and pain points in the field. With the goal of simplifying the process of construction and installation, they began to combine the vast industry information and knowledge they had gathered into easy-to-use checklist systems that could be used on the job. Their focus for 2021 is on providing resources and training to contractors on the International Residential Codes (IRC) which are the standard codes for residential construction in the United States. They strive to make the latest industry information and technology accessible and easy to understand for those in the field, to help contractors stay current and improve their work.
