Our Team

    President, Founder, Owner

    Mike Howes

    As the owner of MCB Remodeling LLC, I bring over 30 years of hands-on experience in remodeling and construction to homeowners in the San Francisco Bay Area. Since founding MCB Remodeling in 1999, I’ve been dedicated to transforming houses into dream homes, ensuring each project reflects the unique vision and needs of my clients.

    My journey in construction began with working for a builder in Los Altos during high school summers. A passion for building and a commitment to quality craftsmanship developed as I learned the trade from skilled artisans. Over the years, I’ve honed my own skills and expanded my expertise to encompass a wide range of services, from small repairs to complete home remodels and new constructions. Every task we perform or project we build is important to our clients. I believe that open communication and personalized service are the cornerstones of a successful remodeling experience.

    At MCB Remodeling, I prioritize understanding your lifestyle and preferences to create spaces that are not only beautiful but also functional and supports the life you wish to live. Whether you prefer daily updates or a more hands-off approach, my team and I adapt to your communication style, ensuring you feel comfortable and informed throughout the process.

    Outside of work, I enjoy riding through the local mountains on a mountain bike, snowboarding, and delving into woodworking projects which inspire my creative approach to remodeling.

    I look forward to the opportunity to collaborate with you and bring your remodeling vision to life.

    Business Manager

    Kathryn E. Gelman

    “I love working with the MCB Remodeling team because each employee has a significant, pivotal, and appreciative role in the company. Everyone matters…and that philosophy allows us to work and grow as a team”.

    Over the course of four years, Michael lobbied Kathryn to leave her Quality and Risk Management position at Stanford Hospital and Clinics and join his team at MCB. Her abilities to build systems, establish and streamline processes, and improve communications are the foundation of our ability to successfully build an array of projects in this diverse industry.

    Kathryn spends her spare time swimming with the Stanford Masters Swimming team and volunteering at Oscar's Place Donkey Sanctuary.

    Clemente A. Jimenez

    Starting his career in landscaping alongside his dad, Clemente developed a strong foundation in various construction trades early on. Clemente fell in love with building because of the unique challenges each project presents and the immense satisfaction that comes with completing a build.

We have a lot of enthusiasm within our team, and it is infectious especially when we are trying to figure out the best way to tackle something unforeseen in the field”. Clemente brings a wealth of skills acquired over the years and maintains an open mind to learning new techniques. He thrives within this industry and wants to continue to expand his expertise.
