Melisande Atkinson

Melisande Atkinson is the founder of Better Built Craftsman LLC, a Birmingham home remodeling companyspecializing in finish carpentry, kitchen and bathroom remodeling, deck building, and general handyman services. Her personal design aesthetic can be described as Mid-Century Pan-Asian with an emphasis on bold geometrics and neutral palettes. “One of the main reasons I chose to found my own home remodeling company,” Melisande states, “is that while the idea that 'perfect is the enemy of good,' there is no such thing as good enough,” a philosophy that drives her to continue to grow and evolve. “My crew is on board with my principle philosophy, which is important to me. Without their exceptional talents I could not deliver the sort of experience that I want to my clients.” Melisande can be reached at contractor@betterbuiltcraftsman.com
