For over 20 years Joe Ratto has been redesigning and remodeling Eastside homes.  Joe has developed a special interest in the mid century homes that were built after the Second World War for returning GI’s and their growing families.  These homes were very well built and still have "good bones".  They were long on utility but a bit short on design.  Today these same houses are being transformed into beautiful homes by combining spaces formerly separated by walls and turning them into great rooms, expanding kitchen and bath areas, even building up a floor. 

Joe is honored to have recently been included in the top 50 Remodelers in the NW by Northwest Home and Garden Magazine, nominated for Remodeler of the Year by the MBA for 2007, and the recipient of an "Excellence in Remodeling" by the BIAW.  J. A. Ratto – the Art of Remodeling.
