Our story
“I was born with a hammer in my hands.”
I'm James Russell, founder of Copper Oak Renovations. I've always been hands-on. It's in my blood. As a husband and father of three, I try to lead by example and bring hard work, integrity, and faith to every job.
Copper Oak was founded in November 2019, after years of working alongside my father. We still build the way he taught me, with a few modern tools he didn't have. I care as much about the relationship as the build, and I don't take shortcuts. I'm personally involved in every project from the first visit to the final walkthrough.
