With almost 40 years of building experience that has included clients such as John Lennon and Donald and Ivana Trump, Chris Mellon has honed his skills so now he can, “listen to exactly what the client wants and then deliver exactly what they are asking for, on time and on budget.”
“I started working in New York working out of the Decoration and Design Building,” Chris says. “By the time I was in my 20s, I was remodeling Malcolm Forbes’ home in New York City. Then we worked for the Trumps, John Lennon and other notable clients. Working with the design staff from these projects gave me a great lesson in design: most importantly, it allowed me to listen.”
Chris Mellon Homes is a full service design, build and remodeling company with a large showroom consisting of over 20,000 products. Unlike builders and remodeling companies that have to send the customer all over town looking for products, Chris Mellon offers a full selection of products. Customers, designers and builders can purchase products from flooring to cabinets, appliances, windows, doors and more from the showroom.
“Beyond selling products, we have the ability to help our clients through the full process of remodeling or building a home. We’re here to help select the finish, which for some can be an overwhelming task. We make that process comfortable in our design center.”
And without middlemen to deal with, customers benefit with great savings in time and money. “Whether you’re looking to buy a new appliance or build a home, remodel your kitchen, bathroom, or any other area of your existing home – we are your number one company,” Chris says.
Chris Mellon also facilitates donating items removed from the home to Habitat for Humanity. Clients get the benefit of savings on their taxes and the pleasure of knowing that donated products don’t go to a landfill – they benefit someone in need.
“We are also the proud sponsor of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation. Mr. Wright was years ahead of his time in design. We help support many causes in and around our state and country. For the past six years we helped support the Carefree Festival and Electric Light Parade. Each year we host The Grand Marshals. This year we had the families of a fallen police officer, which was a special treat since my Dad was Deputy Inspector General of the Dept. in Yew York.”
“My Dad was handy and he taught me well: be honest and do the right thing,” explains Chris of his start in the building world. “I enjoyed building and changing things. Now i’m working with people and making their homes more personable and more comfortable – that’s rewarding. When you love what you do, it never feels like work.”
“For the past 24 years, i have shared my life with my wife, Carrie. we’ve watched our eight children grow up: The oldest is 23 and in his third year of medical school; our youngest, who is 4, will start kindergarten in august.”
