About Black Dog Reno: Home Renovations Experts

Black Dog Reno is founded on three core principles we truly believe in: a design-first approach, quality craftsmanship, and thoughtful renovations. We’re Nathan Stierna and Melissa Anderson, and for years we've shared a vision: to transform dated, 'otherwise dull' spaces into homes that people are proud to live in and love. Nathan is craftsmanship-driven and detail-obsessed, committed to doing things right, never cutting corners, and upholding high standards for every project. Melissa leads the design vision with a trained eye for flow, comfort, and elevated finishes, passionately creating spaces that feel welcoming and cohesive. Gus, our black lab and the inspiration behind our name, embodies the values we hold dear: loyalty, steadiness, and compassion.

 We deliver thoughtful renovations with a design-first approach and a commitment to quality craftsmanship. This means we don’t just “update” a space; we enhance how it looks, flows, and functions, creating an environment that feels cohesive, elevated, and built to last. From our first conversation to the final walkthrough, we’re hands-on, detail-focused, and clear in our communication. You’ll receive honest guidance, thoughtful options, and a team that treats your home with the care it deserves. Whether you already know exactly what you want or need assistance bringing your vision to life, we’ll help you make confident decisions and execute them with precision.

Beyond renovations, we also offer professional home repair services for the everyday issues that naturally arise over time.  Whether it’s cracked floor tile, damaged trim, a door in need of repair, or other finish work, we approach each project with the same care and precision we bring to our larger renovations. We also serve property managers and vacation rental owners who need dependable repair services to keep their properties beautiful, functional, and well-maintained.

We serve homeowners and property investors throughout the Verde Valley and surrounding areas who want thoughtful renovations done with care, clarity, and quality craftsmanship. It’s genuinely our heart to serve these communities well. We love partnering with people who value a design-first approach, appreciate quality, and want a team that shows up with professionalism, passion, and a commitment to doing things the right way, every time.
