About Us

Amy Ressa, originally from Elkhart, Indiana, is the Selections Coordinator at RessaBuilt.  Amy, who graduated from Indiana University-Bloomington with a BS Degree in Interior Design, began her career in corporate sales and customer service.  Later, she used those decades of knowledge and experience to transition to the home improvement industry, where she joined RessaBuilt.  Her communication skills and ability to truly understand a client's wishes allow her to guide them through the process of selecting the assets for their project from the seemingly endless amount of options. Equally important is her complete understanding of timelines and budgets to ensure decisions are made in a timely fashion, while also falling in line with financial parameters.  Amy is always available and willing to answer questions to help explain the nuances of a construction project that might seem daunting to a client.  Her calm yet proactive demeanor makes her a client favorite and truly the Wonder Woman of RessaBuilt.  Living her best life outside of her day-to-day business responsibilities, she is passionate about a healthy lifestyle based on nutrition and exercise, and spending time with her husband, children, and family.

Luis “Lucho" Barron, born in Bolivia, immigrated to the DC area in 1999, is the pinnacle of the RessaBuilt project management team.  Trained as a carpenter upon joining Ressabuilt, he continued his development and completed his certification for Blueprint Reading and the NARI Certified Remodelers Program.  Lucho has 17 years of construction experience, ten of which have been with RessaBuilt, where he has received glowing accolades in his reviews from the hundreds of clients he has collaborated with over the years.  During his tenure at the company, he has advanced to the level of Senior Project Manager and holds a position on the company’s leadership team.  His client service and leadership with RessaBuilt, and within the community, are evident as he was nominated and named the PRO-Mid Atlantic’s Most Valuable Project Manager at the 2021 Contractor of the Year Awards.  Outside of his professional duties, in his free time, Lucho likes to play soccer, workout and is a trained dancer.    

Mark Poirier, a native Virginian, residing in Woodbridge, and a trained master carpenter, has been with RessaBuilt since 2007.  During his 30 years of remodeling experience, he has worked on both large and small projects that involved complex framing plans.  Mark is proficient in the means and methods of delivering both classic and contemporary/modern aesthetics.  He has an EPA Lead Certification and is a Certified Remodeling Project Manager through the Professional Remodelers Organization – MidAtlantic Chapter.  Mark is not only a talented carpenter but also an excellent client service manager.  This holds true whether he is working directly with a client or collaborating with an architect, and is the reason RessaBuilt promoted him to be a Project Manager.  His drive to help his clients realize their dream and vision for their project is his number one goal.  As one of our longest-serving employees beyond the ownership, Mark loves the feeling of family that working at RessaBuilt embodies, along with his value and significance in helping the company continue to grow.
