How a Woman-Owned Contracting Company Brings a New Perspective to Home Upgrades
When I started Cupid & Co. Contracting, my goal wasn’t just to change spaces—it was to change the way people experience home renovations. As a queer, Black woman in a male-dominated industry, I knew I could bring something different to the table. Over the past seven years, I’ve learned that being a woman-owned contracting company is more than just a label; it’s a fresh perspective on how renovations should be done—with care, collaboration, and a focus on the client’s experience at every step.
Bringing Empathy to the Renovation Process
One of the key values I bring to Cupid & Co. is empathy. Home upgrades, whether big or small, are deeply personal. Your home is where your life happens, and the process of transforming those spaces can be both exciting and overwhelming. I approach every project with the understanding that we’re not just working on structures—we’re upgrading spaces that matter to you.
I’ve found that taking the time to truly listen to my clients’ needs and concerns creates an atmosphere of trust. Many clients come to me after negative experiences with contractors who didn’t take their input seriously, or didn’t make them feel safe. At Cupid & Co., we prioritize making every client feel respected, heard, and comfortable—especially those who might have been overlooked or made to feel uneasy in traditional contracting environments.
A Collaborative Approach to Renovations
Contracting is often seen as a one-sided process, where the contractor tells the client what’s best for their home. But at Cupid & Co., I believe in partnership. Whether you’re redoing a kitchen, upgrading a bathroom, or making small tweaks to your space, my team works closely with you to make sure your vision is realized. I view renovations as a collaborative effort, not just construction.
This level of collaboration is particularly important for clients who may not feel confident speaking up or suggesting ideas. As a woman in this industry, I’ve often been the one to ask, “Why not try something different?” I encourage my clients to do the same. Together, we explore possibilities, ensuring that the end result isn’t just functional—it’s a true reflection of your style and needs.
Attention to Detail in Every Upgrade
At Cupid & Co., we understand that every detail matters. When you’re renovating, it’s the small touches—like the finish of your countertops, the alignment of your tiles, or the way the lighting changes the mood of a room—that can make all the difference.
As a woman-owned company, we bring a perspective that values both the aesthetics and the functionality of a space. I’m passionate about helping clients find the perfect balance between beautiful design and practical living solutions, ensuring that every renovation feels thoughtful and cohesive. Whether it’s suggesting energy-efficient materials, maximizing storage, or offering creative layouts, we focus on the details that enhance your home’s livability and style.
Challenging Industry Norms
Being a woman in this industry has given me the opportunity to challenge the way renovations are traditionally done. I’ve found that many clients—especially women, LGBTQ+ individuals, and people of color—often feel uncomfortable or unsure when working with contractors. My goal is to change that by creating an environment where everyone feels welcome and empowered throughout the renovation process.
At Cupid & Co., it’s not just about making physical upgrades; it’s about redefining how contracting is done. We aim to break down the barriers that have made people hesitant to engage in home renovations and to offer a safe, inclusive space where your ideas are valued. I want my clients to know that working with us means more than just renovating a room—it means being part of a process that prioritizes respect, collaboration, and care.
