Discover The Craftsmanship & Passion Behind Harshaw Home Renovators
Family-owned and operated in Ottawa, KS, building homes and relationships since 2018.
The Harshaw Legacy
Building Homes & Relationships
Meet Aaron Harshaw, the heart and soul behind Harshaw Home Renovators. From the age of 14, Aaron discovered his love for craftsmanship while working alongside his uncle in Lawrence, Kansas. That early passion blossomed into a lifelong commitment to turning homes into sanctuaries of beauty and functionality.
After retiring from a fulfilling career in pastoral ministry, Aaron, along with his wife and co-owner Sheri, founded Harshaw Home Renovators in 2018. Together, they're not just building decks or remodeling kitchens; they're elevating your living spaces to become the dream home you've always envisioned. Aaron also mentors and coaches other contractors in The Contractor Fight.
With four kids, including three adult sons with their life partners, a young daughter, and grandchildren, Aaron and Sheri understand the importance of creating stunning and practical homes for families of all sizes.

Our families are our first priority, and we treat your family with the same respect and consideration.
