Meet the Staff 

Bob was born and raised in the Mt. Washington area of Pittsburgh and graduated from South Hills High School.  Bob’s father taught him carpentry and building skills from an early age, and helped start his first business of Robert Bruno Contracting at 20 years of age.  Six years later he was drafted in the US Army and soon commissioned as an officer in the Armor branch of the service.  Tank commander Bob serviced the country for 20 years before retiring honorably. 

Retired but not tired, Bob started his old construction business back up as Robert Bruno General Contracting, then in 1995 incorporated under the name of Certified Home Remodelers.   He continued to develop Certified Home Remodelers into what it is today.   A family business built on old school family values and integrity.

Bob is a Certified Graduate Remodeler from the National Home Builders Assoc. and a Master Mason.  He graduated from Campbell College and enjoys the outdoors, his wife and grandchildren, a great game of poker, and an occasional martini at the end of a long day.

Bob was born in Columbus, Georgia and raised as an Army Brat, traveling all over the United States, Okinawa, and Korea.     Bob quickly made his way back to his roots in Pittsburgh in 1992, and worked with his father in the building trade.  Bob helped develop Certified Home Remodelers and learned from his mentors the skills necessary to carry the business to the next generation. 

Graduated from University of Northern Colorado and spending a much shorter time in the US Army to service the country.  Bob is a Certified Graduate Remodeler from the National Home Builders Assoc. and a Master Mason.  Bob is a member of the Washington County Builders Association and The Alternative Board.  He enjoys the outdoors, his wife and five children, and a Steeler football afternoon.
