Jake Schloegel, CR

Jake and Debby Schloegel founded Schloegel Design Remodel in 1980. During his school years, Jake worked part time with a remodeling contractor and developed an interest in remodeling and improving homes. A few years after his graduation from Rockhurst University, he decided to start his own remodeling company. At first it was just Jake doing everything, from setting up jobs, performing the carpentry duties to completing all the necessary paperwork. In short time, he added employees and expanded his services to include design assistance. At the same time Jake and Debby were starting a family that now is made up of his son Ben, a Captain in the KCMO fire department; their daughter Ali, husband Tim; son Peter and wife Kelly; and Charlie and wife Shannon; and the world’s cutest grandchildren. Charlie is now running the Schloegel Property Solutions division.

Jake has been active in NARI, having served as president from 1990 through 1992, and the Leawood Rotary club, having served as president from 2005 to 2006. Debby is staying busy running her own interior design company, Schloegel Decorating Resource.
