Meet the Crew

Neil Patterson
Owner

With more than 30 years of construction experience, Neil founded Revitalize Construction after moving to Helena in 2006.  A certified green builder from the Green Builder College, Neil hopes to make the world a better place one home or remodel at a time.

At the age of 24, after earning his degree in European History, Neil became crew foreman for Neergaard Homes, Inc. where he was involved in the construction of more than 50 custom homes. He started his first construction business in Durango, Colorado, in 2002, providing construction management for a multi-million dollar townhome project. He began remodeling homes in 2004 and found the unique challenges of working on old homes a rewarding way to marry his entrepreneurial spirit with his skills as a carpenter.

Bill Gant
Carpenter

Bill joined the Revitalize Construction team in 2019 and is our go-to guy for beautiful finish work. So, it isn’t surprising that he both holds a Master of Fine Arts degree in painting and drawing and has been working in the world of construction since 1989. Outside of work, family is Bill’s number one priority, and he also enjoys fishing, art, and master’s division wrestling.
