Giving Back Through Service, Outreach, and Education

At Criner Remodeling, we believe that a successful remodeling company should do more than improve homes—it should improve lives. That’s why our team is committed to community involvement across Newport News and the Virginia Peninsula. Whether we’re volunteering with local nonprofits or sharing expertise at industry events throughout Hampton Roads, we’re proud to give back to the region that has supported us for over 40 years.

Volunteerism & Community Service

As a team, we strive to be a dependable neighbor and active contributor in the Hampton Roads community. Community service efforts allow us to use our skills and resources to make a difference in people’s lives, and we look forward to continuing this work for many years to come.

Past service highlights include:

• Participating in Habitat for Humanity’s annual Remodel Blitz projects
• Rehabilitating and setting up the Yorktown ReStore
• Donating materials removed during renovations to area ReStores to be repurposed in the community
• Serving on the board of local organizations such as ReStore and Seton Manor

By rolling up our sleeves and pitching in, we reinforce the same values that define our remodeling work: craftsmanship, care, and commitment.

Sharing Knowledge to Build the Industry

Our owners, Robert and Paul Criner, are nationally respected voices in the remodeling world. In addition to leading our team, Paul regularly speaks at conferences and events to educate professionals, advocate for better building practices, and support the future of the industry.

Educational involvement includes:

• Speaking at remodeling industry events and workshops
• Mentoring new builders and remodelers
• Advocating for ethical practices and high standards through professional associations

We believe that elevating the remodeling industry means lifting others up along the way—and we’re proud to help shape a stronger future for contractors across Hampton Roads and beyond.

Proud to Be a Local Business That Cares

Criner Remodeling has been part of the Newport News and Virginia Peninsula community since 1977. We live here, we work here, and we care deeply about our neighbors. The Criner Cares initiative reflects our belief that responsible business means more than great results—it means making a difference.
