What’s In a Name?

One of the most common questions we get from our clients is where in the world our company’s name comes from! Here’s the scoop: it’s based on owner, Jason Myrlie’s full name. The J is fairly obvious, but Carsten is actually Jason’s middle name. No stranger to having his surname misspoken, Jason decided J. Carsten tripped off the tongue a bit more easily than J. Myrlie Remodeling.

On a personal note, Jason has two daughters, Lauren & Hanna, a cat (actually it’s the girls’ cat, Jason just tolerates it), and a chocolate lab named Stella. He has been home-brewing since 2001, and especially enjoys hoppy IPAs. He also enjoys constantly remodeling his own home and other woodworking projects. Jason’s wife, Gina, passed away from cancer in 2019.
