Brea has led the Interior Design team here at CCH since 2015. She assists customers with choosing both interior and exterior selections from start to finish - all the way from doors, windows, siding and roofing to paint colors, window coverings, and cabinet hardware. As an in-house interior designer, she will help to keep you on schedule, on budget, and on top of new trends and products! She is also responsible for ordering material and cabinet drawings for current clients.
Homegrown here in the Madison area, she worked as an interior designer for a small local business in Central Wisconsin, assisting customers with furniture selections and began her lifelong passion for cabinetry.
Brea enjoys time with her husband, son, daughter, and family, and two precious babies (of the feline variety). She also enjoys yoga and kayaking.
We love that she has such a big heart - she volunteers at local charity events (AJN Freedom Isn't Free and the Cow Chip Festival). She also has volunteered at the food shelter.
How do we describe our Chief Operating Officer, Bryan Sipple? Let's just say he was born to be a builder! As a 4th generation carpenter, there was never a doubt that he would go on to a successful career in the construction industry. While working with his grandfather and father since age 12, they instilled in him the discipline and drive that he possesses today. Bryan credits his mother for his outgoing personality and charisma.
Bryan's strong work ethic and commitment to quality is what built Classic Custom Homes. He is not just building the American Dream, he's living it! Working side by side with his wife Jennie, they have proven that with discipline and hard work, anything is possible.
Bryan has been in the construction field for over four decades. His expertise is in new home construction, multi-family construction, and residential and commercial remodeling. He has worked hands-on in many aspects of construction, and now project manages each and every project himself. This personal hands-on approach and attention to detail is just another thing that separates CCH from the others. With the reputation of Classic Custom Homes on the line, it is important to Bryan that the finest quality products are used and delivered for an affordable price.
Giving back to others in need is very important to Bryan and Classic Custom Homes. Bryan gives generously to the American Cancer Society after losing some dear friends and family members to cancer. He also gives to the Shiners Hospital for Children. Classic Custom Homes also teamed up with Habitat for Humanity for a Frame Up event.
When Bryan is not working, he enjoys spending time at his cabin. A true outdoorsman, his best days are spent with friends and family while snowmobiling, 4-wheeling, or boating.
