At Glenbrook Remodeling we first felt very comfortable with the environment, the process and the selection. They took time to understand what we need and presented us with options that made our decision very easy.

Alex Gherghiceanu

Business Owner & President

I began my career in construction over 25 years ago and co-founded Glenbrook Remodeling with my family in 2005. Since day one, our goal has been to provide exceptional craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and a remodeling experience built on trust, transparency, and personalized service.

From the beginning, I envisioned creating a showroom where homeowners could explore ideas, compare materials, and make confident decisions in a comfortable, no-pressure environment. That vision became a reality in 2016 when we opened our first showroom, giving clients a dedicated space to collaborate with our team and bring their remodeling projects to life.

Outside of work, I love spending time in the great outdoors, especially hiking and camping with my family. I’m also an avid snowboarder and enjoy hitting the slopes with my wife and son.

My personal design style is inspired by nature. I’m drawn to raw, organic materials and timeless textures, so my ideal retreat would be a rustic-style cabin nestled in the mountains.

Renata Gherghiceanu

Business Owner & President

After 15+ years in the commercial property management scene, I decided to join our family business full-time in the summer of 2022. Since its inception in 2005, I  have been involved behind the scenes in accounting, marketing, etc. I am excited to apply my construction and managerial skills to the residential remodeling business. My focus is applying the principles of Aging in Place/Universal Design to remodeling projects and my strength is connecting with people on a personal level and helping them feel comfortable about making decisions.

In my spare time, I love spending time with our son, entertaining our large family and friends, reading, hiking, and camping, and going on long walks with our adorable Beagle mix.  

My ideal home would be positioned on the waterfront and would have a large open-concept kitchen perfect for entertaining.  My style is modern coastal and feels cozy and bright.

Mike Dobre

Project Manager

I entered the field of remodeling right out of high school as a flooring installer/finisher. As I was seeking personal growth, I began taking classes and working hands-on in the finish carpentry field. I love taking a project from a simple idea or a vision and turning it into a dream space for our clients, I am involved in every step from planning to building and transforming the place down to the very last finishing touches. I truly enjoy doing the work and watching it transform alongside our clients. Getting their feedback and seeing their amazement as their new space comes to fruition is a great reward. 

In my free time, when I am not spending time with my twin boys and wife, I apply my talents to home projects and transform my place, using ideas and designs that our amazing team has put together. I am also passionate about cars and car racing.

My dream home would be a vintage house in the downtown area of a small town with history and character that I would remodel with all the modern amenities while keeping its old-school charm. 

Adriana Ionita

Design and Project Consultant

I have been passionate about transforming visions into reality for as long as I can remember. I bring a balanced approach that blends creativity with practicality, guiding projects seamlessly from concept to completion.

My main inspirations come from both innovative tiny homes and timeless traditional residences. I enjoy helping clients create spaces that are functional, beautiful, and uniquely their own.

Outside of work, I enjoy long walks with my dog, reading, and spending time with my two children. My dream home would be a cozy log cabin in the mountains—filled with love, laughter and the sound of a flowing river nearby.
