Brains, Brawn, and
a Better Way to Build
We’re not a big-box contractor. We’re a tight, experienced team of restoration pros who know what hotel properties really need — and how to deliver it with minimal disruption and maximum value. At BCS, we combine architectural brains with construction brawn to restore hotel exteriors with speed, precision, and pride. Our approach is practical. Our crews are loyal. And our standards are non-negotiable. Whether you manage five properties or fifty, we show up like a partner — not a vendor.
Meet Your Maintenance
& Restoration Partners
Kevin Barker
Founding Partner
In 1997 I started the second half of my career with a simple mission: to increase the lifespan of the thousands of extended-stay hotels that I designed as an architect in the first half of my career. The market demanded these structures originally meant to last 25 years would need to last twice that - and more. So the industry needed new ideas on how to maintain and restore them to extend their lifespans while still operating and producing revenue from their long term guests. Well…. I love a challenge. And no one knew these properties better from a technical perspective. So off we went!
Fast forward a few years and a patented railing system later, we perfected a way to replace an entire Residence Inn exterior stairway - in a single day - when our competitors were taking rooms out of service and causing guest complaints for weeks! BCS rapidly became known to hotel ownership groups across the nation as “the stair guru’s” leading to thousands of exterior stairway restorations and replacements that continue today.
Over the decades since, we’ve expanded our services to cover every exterior maintenance and restoration need any hotel or multi-unit residential building could ever need. Whether it’s roofing, siding, painting, or window replacements, our successful formula never changed: We do it smarter, and we do it faster with craftsmen trained like ninja’s to work in occupied residential environments.
I handed over day-to-day operations to my partner, Ryan, back in 2009. Yet I still love the challenges these properties continue to provide BCS. From technical forensic work solving water migration issues to improving the designs and value-engineering entire Brand Re-imaging / Refresh Programs, I gladly share with you my 50+ year experience in designing, restoring, and even owning hotels. I can put myself in your shoes because I’ve been in your shoes!
So reach out to me to chat about the short term or long term maintenance and restoration goals for your hotel or multi-residential assets. We’ll look carefully at your unique position and portfolio approaching it the same way we always have at BCS - personally.
Ryan Nestor
Managing Partner
Since 2009 I’ve brought my architectural and law backgrounds to the forefront as BCS evolves with the changing marketplace. By leveraging brainpower from our sister architectural firm (www.barkernestor.com), BCS navigates the day-in, day-out maze of permits, review boards, and regulatory hurdles facing hotel and multi-unit residential restoration projects these days. We get it, and we get past it - like no other general contractor in our industry can. So your project can move on your schedule - not the powers that be.
We’re no strangers to evaluating your Property Improvement Plans and Brand Re-imaging / Refresh Program requirements. Time and time again, we find smarter ways to achieve better results that meet their requirements AND match your budget goals. As your advocate, we can even negotiate with your franchisors and lenders on your behalf too.
So whether you’re keeping your flag or changing it, readying properties for sale or investing long term in your flagships, give me a call. Let’s see what our model of brains and brawn can do for your portfolio of properties. Let our three decades of practical experience in caring for hotel and multi-unit residential properties nationwide be your ‘secret weapon’ for common sense asset management.
