Meet Our BHI Team
We're a family-owned remodeling company on Mercer Island. These are the people who do the work.
Andrew Baklinski
Owner
Andrew is a native of Ontario Canada. Growing up in a large family, he learned a lot about teamwork and working hard to get a job done right. Many of his siblings are actively involved in the construction industry and being on job sites from a young age, Andrew learned a broad spectrum of skills. He has worked professionally in construction-related fields bridging from film set design and construction to new home construction, renovations, sales, management, and business development both in residential and commercial markets.
He is married to Veronika, a third-generation Mercer Island girl and together, along with their 8 children, they have called Mercer Island their home for the last 9 years. In his spare time, he loves biking, hiking and enjoying the beautiful Pacific Northwest. Both Andrew and Veronika love to cook and travel and their children are following in their footsteps!
Andrew is passionate about the level of professionalism that he brings to the company and to the customers that we serve. Our motto: “Quality, Integrity, Satisfaction” is not just a catchphrase but is really the motto by which Andrew lives.
Niki Baklinski
Owner
I'm Niki Baklinski, co-owner, and I am having so much fun working with everyone!
Having been a wife to a business owner for the last 7 years, I have been the strong woman behind the successful man. I have leaned into family life and relationships inside our family for the last 25 years. Andrew and I chose to have me step into the business by his side as the new year started so that we could up-level how well we serve you and take Baklinski Home Improvement up to the next level.
My biggest passion is relationships. Using our family life as repetitions for practicing excellent human interaction, I am loving leveraging that investment as I stand in the role of champion of WOW-Level-Orchestration at the side of Andrew. I love raising the bar inside the company because it is my belief that this will spill over into how we treat you, our customers. I am thrilled that you get to experience this!
Here at Baklinski Home Improvement, we truly believe that improving your home is improving your life. For me, a key component of a successful project is strong and effective relationships while we give you your vision created in wood and concrete—your house turned into a true home!
I love doing “both and”: excellent relationships while we give you excellent service.
So excited to serve you at WOW level the rest of this year and beyond!
