Becky Harris, Managing Partner
Since meeting my husband Allen in June of 2008, I have been an avid fan and partner in ALH.
As my background comes from Grand Street Café and The National Golf Club, hospitality and client satisfaction is my focus. The remodeling industry has introduced me to a whole new field of individuals who know what they want. I am thrilled to be a part of this team.
My time away from ALH is spent with my twin daughters Madeline and Eleanor. I also enjoy the remodeling projects at our home working one on one with Allen.
Rob Dagley, Operations Manager and NARI Certified Remodeler
My Name is Rob Dagley and I’m from Excelsior Springs, Mo. I’m the Operations Manager @ ALH Home Renovations. The best definition for my job title @ ALH Home Renovations is, “Choreographer of organized chaos”. I believe that when a project is well organized and managed that it increases the customer’s satisfaction with their remodeling process. I have been in the remodeling industry for the past 20 years.
I like to hang out with my family while watching my boys grow up in the country in a small community. My favorite restaurant is a local Japanese Steak House, Kobe. I appreciate a lazy Sunday afternoon watching the Royals play a game or watching a NASCAR race while I catnap on the couch.

Melissa loves to be creative and strategic, which is why becoming an Interior Designer was an easy choice. She graduated from Johnson County Community College with an Associate’s degree in Interior Design and Kitchen and Bath Design. She has been in the furniture industry since 2014 as a Designer and understands the importance of space planning and functionality. “It all starts with the space you have to work with. So being in the remodeling industry, it becomes more of a ‘make the space work for you’ instead of later on ‘you making the space work’.” Melissa has been with ALH since April 2018. She loves to spend time with her husband, 2 dogs, and cat.
