Contractor in Appleton, WI | Finding Time Contracting

Owners Troy & Molly Mueller

Over 25 years ago, Molly and I came up with an idea for a little "side" business doing home maintenance and repair. For the first handful of years, while we both worked full time, I would then spend evenings and weekends working for Finding Time Maintenance and Repair. Molly took care of the office administration. It soon became evident that there were simply no longer enough hours in the day to work full-time and do this business "on the side". Our customer list was growing and some of the projects I was being asked to do would require more time and effort. After much prayerful consideration, the decision was made that I would do the Finding Time business full-time and Molly would continue to help part-time.

Fast forward to 2020... Finding Time Maintenance and Repair has grown into Finding Time Contracting - a full service residential and commercial remodeling company. We have been blessed with amazingly talented staff that have helped us to grow and change into who we are today. This is so much more than just a business to us. This is really a mission we feel called to. It has been the honor of our lives to serve the Greater Fox Cities area for the last 25 years. We look forward to many more years to come!

Randy Brochtrup - Business Developer

Randy has been with us since we ran the business out of our home. Those were some cozy days with the three of us around our kitchen table while our office was being built!

Randy is our Business Developer and he is integral to the success of our business. He is the first point of contact for all of our customers. He is the pleasant voice they hear on the phone and the man behind the emails!

Randy schedules all of our estimate appointments and does all the follow-up correspondence with our new customers. In addition, he helps us manage our workload by keeping a steady flow of potential new business coming in.

Randy brings with him years of experience as a business owner himself. His customer service skills and business instincts are outstanding. He is a valuable advisor when we make important business decisions. We feel so blessed to have Randy on our team!

Kelly Behnke - Office Manager

Kelly is a construction professional with over 30 years of experience in residential remodeling and new construction. After earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Architecture from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, she started her career by designing and selling residential remodeling projects, assisting customers in all phases of their projects.

After over 30 years in the Milwaukee area, she returned to her home area and was lucky to have found Finding Time Contracting to continue in her profession, working with the team, in all phases of the remodeling process. In her free time, you can find Kelly working on renovations to her 1910 historic home, curled up with a good book, or spending time her fur kid Vivian, aka her dog.

Project Managers

The role of the Project Manager is an important one. Once a job is signed and scheduled with us, the PM is the primary point of contact for the property owner, the crew, and our subcontractors. They oversee the entire project from start to finish.

If changes or additions need to be made in the schedule or scope of work, the PM's will orchestrate those changes. They will update owners on progress, help to facilitate the delivery of materials, and ensure that we stay on schedule and within budget. Sometimes he can even be found swinging a hammer with the crew!

Jon Barker - Project Manager

We welcomed Jon to the Finding Time Contracting team in 2026. He brings with him over fifteen years of professional experience in the construction industry, specializing in finish carpentry and custom woodworking. His passion for building was fostered by his father. While attending college at The University of Wisconsin- Oshkosh, he began working at a local cabinet shop, and quickly turned this passion into a blossoming career.

He spent most of his career as a custom curved and spiral staircase builder, traveling across the United States building and installing staircases. Through his professional travels, he was exposed to a wealth of learning opportunities and experiences on residential and commercial construction sites. He picked up tips and tricks from some of the most experienced carpenters in the country. While the construction industry opened up so many doors for him throughout his journey, he is excited for this new role to help provide the best service our team can in the community he grew up in.

In his free time, you'll find Jon cooking for his family, working in his shop building furniture, playing with his dogs, and trying to convince his wife to let him buy more tools and adopt more dogs."

Estimators

The role of the Estimator is a critical one. Our Estimators meet with the home or business owners, on site, for the initial appointment to walk through the space and get the scope of work. In many cases, our Estimators are helping the customers design the best use of space. Once they understand the full scope of the work, the real work begins. They create drawings of the space when needed. They then work closely with our suppliers and subcontractors to generate detailed, accurate proposals for the customer.

Matt Marcks - Estimator

Matt grew up in Northeast Wisconsin. He got his start in the construction industry by building yachts - which he did for 13 years. From there, Matt became a business owner in a different industry for nearly 20 years.

Ultimately, he came back to his roots in construction and has served as both a Project Manager and Estimator.
