Peter Michelson
Partner
As a fourth generation construction professional, Peter grew up helping out with the family business in the Boston area, and later worked as a carpenter for various companies in San Francisco and the Hudson Valley region. In 2001, Peter combined his previous education and work experience into Renewal Design-Build, an Atlanta home remodeling company, and built Renewal into one of Atlanta’s premier home renovation companies. Peter was thrilled to join the Alair family, where his passion thrives for providing clients with the highest standards of quality construction and the best customer satisfaction possible. Peter and his team earn a trust from their clients seldom seen in the construction industry, which in turn continues to attract a team of talented and outstanding professionals. Peter is a graduate of the Leadership DeKalb Class of 2011, the 2014-2015 President of the Rotary Club of Decatur, a past board member of The Waldorf School of Atlanta, and mentors in Emory’s Start:ME program.
