our story.
Hi, All!
I’m Alyssa Cool-Marcotte, the owner, co-founder, designer, assistant to the contractor and anything else I might have to do at Sherwood & Co. Homes.
In 2019, my husband, Jared and I were newly-weds realizing the many frustrations of being first-time homebuyers. Every house we looked at was “fixed up” but not fixed up well. The properties were flipped by massive corporations quickly flipping multiple houses at once to make fast money.
So, instead of settling on one of these houses, we decided to find a house and flip it ourselves, the right way! After completely flipping our quaint Broad Ripple house, we fell in love with the renovation process and Sherwood & Co. Homes was born.
Jared and I knew we could not do all of this work on our own, so recruited my parents to join in on the fun. My dad, Richard Cool, has been flipping homes for 20 years and is the brains of the operation. My wonderful mother, Bettina Cool, focuses on the logistics, keeping the projects and people in line. I come up with the design plans, my father tells us what we need to do, my mother tells us how we need to do it, and my amazing husband puts in the work!
Our business values family and honest hard-work. Sherwood & Co. Homes is named after my Grandfather, Don Sherwood Cool. He is the one who taught my father everything he knows, and now my dad is passing that knowledge down to me.
We loved buying and renovating our home and knew we could make a positive impact in the Indianapolis community by doing this for others. Follow along on our journey by following our Instagram.
Warmly,
