Virginia Van Lear
Partner, General Contractor

Virginia Van Lear has been building and renovating homes in the Atlanta area since 1996. Virginia is a Licensed Residential Contractor and Earth Craft Certified Builder. She is also an extremely hands-on contractor which is very atypical in today’s environment. She has been involved in all types of home projects, has vast experience with all ranges of projects, and absolutely loves what she does.

She is one of only a handful of female contractors in Atlanta and has found that to be a powerful advantage over some other contractors. Virginia also holds an art degree from the University of Ga. As an artist, builder and mother of two, Virginia sincerely grasps the nuances of what makes a renovation project stay on schedule and on budget while also working with the homeowner to enjoy the process.

Virginia lives one block away from Debbie with her two teenage children, Bella and Foster, and has at least 2 dogs at all times.

Debbie Hollonbeck
Partner, General Contractor

Like Virginia, Debbie Hollonbeck has an artful background. But after years of teaching art in elementary schools—Debbie was ready for new challenges. She aspired to find a niche that tapped into both her busy visual right-brain and her analytical left. 

Debbie indulged her long-time interest of home restoration and began renovating homes with her husband Scot. After her first project—renovating their bungalow in Inman Park—she was hooked. They built their next home in Oakhurst with the help of a local builder. It turned out home renovation and building was Debbie's ideal “brain-mix” and parlayed her design and project management skills into a full-time position with that local builder for over six years.

Now Debbie is a partner at Level Craft—bringing her rich and varied toolbox of talent to every custom job. Partner and founder of Level Craft Virginia Van Lear says, "Debbie's enthusiasm is refreshing and her ability to problem-solve keeps every project running smoothly. If it weren't for Debbie, I'd be up nights worrying about every detail." Debbie lives in a beautifully renovated Decatur home with her husband Scot, her daughter Abby and their three over-zealous dogs.
