Ranney Blair Weidmann

Ranney Blair Weidmann is the culmination of decades of expertise and dedication in the home remodeling industry. Our journey began distinctly with two paths—Ranney Blair and Weidmann & Associates.

Founded in 2014 by Peter Ranney and Scott Blair, Ranney Blair started by handling small jobs as a typical bid-build contractor. We recognized the need to provide a more integrated, client-focused service, so we transitioned to a design-build approach. This shift allowed us to offer comprehensive solutions, ensuring every aspect of a project perfectly aligns with our client’s visions and lifestyles.

Weidmann Remodeling was established in 1989 and quickly became one of the most trusted and recognized renovation and remodeling firms in the greater Atlanta area. Known for our commitment to client satisfaction, Weidmann won numerous awards for our innovative designs and exceptional service quality.

In 2023, a strategic consolidation took place. Weidmann Remodeling merged with Ranney Blair Remodeling, creating Ranney Blair Weidmann Remodeling. This partnership has strengthened our capabilities and broadened our reach, ensuring we continue serving the Atlanta area with unparalleled design and remodeling services.

“Designed For Living.
Built For Life.”

Eliavah

Written by Garrett Nantz on June 26, 2021. Posted in Meet the Kids.

8 Years Old
Open Heart Surgery, Misophonia

For most of us, the sound of a child’s breathing elicits a sense of tranquility and calm. For nine-year-old Eliavah, the sound of her sister breathing in her sleep is far worse than the proverbial fingernails on a chalkboard. Eliavah suffers from misophonia, which creates intense fight or flight responses and anxiety triggered by specific sounds many people don’t even notice. It is one of many diagnoses she has, including Tetralogy of Fallot, congenital heart abnormalities for which she had surgery at four months, hypotonia, which contributed to her pervasive developmental delays in both fine and gross motor skills and ADHD. Eliavah is not able to share a bedroom with her sister as the sound causes great anxiety and affects her sleep. Her day to day life is quite stressful as her body physically reacts to trigger noises, yet she keeps her positive attitude and love for learning.

Eliavah suffers from misophonia, which creates intense fight or flight responses and anxiety triggered by specific sounds many people don’t even notice.

Since she cannot share a room with her sister, Eliavah currently sleeps in her baby brother’s room, and he sleeps in their parent’s room. It is not easy for Eliavah to find a place in her home where she can unwind and safely escape the many stimuli of a typical family home.
Eliavah’s parents would love to turn their dining room into a bedroom for her. They imagine a place where Eliavah will have a sensory-friendly sanctuary of her own. Like most nine-year-old girls, she would love to listen to her favorite music ( David Bowie and Michael Jackson) in a bean bag chair surrounded by her stuffed animals, barbies, and crafts without stimuli that trigger negative responses. Eliavah’s heart has remained healthy, and she has such a passion and love for life. One day she hopes to be a Vet or maybe even be in a band with her best friend, her sister.

A new bedroom in the home would not only enable Eliavah to safely escape from the sensory overload of day to day life, but it will also allow her brother to move to his own room. Eliavah’s dedicated parents will have their bedroom to themselves – something most of us take for granted, and the peace of mind that Eliavah is safe and comfortable.
