I definitely prefer Steve's design (with some tweaking, e.g., the black on green is a bit hard to read). I agree with his point that using the same color scheme in all your marketing material increases the impact and retention of your publicity efforts. His design looks simple and suitable for such a company. I would replace the white with the background color that you use on the website, preferably using colored stock.
In principle I agree that a business card should be kept simple, but in this case I think that listing the company's many specialized renovation activities is important. A business card such as this one may very well be passed on to friends or family members and end up in a kitchen drawer for a while and then resurface. The business card is then able to tell the whole story in one flash.
I would use sturdy, heavy-weight, textured but uncoated stock that gives the card a feeling of quality and durability (commensurate with those of the company's services) and that can survive well in such places as a kitchen drawer. Perhaps that (parts of) the logo could be embossed.
