What is your most popular item? Doors, windows and lumber, of course; specifically, Anderson and Marvin doors and windows.

How do you get the word out to people that you are in the Industrial Park? We use local advertising and word of mouth. Other local businesses know we are here.

What is the best thing about having an Industrial Park location? Square footage. The owner had a vision that the growth opportunity would be phenomenal between 80 and 680. This also allows us to have room for displays. For example,  the deck display we are building out front.

As Manager, what would you like customers to know? My goal is to provide the best service available on the market.
