| HOW I PRODUCE EXCEPTIONAL RESULTS FOR MY CUSTOMERS This may sound cliché but it is true nonetheless; there are no new fundamentals. Be sincere. Care about what your customer's needs and wants are. Be on time. Be professional. Do your very best every time you get a chance to work. This creates a good name for your business. This is my philosophy. Southeast Volusia Building and Remodeling is your Low Risk Provider of complete kitchen, bath, and interior remodeling services. We are a well established firm with a brick and mortar showroom displaying products from well established suppliers and working with a limited number of well established subcontractors. These aren't only my subs, they are also my friends and they work very hard for me. We produce predictable results and have frequent referrals from past customers. I am a working Owner. I am on every job overseeing not only the day-to-day work but the quality of the end product. I design all of the cabinetry we sell and install. I use cabinet specific CAD design software to give you the very best design possible. Together we personalize it until it's perfect for you. I wanted to offer not only a superior turn key product but I wanted to do it faster than my competition without sacrificing quality in any aspect of the work so in 2009 I started Volusia Granite and Marble. When we install cabinets, the templates are usually made the same day. Counters are typically installed within 4 or 5 days. I challenge any other local Kitchen Contractor to provide this time line. My competitor's typical wait for counter tops is 10 to 14 days! Not with my Firm. My employees wear company shirts. They are cordial and polite. They do not use profanity and they do not have a dozen empty beer bottles rolling around in the beds of their trucks. They will not leave cigarette butts on your doorstep. They understand what I expect in terms of quality customer service. More importantly, they understand what you expect. Interior Remodeling, kitchen design and bathroom design, and altering your home's mechanical, electrical, plumbing, or structural systems isn't for amateurs or handymen. It's a profession within a profession, so beware who you hire. You have my promise that if you employ my Firm, I will provide the finest construction services available anywhere at any price.

| AND MY PHILOSOPHY ON THE PRODUCTS I CHOOSE TO SELL There are hundreds of cabinet companies out there. As I said on the main page, there are only a few major differences in the actual cabinets. Particle board boxes or plywood... Maple, Oak, Hickory, Alder or Cherry... full overlay or face frame, Grass closers and guides or Blume. Beyond this it's all relative! We have looked at every possible supplier to settle on one custom builder and three major by-order suppliers that offer virtually everything you could possibly desire from economy to high line! We considered value and quality, lack of problems with the delivered order, delivery time, and after sale service when we made these decisions. These four cabinet manufacturers build beautifully crafted cabinets in an incredible range of sizes, styles and finishes and these cabinets are built to specification based on a design the Contractor and customer create together. Selecting the right company to assist you in the planning of your new kitchen, pantry, or bathroom is very important and incorporating this planning into your office, home, kitchen, or bath remodel is crucial to having a better end product. There are even more tile distributors than there are cabinet companies. I belong to a Contractor's Wholesale Association, ProSource, where Contractors join with a membership to have a showroom the size of a grocery store. Really, it's that big! In my own showroom we have a tile and flooring center with glass, stone, ceramics and porcelain, wood- both laminated and engineered, and carpet, all with the idea that the products should be from stable and reliable manufacturers, of good quality, and at fair pricing. Consequently, I only have maybe 100 or 125 varying samples. The suppliers offer to bring me more every time they come in. But my customers rarely need to go to the "grocery store" for more choices. They almost always find something they love in my showroom. The bottom line is that after years of specializing in kitchen renovation we have learned which products consumers are choosing and that's what we display and sell. I'm not saying I won't install something else, I'm just saying that I think we can satisfy almost any taste, from economy to top shelf with the products we've chosen to sell. Come visit the showroom and see what we have to offer! Trace Funderburk President and Owner |
