IN MY OWN WORDS

"I really like Overhead Door products. A lot of folks overlook this heavily used piece of equipment. The garage door is going to be used every day, probably several times a day. It doesn't need to just look good, it needs to hold up under heavy use. Overhead's mechanical openers are one of the fewest call back items I have, and when one of my clients does have an issue, a technician is on the job in no time. In today's market, there's so much focus how a product looks. Overhead's Carriage style doors get the look that my clients are asking for."

 

Sherwin-Williams

The Cashmere Interior Latex Paint from Sherwin-Williams was developed for residential repainting. According to the company, the paint is silky and easy to apply and has a smooth, low stipple finish. It features a self-leveling formula to eliminate brush or roller marks. Click here for more information

IN MY OWN WORDS

"I really like using Sherwin-Williams Cashmere product. The Cashmere product does a great job in covering drywall imperfections and creates a smooth, elegant finished product. Sherwin-Williams has outstanding color selection, which is so important to homeowners when custom building their home."

IN MY OWN WORDS

"Delta faucets continue to be a staple for my company and my clients today. I've been specifying Delta's premier faucets for over 20 years now. My clients love their up-to-date finish and style offerings, and my plumber loves the 'plumber friendly' mechanics of this world-class faucet company."

IN MY OWN WORDS

"Nothing brings more comfort to my clients in initial interviews than to learn that I specify Pella windows and doors for all of my projects. My customers are not the only ones who gain comfort from this knowledge. I know that when I'm using Pella Windows and Doors in my projects that I've got a product in my clients' home that will be there for many years to come. I know Pella will be there in the event that there's a problem."
