Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
20 years in business and 35 years in the construction industry
What is your primary product or service?
Interior improvements for owner occupied property that includes kitchens, basements and bathrooms was our main focus until the housing crash of 2008. Restaurant, daycare, retirement and agriculture building renovation helped us survive the downturn and today bathroom and basement renovation leads our re-emergence.
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
I worked five years rental property, five years house building and five years commercial construction while putting myself through college. My project based skills provided the foundation to manage a construction company. In 1992 I choose to focus on interiors only because estimating every task in the construction industry is impossible.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
Specializing in owner occupied renovation means we cross the threshold into the clients personal space. That means you protect the environment while providing courteous, trustworthy and skilled service.
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
Our client base is centered in Bloomington/Normal, although we serve national accounts out of town.
Provide detailed directions to your location
Our heated wood-shop was created in a barn just south of Towanda. Perhaps you have heard of Barn-A-Fair; my crew helps maintain the farm and participates in the annual fair. The first event during the fall of 2010 attracted 400 people.
What type of payments do you accept?
We accept cash and personal checks.
Which areas do you service?
We service Bloomington/Normal and surrounding towns.
Who owns your company or runs daily operations?
David Decker is the principle owner and self performs the day to day operations
What are your hours of operation?
We are available fro 6:00AM to 8:00pm
What is the best compliment anyone can give you?
I introduced the first black van with company graphics into the Bloomington/Normal construction industry, before that every contractor's truck was white. Today nearly every construction company in town has a black truck with graphics; people tell me they see my trucks all over town.
What is your favorite quote or Bible verse?
"She had the strength of two men and the will of eleven." This was a quote from a family friend describing my wonderful Mother-in-Law.
