Interesting Facts
- In all, we completed 14 major houses in the last 3 years alone. That is about one every 10 weeks. Reality was 8 deliveries in 12 months, or every 6.5 weeks. Production schedules are good for a week, 2 at the most.
- We sold $2,335,000 in landscaping to 8 of our clients in the last 2 years. George personally selected the materials in 6 states. In 2000 we started a 6 acre private nursery built around George's home. We have a collection of over 100 Japanese Maples over 40 years old each, 60 boxwoods estimated at 60 years each, all kinds of mature shrubs and trees salvaged from demolitions and produce about 3,500 container shrubs annually from cuttings started in a 56' long commercial greenhouse.
- To our knowledge only four sales over $7,500,000 occurred in our market in 2004 and 2005. We were three of the four.
- Of the last 15 homes we built, 13 had swimming pools, 13 had slate roofs and we built 77 fireplaces, an average of 5 per house.
- We estimate 53 miles of crown moulding pieces were installed in 15 homes; that is 3.35 miles per house.
- Only 1 home had Geothermal heating, a $100,000 upgrade.
- We have our own in-house painters. That is what it takes to get our quality.
