Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
I have been in business building custom decks in the Omaha area for 21 years.
What is your primary product or service?
Designing and building custom decks of all shapes, sizes and product types. These days I build more with composite and PVC based decking products than with cedar or other wood products. When I named my company 20+ years ago, composite decking was just entering the deck market!
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
I worked as a framer through high school and really liked being a part of the building process. I always wanted to be my own boss so I started my own decking company. I've been swinging a hammer for a living ever since.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
I feel that I truly care about what my customers want to do and what they can afford. I help them design and budget for their new deck by offering options and opinions honestly. I often encourage customers to wait until they can save the money to complete their project the way they want with the materials and extras they have in mind. I really care that they get the end result they want and not just settle for less so I can get their job! Our company motto is "Building every deck like it's our own".
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
Just one..with NO plans to expand. I operate my business out of my home with the help of my wife who handles all of the "non-building" parts of my business as well as helping me at times with the building part! We have 6 children and we decided long ago that running our business out of our home was easier and would cost less in overhead (& daycare!). We are happy with the amount of business we do each year and are content with what we have.
Provide detailed directions to your location
My "showroom" is in the back seat of my truck! I set appointments to meet customers at their homes for both their convenience as well as my being able to view the area where they want to build their deck. I bring brochures, product samples (in all different colors)and photo albums of my work to my customers so they don't have to leave the comfort of their own home.
What type of payments do you accept?
I accept Cash, Personal Checks and MasterCard or VISA.
Which areas do you service?
Omaha Metro Area (Douglas & Sarpy County)as well as Cass County, Saunders County, Washington County & Lancaster County
Who owns your company or runs daily operations?
I own my company and I run the daily operations. I am the ONLY person the customer meets with to design and develop plans for their project as well as the person who shows up to build it! This makes it convenient for the customer in that I am very flexible to be able to make custom changes for the customer as the job progresses.
What are your hours of operation?
I don't really have set hours. I am generally available by phone from 5:00am to 10:00pm every day. And, yes, I build decks year round if the weather is being cooperative.
