Over the past 30 years, K-Designers has grown from a four-person construction business based in Casper, Wyoming to one of the Wests largest home remodeling contracting companies. It all originated because of a hail storm; a big one that damaged most of that city. Two siblings, Lee and Larry Judson, knew there was lots of reconstruction to be done, and they showed up hammers in hand hoping to stay six months and make a little money. They ended up staying a year, learning the business and opening a second office in Billings, Montana before spreading out all over the western U.S..
Although the siblings never intended to create a nationwide brand, they hit on a system that works and the company took off, growing to over 900 personnel in 11 offices serving 18 states. One key to K-Designers success has been doing one thing and doing it well. K-Designers focuses exclusively on exterior improvements and works directly with a handful of manufacturers, so they are able to deliver and install quality products economically and at a fair price.
Back office operations are centralized in the businesss Sacramento, CA headquarters, while field offices concentrate on sales and service. Everyone trains at headquarters before going out into the field. Their contractor was first rate. They made sure we knew when the dry rot was removed and replaced. With more than 20 years experience as a general contractor, I recognize good workmanship, he says. The premises were left clean and we are totally pleased.
K-Designers Testimonials
“The whole design team was wonderful. From our sales associate to the installer, the transition from the old to the new went off without a hitch”, says Teresa OLoughlin, a Portland, OR homeowner who hired K-Designers to install new living room windows. “This is the second career K-Designers has done for us and we will continue to use them as long as we keep upgrading our home”, she says.
K-Designers is bucking the downtrend in the construction industry with growth plans that include widening to new markets by way of acquisitions, diversifying its product line for different geographical areas and marketing to its present base of over 100,000 customers. K-Designers is one of the few construction firms that is actively seeking new employees and offers good prospects for career development over the next few years.
