Have a New More Energy Efficient Home at the Same Address with K-Designers
K-Designers, one of the west coast’s biggest exterior remodeling businesses, started with a 1978 hail storm that struck the city of Casper, Wyoming. Hail damage to buildings there was so widespread local contractors could not meet demand for all the insurance claims. Siblings Lee and Larry Judson came to town, hammers in hand, to help out short term. They ended up staying on, mastering exterior remodeling and forming K-Designers.
The brothers never set out to build a national brand, but through a tight focus on doing one thing and doing it well, K-Designers eventually grew to over 900 staff in 11 locations serving 18 states. For the first decade or so, K-Designers focused exclusively on exterior siding, perfecting their systems and supply chain. Gradually they added replacement windows and exterior doors. As the company has grown in size, they have been able to get better pricing and service from manufacturers, which has helped them make their installations even smoother, more reliable and cost effective.
Larry also saw that a larger firm could leverage its buying power to acquire major service and pricing from suppliers. K-Designers is able to buy all of its products, even nails, directly from the manufacturer. He also centralized all back office operations to headquarters to create a lean, mean exterior improvements machine that delivers quality work that saves homeowners money up front and over the long term.
K-Designers Testimonials
Its a system that has delivered quality results for thousands of homeowners. “We purchased a siding job from K-Designers and they delivered on their promise. They answered our questions, noted the potential problems and assured us that everything would be completed to our satisfaction”, says Senator Charles Starr, a Hillboro, Orgeon homeowner.
While the construction industry as a whole has been contracting for the past couple of years, K-Designers has been growing through a three-pronged plan of acquisitions, extending the product line and reaching out to its client base of 100,000 with special offers. K-Designers is actively seeking qualified individuals in many states to join their team.
