Why I Invested In The Most Amazing Home Improvement Contractor Building In The World.

Connecticut Basement Systems

In 2018, After Being In Business For 31 Years And Persistently Growing Out Of Our Physical Space, I Decided It Was Time To Do Something Bold For My Team At Connecticut Basement Systems.

We had fixed and were responsible for the work we had done in over 70,000 homes in Connecticut and Westchester and Putnam counties, and our reputation was only bringing us more and more customers each year. 

We are located in the only commercial park in our town of Seymour CT.

We were the largest employer in this town of 15,000 people.  20 years earlier I had to foresight to buy all the undeveloped lots in the park.  I combined two of them and drew up the plans.

We would build a building that would allow us to be as efficient and productive as possible in service to our customers.  A specially built building that could be found nowhere else in the world.

This is the result 

It features -

- 48 garage doors where we can park all our trucks inside, arranged in three wings like airport terminals.
- Two mechanics bays where our mechanics can maintain our fleet to keep it safe.
- Enough supply space and tool cribs so we never run out of suppliers our customers need.
- Locker rooms for our technicians
- Four training rooms including our Invictus theater upstairs where all 260 employees can get together at once.
- A cafeteria (named “Leslie’s Place” after my Mom who worked here for 21 years). 
- The second floor is designed so schedulers and managers sit next to windows to look over the trucks they schedule and manage. 
- An appointment center and production scheduling with all the technology to make sure our 65 trucks and 34 system design representatives are always where we promised they would be and prepared for the job. 275 parking spaces.
- An auxiliary garage with room for 18 trucks.

For me, my team and my company is that amazing thing. I’m all in. I, and all the members of my team want to be the best home repair/improvement contractor anyone has ever experienced. The work we do is not easy.  
It’s dirty, heavy, specialized work – and that’s why people hire us to do it.  But we approach it as professionals who want to be the best at it.
