The owners of Towers, David and Thalea Torres,
both started in construction at a young age and moved on to work for many years in large scale
commercial construction as can be seen on our resume pages. However when we
started our own firm in 1994, we got involved in residential
construction and found that we had an affinity for it. We both enjoy
working closely with owners to "build their dreams". The
following explains how we work and why our clients keep coming back to us again and again:
COMFORT: Going through a
construction project is always challenging, but we work very hard to make the
process as comfortable as possible. Often our clients stay in their homes while
their project is in progress and we make sure everything is kept safe and
properly barricaded. Clean up is constant and utilities are kept on with
minimal interruption. And, because clients will have to live with their
neighbors long after we are gone, we work diligently to insure positive
neighbor relations are maintained with respect to working hours, noise, parking
etc. We find that our most appreciative clients are those who have already been
through a difficult remodel.
COST: Cost, of course, is
always an issue regardless of a client's budget. Whenever possible, we offer
value engineering advice (ways to keep costs down while still maintaining
quality). But furthermore, we do all of our work on a "Not to Exceed"
basis. This means that we give the client a firm price for the work and then we
keep accurate track of the costs. If the project goes over budget, the client
pays the quoted price. If the project cost comes in lower than expected, the
client gets the savings. Most owners aren't even aware of this option (and
also very few contractors are willing to do it), but we have made it our
standard practice because we know it is the fairest way to work with our
clients.
GREEN BUILDING: These
days "Green" is the big catchword in the building industry. The reality is that we have been environmentally conscious since back in the days
when the term "green" usually referred to areas of a golf course or the color of
leaves. Thalea did her senior paper in college on "Energy Use
in Buildings" which looked at alternative energy solutions. We are both well versed in the recycling of construction materials, utilizing
recycled and environmentally safe products and most of all, saving energy, and
we'll be happy to help you incorporate these concepts into your project.
OUR COMMITMENT: Like many good contractors, we are committed to providing quality construction
for a reasonable cost. Additionally, our goal on every project is to have our
clients be as pleased at the end of the job as they were when the work
began. We constantly aim to be at the top of the list of contractors that clients
would use for their future projects or would recommend to their business
associates, friends or family.
THE LAST WORD: As our past clients already know, we can both be counted on to always give our honest opinion
and more importantly, we truly care about our customers.
