A Renovator Renovates

Surviving the economic storm Albrecht and Son gears up for growth

A few years ago when the economy severly slumped, Albrecht and Son had to make cuts within the budget and loose such luxuries as a showroom, diverse advertisement and many of our skilled employees. Since then, we have been able to slowly build back up our showroom, our diverse advertisement, as well as a well trained office and field staff. 

"I am contracting more large remodel projects now," explains owner Tom Albrecht, "It's due to the snowbirds selling their homes back East to save money." There have been notable increases in permanent residency in the Sun Cities communities. "And once the lady of the house realizes she is going to be staying in what has been a vacation house for good, she is demanding they upgrade. So kitchens, bathrooms and a lot of addition projects are filling our books."

Albrecht and Son for over 22 years, has been nestled in the midst of the Dell Web development communities and has serviced thousands of residents and businesses.  Additionally, they have build a showroom at the office location instead of a secondary spot. Creating space for offices, training and client targeted showcases. 

"We are paced to make it out of the crunch by the end of this year. At that time, the showroom will take on another renovation, with active bathroom displays, Safety Tub models and interactive design stations. We may start to experience the need to expand and add on to our building too," Tom jokingly states.

It is certain, that at Albrecht and Son, they are doing things well and are rising above the ashes of an economic wasteland.   *Update: Grand Season 2011 Business Profile of ALbrecht and Son.
