There is an art to the design of a kitchen; an art that blends trends, preferences, traditions and expectations to conceive and execute the "perfect" design for each and every space and client. Most well informed clients already have, in their mind's eye, a view of their remodeled kitchen, a concept of how they will use that new space and an style with which they are comfortable. Draw it up an build it! If only it were so easy....
There is a science to the process of rendering a design into the reality of a remodeled kitchen, a new kitchen. Creative forces aside, the process is paramount. There are absolutely no shortcuts allowed in the construction of your dream kitchen.
Excellent management is critical to the ultimate success of each project, and excellent management is experience driven, and based on scientific methodology. That’s a term we all learn in high school, but we seldom apply in life. Our company is built on two very important words, "Perfect Planning" No one, in any field of endeavor can assure "perfect execution" but anyone can create a planning process that results over a period of time, in planning that anticipates problems before they occur, and has the solution for problems as they occur. As problems are worked, and problems will always occur, results are analyzed to determine the cause, and the planning paradigm is modified by each experience. "Perfect Planning" doesn't assure a perfect planning process, but it does assure a perfect result: a space that becomes the kitchen "of your dreams" without the "nightmare" of most remodeling projects.
Working the problem coupled with subjective, objective analysis and planning is the key to a stress free, successful outcome, a” perfect result."
I bring 40 years of experience in management, problem solving, procurement, production and predictable outcome to Georgia Country Kitchens. I have personally designed and installed over 50 kitchens, and have been responsible for the design and installation of hundreds of other kitchens. While I have been a NKBA member in the past, I am not a CKD, a Certified Kitchen Designer, and I am not a CAD expert. I have held FL Licenses as a Mechanical Contractor, and Solar Contractor. I have had experience in "Big Box" retail as a Kitchen and Bath Specialist and Department Head at the Home Depot #104 in Marietta, and as a Plumbing , Kitchen and Bath Zone Manager, and PKB Buyer for Eagle Hardware and Garden Centers in Tukwilla (Seattle), Washington.
As Chief Commercial Procurement Officer at IAT, Inc., in Huntsville Alabama, I instituted purchasing practices and reforms that reduced the cost of building materials by 40% over a period of three months, and assured the lowest cost of highest quality building materials for our panelized housing and pre-fabricated bathroom programs. As Director of Commercial Operations for IAT, Inc., I was responsible for all non-military residential and commercial building programs.
In the course of business, I have restored three historic houses, and am restoring my late father's home, his lodge on Talking Rock Creek, from whence come many of the photographs on this site.
Now, I am anxious to demonstrate that each and every client should have an HGTV experience, without leaving the house, and without construction delays due to personnel, material shortages, inventory shrink, cost cutting code violations and generally sloppy work performed by under motivated, apathetic workers "puttin time, pickin up a check."
Speaking with me, meeting you in your home for an initial visit, discussing your plans for your kitchen space costs nothing. I don't represent any product, I am not a shill for a "certain" line of cabinets or appliances, I bring no contract that needs to be signed, no special offers. I come bearing no gift but that of careful listening and attention to your needs.
I hope you will consider the benefit that my life time of experience offers and call Georgia Country Kitchens today!
