Thinking Locally

Joe Bates

It’s one of my big pitch points when talking to perspective clients - but sometimes it gets lost in the shuffle and excitement of being in the middle of a remodel or new project, so I thought I’d post here because I think it’s really one of our core values as a company - when you work with us on a project - especially our concrete, you are getting a handmade custom piece made from scratch right here in the Napa Valley - that’s pretty neat in this day and age.

For us it goes well beyond just living and working here. It extends out to the raw materials we use to make our projects. We are committed to continually searching for and using materials manufactured closer to home. In the world of concrete and steel it’s no easy task, with manufacturers constantly finding new ways to contort the meaning of “Made in the USA.”

Shop smart and shop local!
Happy New Year.
