Grove Custom Homes
Additionally , Grove Homes is in the final stages of a large remodel , located on the Oregon coast , around 800 yards from the beach . The property is high up in the hills and is being remodeled with the dynamic views in mind , with plenty of glass being installed to maximize natural light and enable full appreciation of the surrounding environment .
“ We are really good at what we do , and I ’ d say our niche is large projects ,” states Grove . “ The custom home sector of the business really took off for us in 2010 , and the success has continued ever since . Our projects have a typical build cycle of between 14 months and two years , so we only ever have four homes under construction at any time . This enables us to really get to know a client and take time to deliver all the details and specifications they want .
“ One of the best feelings is walking around a house at the very end and seeing clients thrilled with their new home ,” Grove reflects . “ It ’ s great to see clients a few months after they ’ ve moved in and to hear their positive feedback about how much they love their home . I also love the construction process though ; I enjoy it right from the excavation point all the way through to finishing touches , and everything in between . I love seeing all the pieces that come together to build something amazing from nothing !
“ The business has been successful over the last 25 years because we have always done the right thing ,” he continues . “ We consistently deliver high-quality craftsmanship , and we have many repeat clients , which is testament to our work . I believe that if you work hard and do the right thing , meaning you build a great product and are honest with your clients , then success is sure to follow .”
People first
Grove ’ s philosophy stems from his father : “ My father always instilled a strong work ethic in me ; he would tell me to be honest ,
and if you are going to do something , do it well and do it right . You don ’ t come across individuals with this quality very often , so I do my best to hold onto them when I do !
“ Of course , I would not be successful without my wife , Carey , who has supported me in growing the company . She is a real team player and has worked with me while progressing her own career as a successful realtor .
“ I often think about the growth of the business in the future and although there are many uncertainties , one thing I know for sure is that to grow a business , you need support in place from the right people , but good people are increasingly hard to find ,” Grove concludes . “ So , overall , future growth depends on our workload moving forward , but we will continually strive to be a highquality , customer-oriented homebuilder .” ■
