I started Jim Reif Builders Inc in May 1994 ,” says Jim Reif , as he tells Modern Home Builders the story of his business . “ The first milestone for Jim Reif Builders was moving into our current 6000-square-foot location ,” he goes on . “ It ’ s made up of office space , a fabrication shop , and a warehouse . We ’ ve been there for 22 years .”
When we ask about subsequent milestones , Jim zeroes in on the people involved in the business . “ We have numerous memorable milestones in our history , most of which revolve around our staff ,” he details . “ In 1999 , Tom Arndt joined the company as a designer and estimator , and has played a key role in our growth ever since . His talents and dedication have helped us rise to the top in our industry .
“ Other key staff include Brian Imhoff , who handles our design and estimation processes for our remodeling and new home projects . We also have Nicole Alexander , our accounts specialist , who oversees our financials and ensures we can generate maximum profits .
“ Within the last two years , my son Parker joined as project manager , which was a huge milestone for me both as a business owner and as a father ,” Jim continues . “ Together , Tom and Parker are the future of the company ; both men have great values and will run the company excellently as I look toward retirement in five-to-seven years .”
He adds : “ The business continues to grow because of our dedicated carpentry staff . These are the guys on the front lines , exceeding the expectations of our clients each and every day . They are not only craftsmen , but are great individuals who truly care about what they do ; I am very lucky to have them on our team !
I ’ m extremely proud of the accomplishments the company has achieved – both on a professional level and for myself on a personal level
“ Brian Kohn , one of our senior craftsmen , has been with us for 28 years , and both Matt Hermann and Gregg Luebke have been with us for over 20 years – and this only names a few of our excellent team .” Jim talks a lot about others , which is testament to the kind of business
