“You need to create an enjoyable experience for customers when they’re shopping with you, on the telephone, meeting with a designer. We want to build customers for life, and experience is how we do that.”
JC Licht
Elliot Greenberg, President & CEO
“You have to love what you do to be good at this business. I love getting to know contractors and trying to fulfill their needs. I love the people I work with. We come together to serve customers and serve each other.”
