Jon Vogel, New Outlooks Construction Group, Robbinsville, N.J.
Project: In 2002, Vogel moved his 20 employees into a newly remodeled office, warehouse, and showroom.
Method: Vogel and his crews remodeled the space in their spare time over a three-year-period.
Lesson learned: With the project ringing in at $100,000, double the budget, Vogel advises others to “have a firm budget and a completed design before you move.”
Bonus: Vogel can now wow customers with his full-service showroom. “It’s created a lot more trust,” he says. “People see the investment that we made and the professionalism.”
