There are two ways to grow a business: increase volume or add value. At some point, each company must decide which of these will become its guiding principle.
After graduating from The University of Washington School of Business, the owner, Harley Anderson, had an opportunity to open a small roofing company in 1998. He chose to succeed in a crowded market by being more accountable, competent and creative than the competition; he chose to provide homeowners with the greatest value.
By bringing the best crews and specialists together under one roof and one vision, Versatile Home Improvement leaves nothing to chance. The first major step in this direction occurred in 2000, when we purchased Pacific Northwest Skylights, the area’s premier skylight installation contractor.
In 2002, Harley recruited Todd Brown, then a sales rep for Velux Skylights who shared Harley’s vision for an integrity-driven, all-in-one home improvement company. In the years since they joined forces, Harley and Todd have grown the business to employ over 60 highly valued team members and diversified the company’s offerings to include windows and doors, siding, gutters, sunrooms, decks and remodeling in addition to roofs and skylights.
Today, Versatile Home Improvement is one of the most respected roofing and home improvement contractors in the Northwest. They credit this success to the extraordinary relationships they’ve built with customers, suppliers and employees through face-to-face contact and a commitment to constantly expanding the definition of full-service.
