Putting the Art in Artisan

Seton Hall University.

In one of the many praises we have received in the past year for exceptional work a recent project completed at Seton Hall University garnered the following:

As we are wrapping up the project I wanted to compliment you and your team on the really nice work. The craftsmanship was outstanding and received numerous compliments from The University’s team. I had the opportunity to meet your foreman Tom (Thomas Arthur Jr.) and some of his team. They put tremendous pride into their work. Tom was particularly proud of the work involving the pirate head just inside the main entrance.

Thank you and we all look forward to working together in the future.

There is only one boss...

The customer.

And he can fire everyone in the company,
from the chairman on down,
simply by
spending his money somewhere else.
