Act I · Under one roof
Since 1978, the person who designs your room and the person who runs the build answer to the same roof.
Dan Polin and Ken Whitmire started with exterior renovations, then moved to Souderton in 1990 to specialize in kitchens and baths. Dan oversees sales, design and estimating; Ken runs the schedule and the installation of every project.
