Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
SOLID BUILD outdoor wood projects has been in business for 15 years. Fifteen of those initial years in Europe and the recent 3 years operating in the United States.
What is your primary product or service?
Our primary product line is a mix of outdoor accessory buildings, namely, solid wood sheds, Garden sheds, Cabins, Tool sheds, Pool cabanas and related buildings, all in an easy do-it-yourself kit format. This is the only high quality all wood product available on the market that allows for easy assembly.
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
I was previously involved with a national shed company for 7 years. I noticed the product quality deteriorating over the course of that time period. After leaving, I researched a new start up company that offered the highest quality in material, hardware and ease of assembly. Many customers I met before hand, wanted to "build their own" but was not available. I researched other shed companies with kits and found them to be very low quality and service. I found SOLID BUILD.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
There are dozens of shed & cabin" companies throughout the United States. Many of them offer ready built or a kit format. Knowing how much Americans "like to build their own", I decided to go this route with SOLID BUILD. They are one of the very few shed and cabin companies that offer "all wood" using Norway spruce, and not some other wood product like; Oreiented Strand Board, Plywood, Chip Board or other wood by products. Also, most other shed or cabin kit companies use very cheap wood, thin veneers with few having any strenght in the end product. The roof deck is solid wood and the moedels with flooring are all wood. This is the best long lasting and functional hardware, as well.
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
SOLID BUILD outdoor wood projects "is not a brick and mortar" business. We are a website based company with warehouses in Texas, Illinois and California. Our California warehouse will supply the Hawaii and Pacific markets. We are also establishing a dealer network for those Garden Centers or Landscape companies who might be interested. Whichever the case, product will be shipped free, "curbside" in the 48 continuous states, but will need to charge for container shipping to off mainland locations.
Provide detailed directions to your location
www.woodenshedkits.com. Remember, we do not have a "brick and mortar" business, which enables us to offer a higher quality product at a lower kit price.
What type of payments do you accept?
All major credit cards and Pay Pal. All orders are prepaid in full.
Which areas do you service?
SOLID BUILD will ship orders factory direct anywhere in the world. Within the 48 continuous states, "curbside delivery" is free on our "stock items" within two weeks from time of order. Hawaii and Alaska will require a substantial delivery fee because of container and over water shipping rates. Also, anywhere else in the world, the customer would arrange their own shipping and delivery. MOST CUSTOMERS OUTSIDE THE DIRECT SHIP AREA ARRANGE THEIR OWN SHIPPING.
Who owns your company or runs daily operations?
We are considered a small company. Andrew Slizius is the President. Tom Lichon assists in marketing, customer service, sales and order processing. Justin assists with sales and customer service on the East coast.
What are your hours of operation?
You can call our toll free number, (888) 713-4308, Monday - Saturday, 8:00 AM - 7:00 PM Central time
What is the best compliment anyone can give you?
Product wise, "Your shed & cabin products looked great on the website, when I/we assembled it, our Garden shed was even more beautiful than we expected". Another great comment, "We looked at so many other shed kits, some more and others less in price, but when we went to your website and spoke with you folks, we recieved the best service and information possible".
What is your favorite quote or Bible verse?
