pledge to communicate effectively, return all telephone calls by the next
business day and treat everyone's property with respect.

A Brief History:
In 1982 Dave was looking for
a business idea. He had heard the horror stories of the contractors that
had shown up for their first draw and then disappeared or about those who were
no-shows for appointments or did not return telephone calls and the ones whose
work was sub-standard. It occurred to him that there was an opportunity
for someone in the residential remodeling industry who was none of the
above. The company started as a handyman business and operated as Homeowner's
Handyman. After a few years the projects were larger and even though
he continued to do repairs it was evident that the Company name did not convey
the true nature of what the business had become. So in 1985 Dave changed
the name of the Company to Taylormade Home Improvements and in 1992
incorporated as Taylor-Made Services, Inc. The business is built on
referrals from current and past clients and has never formally advertised in any
media.
