APBS hosts demo with Cullum Homes
When it comes to building a custom home, the window and door installations are more than just functional; they are pivotal design elements that set the tone for the entire space. Choosing the right supplier and understanding the installation process can make or break the final product.
On October 22, APBS hosted Cullum Homes for a luncheon and warehouse demonstration. During the session, APBS experts Victor Carrillo, Field Project Manager; Mike Turner, Installation Manager; and Jim McNamara, Installation Manager; provided valuable training on Andersen Aluminum products, covering key areas such as window installation, window opening preparation, and flashing techniques. The hands-on discussions and demonstrations helped ensure a shared understanding of best practices and product features.
The demonstration also highlighted the importance of skilled labor in custom home installations. The crew exhibited expert craftsmanship, with each window and door being carefully installed to maintain structural integrity and aesthetics. This level of precision is what custom home builders and homeowners look for to achieve their ideal living spaces.
“The event was an excellent opportunity to strengthen our working relationship and foster collaboration between our teams,” said Turner. “We look forward to working together to achieve continued success.”
Thank you to everyone who participated in the successful training event hosted here at APBS!
