The Remod Squad®

Remodelers wish to and should be taken seriously. Scherer Brothers Lumber Company believes that is the first rule of serving the fastest growing sector of our industry. Remodeling is as much an art as it is a science. It is dramatically different than new home sales and requires an entirely different service model. That is why we have developed the only dedicated sales team just for remodelers - The Remod Squad®.

Remodelers have told us in no uncertain terms what they want in a long-term relationship:

• Own my problems - regardless of who is to blame I need the best solution as quickly as possible.
• Provide a consistent, smooth sales experience - regardless of whom I talk to or where I get my materials.
• Know my operation so well that you can be an extension of my business - even to the point of meeting with my customers and me as my supply expert.
• Keep me informed - not just of the latest products, but also offer me education.
• Protect my reputation - nothing is worse than looking bad in front of my customers.

So what are the benefits of having a senior Remod Squad salesperson?

• Financial incentives such as discounts for growth partners.
• A single contact for everything meaning fewer calls to get answers and action.
• A long-term growth partner who will stand by you through the hard times.
• Resource management - your Remod Squad salesperson is your conductor. He or she orchestrates the products and services available at 5 locations so you don't have to worry about quality, availability, or delivery.

History of The Remod Squad®

1997 - In response to remodeler comments about the need for dedicated sales staff and focused products, Scherer Brothers began pulling together a group of sales people to deal solely with Remodelers. In the years that followed the Scherer Brothers sales team, The Remod Squad®, grew and so did the opportunities for remodelers: from new remodeling only products to educational seminars and presentation kits to help our customers sell more successfully. Scherer Brothers involvement in the remodeling industry grew as well, with substantial monetary contributions in support of industry associations.

The Remod Squad® believes the future of remodeling is extremely bright. Our goal is to help lead the way.

"It's really nice to make one phone call, order what you need and know it's going to be there. You don't have to sit and chase it down." - Dave Neujar, Neujar Remodeling

"The Remod Squad is one of the leaders in the field in training individuals, carpenters, and guys out in the field on how to wrap windows properly to help prevent water intrusion. Those kind of proactive moves are very, very important." - Jim McDonald, McDonald Remodeling

"I buy from The Remod Squad because my salesperson knows. He knows the products and the building codes." - Randall Hobbs, Residential Renewal Inc.

"The Remod Squad always offers a wide range of materials and products that really fit what we do and lately they've been really interested in making sure that they're out in the forefront of new materials and changes and things that work better than things that we've had." - John Sylvestre, Sylvestre Construction
