WILL COLE

Houston Remodeler

As soon as you meet Will, you get the impression he is not your average Builder/ Home Remodeler.

It’s more than his positive attitude and gentleman like politeness – “Have I called you at a good time?” or the way he quietly listens to your needs and creates numerous possibilities.

If you ask his secret to success, Will says, “ I am just a steward of Gods things and his people. Everything I have, success, clients and friends do not belong to me, they all belong to God. I do my best every day as thanks for the gifts I have been given.”

Indeed Will is a different breed. He was an Aerospace Ground Support and Aircraft Mechanic with the US Air Force, Graduated from Embry Riddle Aeronautical University, worked as an Engineer for Bernard Controls/Bettis and he was a Product Support Manager at The Friedkin Companies and a District Rep for Gulf States Toyota. He has flown planes in the United Kingdom and piloted yachts across oceans and currently charters sailboats out of Kemah. He is also an avid motorcycle rider and cyclist, not what you would expect from someone who makes his living remodeling homes. Click here to read An Interview with the Founder.
