Federal Brace's Spotlight Blog : Fireplace & Granite

One year ago Federal Brace had the honor of meeting Bob & Paulette from Fireplace & Granite. Even though both companies are from the Charlotte, North Carolina area they met each other in Atlanta, Georgia at the IWF Woodworking Show. Ever since Fireplace & Granite placed its first order with Federal Brace they have noted how pleasurable it is to work with a company that recognizes the importance of quality and serving the customer’s needs as they do.

Bob has over thirty years of experience working in the fireplace business. When Bob & Paulette relocated from Buffalo, New York a few years back, their drive and focus steered towards new construction. But times and the economy have changed. “For the most part, we have gotten rid of our builders. It’s all about remodeling,” Bob says.

Even with the adapting change in the economy, business has been up 30% the last four years and 98% of their business comes from referrals. Their business has been able focus on rebuilders and remodelers with in the Charlotte, Charleston and Columbia regions. Outdoor slabs and show rooms are available in North & South Charlotte.

Federal Brace is proud to do business with a company such as Fireplace & Granite.
