Evan and Kelly Sluder took over the company in 2006, and the years since have proven Marjorie chose well.
Kelly took after her mother. She runs the retail side with the same instinct Marjorie had for it — knowing the products cold, knowing the customers better, and making sure nobody leaves the store with something they didn’t need. The counter still works the way it always has, because Kelly never saw a reason to change what her mother got right.
Evan built out the construction side into what it is today. Under him, the company grew from installs into full-scale outdoor construction — excavation, hardscape, and complex builds on terrain most contractors won’t touch. He set a standard for the crews that matches the one Marjorie set at the counter: do it right the first time, and stand behind it after.
Twenty years in, they’ve grown this company considerably without loosening a single thing that made it worth growing.
The Third Generation
Carson Sluder earned his general contractor’s license at 21. It’s a credential most people in this trade spend years working toward, and most who hold it came to it well into a career. He grew up on these job sites, and he was ready to run them the day the state said he could.
He came up through every part of this company: the store, the crews, the paperwork. That range shows in the work. Carson handles projects from residential builds on terrain other contractors turn down to large-scale commercial aquatic work, and he handles them end to end — reading the site, pricing the job, running the logistics, and standing on the property until it’s finished right.
What he inherited from his grandmother and his parents isn’t a company so much as a way of doing business. Marjorie’s straight talk. Kelly’s care for the customer. Evan’s refusal to cut a corner where nobody would see it. Carson runs on all three, and the third generation of this family is building work that would make the first proud.
