With the holidays approaching and the year winding through, it’s a perfect time to reflect on a company culture. What works? What didn’t work? For us here at Team Faroe we want to take a quick moment and discuss what works for us. We feel we are making some truly great connections with suppliers, clients, peers, and sub-trades.
1. COMMUNICATION. We clearly lay out details, material selections, delays, changes etc. My wife sometimes jokingly asks why I’m texting back a client at midnight on a Friday but it’s reliability, trust and knowing that we can be reached. We build trust with our honesty. Clear questions or answers on a site meeting or project schedule can alleviate the fear and anxiety of a renovation. Consistent updates can make a project feel more collaborative and engaging.
2. THE A-TEAM. A renovation quickly becomes rewarding and justified when everybody involved is aiming for the highest level of quality. It’s taken us years to find what we consider the best sub-trades, suppliers and industry colleagues. That’s the full package that we bring to a renovation - tradesmen who are highly skilled and specialized. Craftsmen that respect the clients and their homes and enjoy what they do for a living; always striving to be better.
3. SMALL COMPANY. We don’t lose you in the shuffle. We’re never too busy to get back to you. We generally work on one project at a time and this allows for all the details to be covered, and for very clear communication as you see us every day. We do almost all of the work in-house (except for licensed sub-trades) which allows for consistent quality levels, schedule flexibility and fluidity, and of course, no delays.
4. PASSION FOR OLD HOMES. We don’t only work on older homes, but we definitely have a specialty for them. From full remodels to blending new trim, paint or plaster works - it takes a lot of care and craft to renovate thoughtfully.
5. DESIGN SENSE. The background of the ownership of Team Faroe is in music, writing, and film with a serious hobby and appreciation for all different types of art and craft. We thoroughly enjoy piecing a project’s materials together and find it exciting to be creative in that realm. That’s the boutique angle of the company defined for us as making your space customized and unique.
