Renovation and Re-Construction Runs in the Family at Brownlow and Sons

(EstateNewsWire.com, June 18, 2012 ) Marietta, Georgia -- Family businesses make up 80 to 90% of all businesses in North America, with a similarly high percentage seen in Georgia. According to statistics from the Institute for Family-Owned Business, in any five-year period, almost 40% of family businesses hand the keys to the next generation, but only 40% of those businesses survive to the second generation - and just 12% make it to the third.

Already well into its third generation of family management, the Marietta, Georgia business Brownlow and Sons has been painting, repairing and remodeling Atlanta’s homes and businesses for over 65 years. The company has worked for generations of families, from grandparents to their grandchildren, making its clients’ dream homes and business facilities a reality: painting foyers, renovating kitchens, installing bathrooms, remodeling http://www.brownlowandsons.com/services/construction-remodeling/basements/">basements, designing and installing sunrooms, to name but a few of the services provided.

Brownlow & Sons came into business in 1945, when Roy Brownlow returned from his navy service during World War II, and Roy and his father decided to establish a renovation and remodeling company in the Atlanta area. Over time, other Brownlows joined the company: Dean Brownlow in 1954, followed by Chuck Brownlow in 1980 and by Mark Brownlow in 1983. Under the management of President Chuck Brownlow and Vice President Mark Brownlow, the third generation of Brownlows to run the firm, the company has undergone considerable growth to become one of the Atlanta area’s leading construction and re-construction companies.

As space becomes limited and real estate prices soar, homes and businesses alike are looking to enlarge, enrich and add value to their properties. Brownlow and Sons has recently seen a notable rise in interest in attic and basement remodeling projects. For example, attics, Chuck Brownlow explains, contain the most underutilized space in many homes. Rather than being used for storage, a remodeled attic can add a whole new room to a house, with an old storage area easily transformed into a functional and usable room: maybe an extra bedroom, or private office space.

Regarding the long-term success of the business, Chuck Brownlow explained the key to this success: “We work long and hard to earn and maintain the trust of our clients through the years. Brownlow & Sons’ six decades of experience has taught us that through a combination of timeless craftsmanship and solid values we can bring a client’s dream home to life. We provide the same level of service whether we are painting a client’s foyer, remodeling a kitchen or adding a screened porch to a home”.
