Commercial Real Estate Awards: General Contractors’ Honest Customer Service Leads to Staying Power

More than 25 years ago, a Southern California guy and an Irishman started a general contracting business. They had been in business just a short time when their business found its defining moment.

After the Northridge earthquake in January 1994, some general contractors – seeing the increased demand – raised their rates drastically.

“We got some advice,” said John Parker, co-founder of Parker Brown, Inc., “from a guy we trusted. He said, ‘Keep your rates the same. Customers will know it and appreciate it, and they will always come back to you.’”

That was great advice they followed. “And today we still have some of those customers we first worked with back then,” said Scott Brown, co-founder of Parker Brown, Inc.

You stay in business more than a quarter of a century because your work is on time, within budget and high quality. Parker Brown, Inc., started more than 25 years ago and has grown steadily over the years for the simple reason that our customers come back to them again and again. Nearly four out of five jobs are from repeat customers. They work with Parker Brown, Inc., time and again because they deliver.

“I have known Parker Brown since the late ‘90s and I love working with them,” said Tom Dwyer, senior vice president at CBRE. “Their sense of urgency, dedication, and ‘client comes first’ attitude is greatly appreciated. Most of all, I trust them and I’m confident my clients are in good hands with them.”

Parker Brown is in it for the long haul. They know that by doing a good job for you today, you will be their customer for life. Their philosophy is simple. Parker Brown bases its relationships on trust and integrity. This is what good, honest customer service is all about.
