The “secret sauce” is that element, or combination of elements, that sets a company apart from its competitors and is the heart and soul of its success. Unlocking the secret sauce is a rare feat for most companies, but at Sun Design Remodeling, it is the very essence that transforms the mundane into the extraordinary, for both our team and our valued clients.
Picture this: amidst the typical chaos of remodeling, our clients will enjoy an unparalleled experience. How? Well, our teams are never complacent or content to simply hit the bottom line. They truly relish their work, and the camaraderie that comes with it, which motivates them to go above and beyond for each client.
Discovering our essence and allowing it to shape Sun Design’s culture, is what has earned us the esteemed title of Best Places to Work in Virginia, a project from Virginia Business Magazine and Best Companies Group. As well as an array of Design Awards, Customer Service accolades, and a symphony of online testimonials that echo the satisfaction of our clients. The crescendo? A client net promoter score (which is a client experience metric that measures client loyalty and satisfaction) soaring beyond 85% – truly remarkable!
In a world bombarded by challenges, especially since the onset of Covid, our collaborative dynamics have undergone a metamorphosis. Yet, we persevere, relentlessly striving to focus on the essence that has consistently made our secret sauce so delectable.
So, what is the secret recipe? It’s simple, profoundly human, and immensely impactful: Charity, Truth, and Fun.
Truth forms the bedrock, demanding an environment that is steeped in trust, fostering healthy conflict, encouraging questioning, and placing the responsibility to prove the cause first before any solution takes root.
Fun, often underestimated, plays a pivotal role. Amidst our hard work, we embrace cheerfulness, positivity, and a hint of goofiness when needed. The only rule? It must be all-inclusive, uniting us in a shared joy.
At the pinnacle of our endeavor stands Charity – a compelling force that, when practiced in our everyday lives, will inspire kindness, true caring, and heroism in the small things we do for others.
This three-fold ethos cascades seamlessly from our team to our trades, and ultimately reaches our clients and their families. We take pride in being recognized one of the Best Places to Work in Virginia because it is not simply an acknowledgement of corporate proficiency, it is a testament to how we communicate – with Charity, Truth, and a dash of fun.
So, step into the world of Sun Design Remodeling, where the secret sauce isn’t just a process, but a commitment to creating extraordinary experiences, one project at a time.
