My name is George Barr. I have many years in the construction industry. Most of my time has been spent in tile and granite but I am proficient in framing, sheetrock, texturing, plumbing, cabinetry, & counter tops as well. My last job of 14 yrs was with Abbott Granite as Production Mgr. Company growth went from 5 kitchens to 60 kitchens a week, with 10 expansions of shop and office space. I participated in the planning of shop layout and work flow of each expansion. I have run as many as 140 jobs at one time with 120 employees to coordinate and complete on time sensitive schedules. I am a self starter and have a proven track record in job completion and customer satisfaction. I have excelled in scheduling production to customer service, purchasing of supplies and materials for projects and equipment purchase and maintenance and procuring parts not from the OEM at a greater savings . I was regularly handling issues with customers and home owners to resolve concerns to mutual satisfaction. I would like a face to face so you could get a feel of my abilities, I am a fast learner and with hands on experience. I am looking for new opportunities within the industry.
