It’s been quite a year for the home industry, and our community is booming.

As with any business, this one is made up of many outstanding leaders, and the Home Builders Association of Greenville celebrated some of the best at their annual Bridge Awards event. We spent some time with a few of the honorees recognized for excellence in their fields.

It’s always a good time to get to know your neighbors and maybe none better than now.


Talk Greenville: What is one thing you wish everyone knew about your business?

Dustin Hughes: That I genuinely sit on the same side of the table as the builder. Our goal is the exact same: “To provide an awesome product at a great price in a timely manner.” I enjoy working with builders who understand that suppliers/subs are true partners in the building industry.

TG: What is your favorite part about what you do?

DH: I was a pastor on staff at church for 8 years prior to this job, and I geniunely believe our focus should be on serving. I want to serve and help our builders any way possible. If you lead with a servant’s heart, the sales will come.

TG: How have things changed in your industry over the last year?

DH: That’s easy, AVAILABILITY! The order of questions from builders/customers used to be "How much is it, can you tell me about the product, then when can I get it?" Now, far and away the first question to answer is “When can I get it?” Supply issues and availability are presenting unique challenges that we are learning to navigate through each day.

TG: What is one thing you will never do again?

DH: I ran the Swamp Rabbit Half Marathon on Saturday, February 29th 2020, and have since said that I won’t run another half marathan until the next Saturday, February 29th which will not be until February 29th 2048. I’ll be 68, so who knows?

TG: What is one thing that would surprise us about you?

DH: While studying PRTM at Clemson I got a job with the old minor league hockey team in Greenville, the Greenville Grrrowl one season. I was on Ice Dog, and was a part of the on-ice and in stands entertainment team!

2/3/18 There is so much information out there about how to take care of and clean our dishwashers that it can be overwhelming.  If you keep up with the cleaning and maintenance you can extend the life of your dishwasher.  We studied the owner’s manuals for Kitchen Aid, GE and Bosch dishwashers and came up with the 4 most helpful cleaning tips.   Check your owner’s manual for specific instructions and frequency. Clean the filters Inside your dishwasher there is at least one filter that collects solid particles that may have been on your dishes.  If you don’t clean it regularly then your dishes may show visible signs of dirt and the dishes can feel gritty to the touch.  It is easy to remove and clean them.   You can just do a quick look at the filter about once a month if you tend to put dirty dishes in the dishwasher.  If you are in the habit of clearing the dishes of food before putting them in the dishwasher you may only need to ch...
