Recently I got the opportunity to speak with Ron Bevacqua, Owner of Pillar Construction.
I was lucky enough to catch him while he was in route from one job site to another. My first attempt at contacting him, he couldn’t pick up because he was on the roof mid day 90* temps in the middle of August. He apologized and all I could think was, wow that’s dedication. I was probably sitting behind my computer in the A/C. He was open to giving me a little background of his business. In the early 80's he worked for his father's family drywall business. In 1993, he and his brother went onto form Pillar Construction. Their reputation of being the best drywall company earned them an amazing reputation and they became Pillar Drywall, Inc. At the time the new construction was booming, he contracted with new home developers, builders, and commercial properties. This was a critical step, and when he was finished, the next phase of the construction was continued by the painting contractor and so forth until the project was finished.
In 2008 things went south as the economy was suffering, new construction pretty much came to a complete halt. Many other contractors found themselves...
struggling or going out of business. It was bad, there was no business. Ron had to come up with a plan. He essentially was forced into reinventing himself and his business or loosing it.
Ron wakes up everyday looking forward to what he has on his agenda for the day. Sort of how an artist has his colors arranged on his palette. His medium varies from power tools to a hammer, rulers to color swatches, lumber and siding to lighting fixtures and everything in between.
At the end of his project his customers are over the top and happy with his creation. The reviews he receives unanimously rave his work as a craftsman, that’s the truest form of praise and acknowledgement for him.
Respecting and caring for customers property, is crucial. "I treat it as if it’s my own. Always leaving it neater and cleaner than when he got there. Clients notice that." They can see his integrity through your work.
People that know him have commented “Wow Ron, it’s just so obvious that you love what you do!” And to this he replies "Yes, I'm a lucky man to have my work be something I am passionate about." His work is his craft and his art.
