ProSource: Tell us about your business.
Todd: I started LT General Contractor, LLC in April of 2013. After 20 + years in the corporate world, I found myself unexpectedly unemployed so I decided to follow my passion. I graduated from Virginia Tech in 1990 with a degree in Economics & minor in Technical Writing. While in college I worked at a door shop in Radford, VA, then 84 Lumber & Moore’s Lumber Building Supplies; this is where I began to learn the construction trade. Living in and remodeling a 100 year old home for 17 years was where I perfected the trade (plus many, many side projects for family, friends and co-workers over the years). Losing my corporate job and coming back to my roots was the best thing to ever happen to me.
Todd: On April 1st 2015, Sean Hall, formally of Kumis Construction, joined the business. Sean & his dad Dickie (when they were in business together) built six custom homes, multiple additions and other large new construction and remodeling projects. Sean is an amazing tradesman; his attention to detail in unmatched by anyone in the profession. I’m excited and fortunate to have him join the organization. As of May 2015, LT General Contractor, LLC is a Licensed Class A Contractor with BLD Classification.

Todd: Kitchens
and Baths. I absolutely love working with the customer, hearing their ideas
then working with Kay and Pam (at ProSource) to design the perfect kitchen and/or bath.
ProSource: Can you give us a tip to share with our readers?
Todd: I am
a huge proponent of Schluter Systems and all of their line of products. I will
only use Schluter Shower systems for custom tile shower and bath designs. Tile
got a bad reputation in the 60’s and 70’s because it was difficult to install
the traditional “water-in/water-out” shower properly so
coincidentally, tiles showers did not last. Fiberglass units were cheap to
install and did not leak so they became very popular but let’s face it,
fiberglass lacks imagination and it’s ugly! With Schluter, if you can imagine
it, we can built it and you can have the bath of your dreams and it will LAST
and not LEAK. A properly installed tile shower system should last a lifetime.
