Will Hardison shared thisIf a house with motorized screens was a steamy romance novel, this would be it.

Will Hardison shared thisHard to believe this was our first install. It’s hard to beat this one. The homeowners jokingly tell me it’s my showroom. I’ve taken plenty of people to this house and the first word out of their mouth is “wow”. It’s not just the screens. It’s the view. It’s the detail. It’s the build by Sound Custom Builders.

Will Hardison shared thisFeeling that end of the season burn out for sure. You don’t ever pray that it slows down, but you also pray it slows down. We’ve tripled in revenue from year one and the only difference in help is a wonderful part time director of shade who handles the logistics of installs. Your boy is tired but excited to keep pushing to see how we can best scale this company so I don’t have to work. JK. Kind of.

Will Hardison shared this100 hours and round columns in Landfall = a meticulous but perfectly executed motorized storm screens installation. You can't just put guide rails on a tapered round column out of the box. It doesn't work that way. A rail needs a flush and even surface to guide the screen up and down the track. The solution: profile every single column custom cut rectangle aluminum tubing powder coat it attach it to the hollow columns attach the guide rails to the aluminum tubing tweak and fine tune it all so it works perfectly The result: A completely storm proof porch that is usable all year long and private enough to host neighborhood get togethers. Anyone can sell you motorized screens but no one has THIS TEAM. Noah and Gary are absolute magicians. Ready for a storm proof, private porch? Call or txt me - 910-212-6306 -- but chances are Katie will beat me to the phone. Creative Outdoor Solutions Arthur James James Fix - who's DM do I need to slide into to get this one featured? 😎

Will Hardison shared this20 motorized roll-down shutters. One monster installation in North Topsail Beach. We haven’t had a hurricane directly impact our area in almost seven years—but smart homeowners know that doesn’t mean another one isn’t coming. A huge thank-you to our incredible installation team. The guys completed this entire project in just 2½ days! You can buy shutters from anyone - but you won't get this team anywhere else. Do not wait until another storm is named to protect your home. Once a hurricane has a potential track toward the Carolinas, it will be too late to measure, order, manufacture, and install your protection. The best time to prepare is before there’s a storm on the map.

Will Hardison shared thisHappy Monday! The trucks are loaded for another full week of work! The smart ones are getting hurricane protection now, even though there is no immediate threat, and we haven’t had a storm in a few years

Will Hardison shared thisIt's the 2nd wettest August on record for Wilmington, NC - but you just bob and weave the storms and do what you can to still get work done.

Will Hardison liked thisWill Hardison liked thisMy friend and mentor, Lorraine Ball, passed away on September 16th from a quick bout with cancer. I've been trying to figure out how to write this… There's no clever framing device for it. No creative way to start this because it's bullshit and unfair, but that's life. I can't remember the exact day I met her. I think I was in college, maybe still in high school, when my dad dragged me to Rainmakers, a networking group in Indianapolis run by Tony Scelzo. Lorraine was one of its biggest champions. She ran an agency called Roundpeg, and Rainmakers became the foundation of my life in this city after college. It was tough out there in my early 20s. You can have a degree and still have no idea what you're doing. I graduated with a marketing degree, moved to Indianapolis from Anderson, wanted to do graphic design, and couldn't get a job to save my life. Lorraine hired me as a graphic designer at Roundpeg. I spent two years there working on her small business clients' brands. The thing about Lorraine, the thing everyone at her funeral kept coming back to, was that mentoring people was everything to her. Her husband said she called a lot of us her kids. One mentee called her "biz mom." I agree. She was that for me. When I told her I wanted to start my own agency, one that would compete directly with hers, she didn't blink. She let me start it out of her office. For f*cking free. She taught me how to run a business while I was, by any reasonable definition, becoming her competitor. I know exactly one person who would do that. She also let me deface her property to market my company (then called Brandswag). The Indianapolis Business Journal wanted to feature it, and Lorraine said, "Why don't you spray-paint the logo on my garage?" I said hell yeah. Then it took me six months to repaint that garage back to white. She may have cursed me for being lazy, but she never once made me feel bad about it. That was her. She cared about people enough to hand you her literal garage wall, then wait for you to get your sh*t together. She was always trying to help younger marketers make the most of whatever they were building. Whether you believe in God, the universe, or the simulation, Lorraine was put in front of me at exactly the moment I needed her. I'm a better man, marketer, and leader because I got to work next to her in my twenties. At the funeral, Andrew, her husband, asked everyone Lorraine mentored to raise their hand. Thirty hands went up. I sat there thinking, I want that. I want to be the reason thirty people raise their hand someday. Cancer is a bitch. It took her too soon and it isn't fair. But Lorraine went to bed every night having actually lived that day, fully, on purpose. I'd bet everything I have she didn't waste a single one. That's the best lesson of all. This city lost one of its most relentless advocates this week. I lost a mentor. Rest easy, Lorraine. Thank you for the love, kindness, and support over the years.
