Our History
David Paul Murray, Employee
David is the third generation carpenter, remodeling contractor. His grandfather, Ed, starting remodeling and homebuilding right after WWII. His dad, William, worked full time with Ed right after high school graduation. Now David did not readily jump into remodeling for a career. He instead worked with William, his dad to fill down time and pay for " things" and school. Graduating from the same Ala mater, Elmhurst High school in Fort Wayne, Indiana, David pursued another interest in electrical engineering technology (EET). Being able to graduate from ITT Tech with an associates in EET was fine, but the "Be all you can be" commercials from the Army was more interesting. He did not qualify to fly the cobra helicopters that were the commercial highlight, he did however, go through training as a military police officer and have the grand assignment at West Point. After 3 invigorating years at West Point, another transition was in order. Through a God-ordained series of recommendations, he decided to further his education and career in the military as an officer. So away he went to South Carolina to attend Presbyterian College to study biology of all things and join the ROTC. With the previous military bearing and training it was easy for him to become the student XO of the battalion and graduate in 3 years Cum Laud. By then God remarkably redirected his plans once again. Before he had a chance to graduate and become an Army Officer, God introduced him to a lovely southern belle! As his pastor once stated, "Only God can bring together a young man all the way from Indiana to the front step of a young lady in South Carolina." That He did. And what a good match. A year later David and Charlotte were married and two years later the 4th generation carpenter was born. But due to the Clinton administration's defense cut back David could not find an active duty slot in the Army; or for that matter in any active component of the Army. So, in 1989 David strapped on the tool belt once again, this time to become the provider and protector of his new family. But as this young family struggled in a new business in Laurens county, Charlotte's family encouraged the young couple to relocate closer to her family in the Low country. Jumping at the opportunity, David and family moved to the area in 1993. As God would have it, the business picked up speed and in three short years it became what it is today - except for David Paul. It would take a few more years of training to put him in the driver seat. And God willing, David Paul will continue the family entrepreneurial legacy.
