The Value of Working with an Employee-Owned Company
When you start a home remodel, you’re looking for more than just pretty cabinets or durable countertops, you want a partner you can trust. Someone who’ll pick up the phone, care about the details, and treat your home like their own.
That’s where being 100% employee-owned makes a real difference.
At Woodsman Kitchens & Floors, every person you meet, from the designer to the install crew, has a personal stake in the company’s success. We’re not just employees. We’re owners. And that changes everything.
So, What Does "Employee-Owned" Mean Exactly?
In 2023, our founder Rick Woods sold the business to the people who helped build it. That means everyone at Woodsman, from customer service to delivery to design, is now part of an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP).
Each team member owns a piece of the company. We share in the rewards when things go well, and we take responsibility when they don’t.
It’s not just a feel-good title. It’s a structure that creates real accountability and long-term investment in how we show up for our clients.
Why It Matters to You
When you work with an employee-owned company, you’re getting a team that cares just a little more. Here's what that looks like in practice:
1. Every Detail Counts
Because each of us is a part-owner, there’s no “passing the buck.” If we say your quartz countertop will be ready next Thursday, we’re going to do everything we can to make sure that happens.
2. Long-Term Thinking
We’re not here to rush you through a job or maximize a short-term sale. We’re building lasting relationships, and a business we want to thrive for generations. That means quality work, honest pricing, and no shortcuts.
3. Real Accountability
Mistakes happen in any business, but when they do, we don’t hide behind policies or shift blame. We own it. Literally.
The Woodsman Difference
We’ve been in the remodeling world for over 40 years, and during that time, we’ve worked with thousands of homeowners throughout Northeast Florida. But since becoming employee-owned, something’s shifted.
There’s a stronger sense of pride. A deeper commitment to service. And a shared responsibility to not just meet expectations, but to exceed them.
You’ll feel it in your first design meeting. You’ll see it in the care our installers take. And you’ll hear it in the way we follow up after the job’s done.
Supporting Local Means Supporting People
By choosing an employee-owned business, you’re doing more than investing in your home, you’re investing in your community. Your project helps support local families, create stable jobs, and keep profits right here in Florida.
It’s a ripple effect that benefits everyone.
It’s Not Just a Job. It’s Our Company.
Employee ownership doesn’t just motivate us—it shapes how we do business.
We celebrate each other’s wins
We hold each other accountable
We take pride in every project, no matter the size
Whether you’re remodeling a single bathroom or an entire home, you can feel confident knowing you’re working with people who are truly invested in the outcome.
