In 1966, Augusta, GA native, Jim Felton formed his first company in the Southeast, bringing a variety of new products aimed at easing and reducing the cost of traditional home remodeling. Because his earliest — and continuing — commitment was to quality and value, he soon expanded.
Within a few years, he had grown from those first few-dozen customers to thousands annually. This year alone his home improvement companies (including Wilkerson Windows & Gutters) will complete over 7,500 jobs in Augusta (GA), Aiken (SC), Birmingham (AL), Greenville (SC), Atlanta (GA), Chattanooga (TN), Charlotte (NC), Charleston (SC) and Columbia (SC) markets.
All together these companies have completed over 200,000 jobs for over 120,000 households. This means that about half of all of our customers come back for additional work! That’s really saying something when you consider that many of our products (such as sunrooms, whole-house siding, decks, roofs) are essentially one-time purchases!
The Southern Industries formula for a successful business includes more than just expansion and growth. Our success is due to the fine people who make up the company and it is firmly rooted in a commitment to product quality and customer satisfaction.
Since that first year, high quality work and reasonable prices have been the hallmark of all our Southern Industries companies. Every product and service is fully backed, and customer satisfaction is guaranteed.
It’s been over 50 years since Jim Felton first began knocking on doors of residents in Augusta, GA. In those 50+ years his companies have proved themselves again and again. For over 50 years… you, the customer, have supported all the companies under the Southern Industries umbrella with referrals and repeat business.
As part of the Southern Industries family of companies, Wilkerson Windows & Gutters humbly thanks you for your past business and hopes to earn your trust for another 50 years. Like our motto says: “We build relationships that last a lifetime.”
