Summit, NJ – May 15, 2012 – Joseph and Dean Episcopo, owners of Joseph Episcopo & Sons, Inc., have been selected by Remodeling magazine to join the Remodeling Big50. The Big50 awards were presented at the Remodeling Leadership Conference in Baltimore, MD on May 11, 2012. The 2012 Big50 winners are featured in the May issue of Remodeling, a national trade publication read by more than 80,000 professional remodeling contractors– a market that reached $278 billion in 2011
Since 1986, the Remodeling Big50 annually inducts 50 owners of remodeling companies that have set exceptionally high standards for professionalism and integrity through exemplary business practices, craftsmanship, and impact in their community or the industry at large. Big50 remodelers run successful, often growing, companies of various sizes that have taken the lead in raising industry standards.
The Big50 selection process has become increasingly rigorous in recent years, and the result, Remodeling editors believe, is one of the strongest classes to date. All 2012 inductees “stood up to detailed examinations of their businesses and their books, and they all demonstrated an admirably deft ability to restructure, retrench, and flat-out hustle to remain viable in a challenging economic climate,” according to Remodeling
Remodeling editors, columnists, industry leaders, and the companies themselves make the nominations each year. Following a lengthy evaluation and interview process of both company and clientele, Joseph Episcopo & Sons, Inc. was selected winner in the category of Business Savvy, which recognizes them as a remodeler with especially effective, established business systems.
“We are very privileged to receive this distinction.” says Joseph Episcopo Jr., President of Joseph Episcopo & Sons, Inc. “Especially in recent years homeowners will scrutinize every detail of a contractor’s business before opening their home to them. This award recognizes the unique advantage of hiring a professional company who know how to do business. Our reputation thrives because of positive customer referrals, but the fact that our procedures have attracted national attention is quite an honor.”
Joseph Episcopo, Sr. formed his residential construction company in 1958 in Summit, New Jersey. There, his two sons, Joseph Jr. and Dean learned every aspect of the trade from a young age and are now seasoned in the construction and remodeling industry, leading their professional crew of carpenters, masons and skilled trades men and women. Joseph Episcopo & Sons, Inc. serves the Northern/Central New Jersey area and holds a fine reputation of building a quality product, with the emphasis on honest and professional operations.
