#5 Top Dealer of the Year Winner
Clear Space Garage & Closet Storage Solutions has been a Redline dealer for 7 years. They are located in Sagamore, Massachusetts and covers a seven county area of Eastern Massachusetts, including Dukes, Nantucket, Barnstable, Bristol, Plymouth, Norfolk and southern Middlesex countie. Clear Space provides services like garage cabinets, flooring and coating, and closets.
The owners of Clear Space are Lance and Cindy Lamborghini. Their business started back in 2012 when Hurricane Sandy visited Cape Cod. Instead of hunkering down, they decided to clean their garage. Cindy had recently been laid off from her long-time career in grocery retail and Lance was ready to leave his career in construction and remodeling and start something new.
While searching online for new storage options for their garage, Cindy came across Redline Garagegear. At the time, there wasn't any dealer in their area. The couple realized that they found their perfect opportunity to start their own business of selling and installing garage cabinets and closets systems.
Clear Space started with Lance and Cindy and it continues to be just the two of them. They are both perfectionists and they expect others to have the same high standards as them and work as hard as but they don't which is why it's only them too.
Redline appreciates their hard work and dedication on each job and it shows on every single one of their projects.
#4 Top Dealer of the Year Winner
Absolute Garage & Closets is located in Urbandale, Iowa and serves the surrounding area of Des Moines. This dealer provides services like garage storage systems, garage flooring, and closets.
Marty Gustin, owner of Absolute Garage & Closets, bought the company from Todd and Renita Walker in December 2017. Although Marty, has owned the company for 3 years now, the Walker's founded the company back in 2004.
Marty was not an employee and had never worked in the industry before but was looking for a change. His previous roles were in accounting and finance at big companies. Marty liked the idea of buying and establishing a local business that offered home improvement products and services.
"One of the most ironic changes for me is how little of time I spend on the books for this business with all the other day-to-day activities taking higher precedence.", says Marty Gustin.
In his short time with us, he has been awarded the Top Dealer of the year award every year.
This and for many other reasons is what makes Redline proud to have a dealer like Absolute Garage & Closets.
