Masterpiece Construction<\/a>, a luxury remodeling and design-build firm working across Fort Worth and Dallas, has taken off \u201clike a jet.\u201d Allen said\u00a0he expects the company will double its gross revenue year over year to $2 million in 2025.<\/p>\n\u201cIt\u2019s one of those things that if you\u2019d asked me five years ago if I\u2019d have thought I\u2019d be in this position, I probably would\u2019ve said, \u2018Well, that\u2019s crazy,\u2019\u201d said Allen, 38. \u201cWe quickly have kind of grown into having jobs that are pretty darn big.\u201d<\/p>\n
He attributes his success to a core philosophy centered on integrity, transparent pricing, quality work, and clear communication\u2014an approach he feels differentiates his company. How many people begin projects like a home renovation and soon wonder what exactly they\u2019ve gotten themselves into?<\/p>\n
\u201cThat was a big reason why I wanted to go into this, because I knew I would do things differently than the vast majority of people in this industry,\u201d Allen said. \u201cWe really focus on that communication piece, on the integrity piece, and on being on time.\u201d<\/p>\n
Allen built the business largely through word of mouth, but he began by seeking out \u201cpeople I felt shared a common customer base with me,\u201d such as interior designers. He started networking and building those relationships, earning trust over time by following through on commitments and delivering quality work on a firm schedule.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s kind of how we got off the ground,\u201d Allen said. \u201cNow we\u2019re starting to get that word of mouth and referral sources from the customers as well. And now that we\u2019re catching some momentum, we\u2019re putting some money into marketing and stuff like that. But a lot of it was done by networking from the get-go.\u201d<\/p>\n
Allen bootstrapped the business \u2014 now with three other employees \u2014 running it as lean as possible. He worked out of his house in the first year and today operates out of a small office. Still, he has plans to scale.<\/p>\n
He believes that within five years the company will reach $10 million in gross revenue and will have a showroom to host customers.<\/p>\n
A North Carolinian by birth, Allen was raised in a small town. His father worked in the state\u2019s renowned tobacco industry. His mother worked at a local car dealership. Allen attended the University of South Carolina, where he worked for a friend painting houses.<\/p>\n
\u201cI really enjoyed that work,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
As a pharmacist, Allen worked briefly for Walgreens, then spent time in a hospital setting and an outpatient setting before purchasing the pharmacy in Denton in 2017. He still maintains an interest in the pharmacy business.<\/p>\n
He spent six years merely making a living. That can sometimes be difficult to live with.<\/p>\n
When it was time to move on, Allen recalled how much he enjoyed working on others\u2019 homes as a college student.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy dad always encouraged me to work hard and be honest, and those are the two things that honestly have had the biggest impact on this business,\u201d Allen said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s been a blessing, and I\u2019m having a lot of fun doing it.\u201d<\/p>\n
It\u2019s fulfilling … stuff.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Brandon Allen had a stable career and income as a pharmacist and owner of a pharmacy in Denton…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":478808,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5138],"tags":[5229,9886,53846,9604,7371,7372,216871,13814,10204,9207,358,7453,3187,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-478807","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-fort-worth","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-construction","10":"tag-denton-county","11":"tag-entrepreneurs","12":"tag-fort-worth","13":"tag-fortworth","14":"tag-home-remodel","15":"tag-john-henry","16":"tag-residential-real-estate","17":"tag-small-business","18":"tag-texas","19":"tag-top-story","20":"tag-tx","21":"tag-united-states","22":"tag-united-states-of-america","23":"tag-unitedstates","24":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","25":"tag-us","26":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115805639361833829","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/478807","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=478807"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/478807\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/478808"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=478807"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=478807"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=478807"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
