Repp Renovations marked its 30th anniversary in business with a memorable celebration on April 12 at its showroom in Orchard Park.
Nearly 200 people – including clients, community members, employees and their families – attended the party at the business on Taylor Road. It was an interactive evening with bouquet and wreath-making, wine tasting, food demonstrations, cake decorating and live music.
Don Lorentz, executive director of the Orchard Park Chamber of Commerce, presented President and CEO Chris Repp with a plaque commemorating 30 years in business. Accepting the Chamber’s acknowledgement, Repp addressed the crowd. “Our continued success is reliant on upon you, our loyal clients,” he said. “Thank you for your confidence.”
In 1988, Repp started the business as Repp Construction out of his Orchard Park home, with three employees. The company moved to its present location in 1991, and underwent a significant expansion of its showroom and woodworking shop in 2004. Today, the design-build remodeling company employs 15 people, an integrated team of designers, craftsmen and administrative staff.
The event marked the formal launch of Repp Renovations’ line of home organizers, Closet Creations by Repp. This fully customizable organization system is perfect for closets, pantries and laundry rooms. Among the many options is a unique, 360-degree rotating organizer that can accommodate shoes, accessories and even pantry items. Repp Renovations is the only company in the Buffalo area with this item on display.
