We don't apologize for being awesome! Here's Why

I can't recommend Resale Buildout Specialists (RBS) highly enough! Because of their experience with Winmark brands, finding a contractor who can do what they do, at the price they do it, is virtually impossible. When getting additional quotes, I found that Jody and his team came in lower and offered more services than any other contractors in my area. It would be fairly difficult to find a contractor who can not only paint the walls, but also install the security, sound, and computer systems.

Perhaps just as valuable as their versatility is the work they do BEFORE they arrive on site. Functioning as a mediator between Designed Environments, the RBS team found incredible cost savings for my build-out. In total, I calculated that if I would have done the DE order myself, I would have spent an additional $8,000 in unneeded supplies/fixtures. Their ability to look at each line item quickly to see if it's the right amount for the planned floor layout is uncanny. They also took bids on the pieces of the buildout that they don't do, flooring for instance. Their ability to vet sub contractors and hold them accountable also saved me a lot of headaches.

Apart from the quality of their work (both before and during your build-out) they have done so many refreshes and build-outs that they move a LOT more quickly than any contractor you will hire. We went from vanilla shell to ready for our OTB in 14 days - just incredible!

Needless to say, we will be using them in the future! My only hesitancy in writing such a glowing review is that I'll have to fight off the rest of you jokers when I'm trying to book them for my next project 😉

Even if you feel like you are pretty handy, there are likely better ways to be spending your time during the buildout (marketing, trend research, staff hiring/training, etc.) . Save yourself a TON of stress and time and give RBS a call. If you have any additional questions about my experience with these guys, give me a call and I'd be happy to share more.

The purpose of this letter is to inform Winmark Corporation of the fantastic experience we had with RBS and to recommend them to become the preferred vendor for Winmark brands

RBS and their staff have an intimate knowledge of how these stores come together and the insight and expertise to complete the job on time and under budget. Thanks to their direct involvement with Winmark via their status as franchisees. TBS has a handle on the precise details and timing that other contractors lack. They take a tremendous amount of work off of the plate of the franchisee, streamline the build-out process, and provide a superior product at a fraction of the cost

Thanks to the team at RBS, we were able to save tens of thousands of dollars, shorten our build-out time, save time and money on subcontracting jobs (computer set up, security cameras, speaker systems, etc.), and have peace of mind that the job was done correctly by experienced and trustworthy people. Our ability to open our store earlier than planned, with less headaches and stress, made the entire experience more enjoyable and allowed us to focus more directly on the business itself.

The experience with RBS was an absolute pleasure from start to finish, and we are so happy that they were able to work with us. This is in stark contrast to our experience with more expensive contractors on our first build-out. We highly recommend RBS without reservation. Should you have any questions, or would like us to expand upon the above, please feel free to contact us at any time.

Resale Buildout Specialists have completed the buildout for two of our stores. Their work is fast, efficient and looks really nice when complete. I found them to be trustworthy and professional. We knew what was going on with our buildout every step of the way from actual work to cost. These guys are really easy to talk to and make the process way less stressful. I can't imagine anyone tryin gto do this part themselves.

The most amazing part to me goes back to the fast and efficient. The number of days they say it will take is the number of days it takes. They get it done making them a true asset to anyone opening a Winmark Franchise.

Working with Resale Buildout Specialists was a great experience for me. They were very professional, extremely kind and easy to work with, and they did a fantastic job on the buildout. They guided me through the entire process and I believe that things went much smoother because they were on my team. They did what they said they would do, for the price they said they would do it, and in the timeframe they quoted me; what more could you ask for? I would highly recommend Resale Buildout Specialists to any franchisee that wants a reliable team with prior experience to buildout their store. And in fact, I've already been recommending them to all new franchisees that ask me about my experience.

This is a full throated endorsement of Resale Buildout Specialists, Jody, Jake and Ben are fully qualified to build out a Plato's Closet in an amazingly quick timeframe and with great craftsmanship. All at a very fair price

My story is not unique. Our buildout got postponed many times due to issues the landlord had with their work. Jody was very accommodating. During this time help with my D-E order and recommended other things like my music system. I hired the electrician, flooring contractor, and sign contractor. Once we were finally able to start our portion of the build out RBS was incredibly quick. It took only 8 days. In fact they finished before the landord's work was done.

Here is a summary of what RBS did:

  • Coordinate and receive orders including design Environments
  • Buildout backroom including shelving, desk, and other peripherals
  • Assemble Racks, cash wrap, shelving
  • Assemble dressing rooms
  • Paint walls, apply window treatments, and wall decals
  • Install slatwall
  • Install computer system
  • Install security camera system
  • Install music systems
  • Worked with electrical and flooring contractors

An added plus is answering any questions since they not only build a bunch of Plato's but are operators as well.

In the end I was very satisfied with the work done and the time it took. And our store looks amazing!
