Sal Ferro Honored with the Fred Case Remodeling Entrepreneur of the Year Award

Sal Ferro has been honored with The 2008 Fred Case Remodeling Entrepreneur of the Year Award. "Sal represents not only entrepreneurial thinking but entrepreneurial action," says Mark Richardson, president of Case Design/Remodeling and a judge. Besides Ferro's generous charitable work, Richardson cites his lead role in developing the Owens Corning basement franchising program, his innovative approach to "packaging" bathroom remodels at different price points, and his use of design-imaging software to differentiate Alure Home Improvements from its competition and distinguish siding and other exterior products as much more than commodities. "Alure is a breeding ground of ideas," Richardson says.

Fred Case, though not involved in reviewing nominees, is "very impressed with [Ferro's] professionalism, his work with the basement franchise, and the administrative systems that he's developed," Case says. "He runs a sharp operation in a very competitive market," and Alure's diversification and name recognition have helped him take intelligent risks and grow at a manageable pace, he adds.
