Every May, REMODELING MAGAZINE inducts 50 remodeling companies into their elite group “The Big 50”. These companies have set the standard for professionalism and integrity through smart marketing, exemplary business practices, unique design, and extraordinary impact on their community or the industry at large. Big50 remodelers run successful, growing companies of various sizes that have taken the lead in raising the standards of the industry.

 The Big50 is a remodeling business excellence award for best practices. Remodeling Magazine looks for firms with “top-notch business acumen, outstanding customer service, a financially strong foundation, and exciting systems.

Almar Building and Remodeling Co, is proud to be part of the Big50, Class of 2005. Almar was started in 1959 by Gerald Quinn and his partner. The company was named by combining the names of each partner’s wife: ALMAR; AL (Alice) MAR (Mary). The name stayed even after the partner left. In 1973 Terry Quinn, Gerald’s son, took over the business. Terry’s experiences over the last 30 years have helped him grow today’s Almar a lean and profitable company.

In the early 1980’s Terry decided it was time to take a break from running a business so his wife could go to Law School, and he could spend more time with his family.   Terry worked for 8 years for Harvey Industries utilizing his construction and sales knowledge selling windows and doors to contractors just like himself.  In 1990, during one of the Remodeling Industries slowest economies in recent history, Terry decided it was time to put the tool belt back on and revive the Almar name.

Almar has grown a lot since Terry went back into business, currently with three field employees, his daughter Allison and son-in-law Craig Guido on board. Both his daughter and son-in-law are part owners. With Terry (second from the left) handling sales and estimating, Almar closes approximately three out of every 10 leads. Well-known in the community, Almar has been called back to do new work on homes 30 years after originally working on them. Customer loyalty at it’s best!

Almar’s loyalty to its customers is evident in the quality of the work, attention to detail during the project development, completion and follow up, and in giving back to the community by participating in the American Lung Association’s annual Asthma Walk, Project Bread, Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation and the Dana Farber Marathon Challenge.
