History
General Millwork Supply, Inc. (GMS,Inc.) is family owned &
operated by Thomas & Wendy Duran, located in the heart of North
County, San Marcos, California. After moving to North County from
their native state Connecticut, they opened their business in December
of 1991 when small businesses were struggling to stay alive in a
depressive economy. The company was established during tough economic
times at their one location and has weathered three recessionary
periods; the last one being the toughest of the three. They are
“Celebrating 25 Years in Business” and attribute their success by
planning and staying inside the lines on the guiding principles of the
company’s core values. By staying the course on a solid business plan
through reinvesting in the company and focusing on the health of the
company’s relationships with suppliers and its professional customers
has enabled them to thrive. These are some key reasons why General
Millwork Supply has recently received these awards and honors that
they proudly achieved over the past few years: The 2010 “Dealer of
the Year” in Overall Excellence and Leadership in the Professional
Market by Window & Door Magazine; U-T San Diego – Voted one of
“San Diego’s Best” Window and Door Company by the UT San Diego
Reader’s Poll in 2012,2013 & Finalist 2014; Voted “Best of Houzz
2014 & 2015” in Service from the leading platform of home
remodeling & design for customer satisfaction honors; 2014 Top
Specialists – Listed as one of 2014 Top Specialists under $5 Million
in Window & Door in May 2014 Magazine; GMS, Inc. was the
5th largest Window & Door Dealer in sales for Andersen Windows,
Inc. in Southern California for 2013.
In addition to these honors, GMS, Inc. has received many good reviews on YELP & HOUZZ along with others from their customers over the years. Through the use of social media: the GMS Facebook page, Pinterest & Houzz sites provide helpful consumer information & ideas on products & services offered at GMS, Inc. Photos of projects that our products were provided for show before & after pictures as well as whole house remodels. This website has written Testimonials from some of the contractors & homeowner customers.
The internet has been instrumental helping new customers find us;
whether it be Google, our supplier’s & manufacturer’s websites,
referrals, the social media sites GMS, Inc. has, the longevity of
their URL, etc.; all contribute to help the company be found by their
customers.
GMS, Inc. has many homeowner customers that you would
expect to buy from you typically one time, but they have come back to
them many years later to buy more windows and doors for their home
& are happy to still find GMS, Inc. in the same location
especially after one of the worst recessions ever.
It is very gratifying to Tom & Wendy that they made it through another recession since the building & remodeling industry was hit so hard for years, while many other competitors had to close their doors. Sustaining their business is definitely something the owners, Tom and Wendy are thankful for!
