Local Manufacturer Excited to Serve New Orleans Resident

By Cora Hegler

Fowler, MI -- Excitement buzzed at J.J. Wohlfert's Custom & Standard Trim, Fowler's wood trim manufacturer, yesterday. New Orleans homeowner, Lavonsell Rogers, told J.J. Wohlfert's Tony Wolniakowski, "I'm so glad I found you." The office at J.J. Wohlferts was excited, because since hurricanes Katrina and Rita, they have looked for ways to supply those rebuilding the Gulf Coast.

J.J. Wohlfert's started making quality architectural mouldings for local homeowners in 1985, launching JJWohlferts.com in 2003. They now serve customers in nearly every state. Wolniakowski explains to Internet customers, "We'll ship UPS. Then, anything over 100 feet is usually cheaper to go freight." J.J. Wohlfert's has success shipping large and small amounts of trim.

As Ms. Rogers finalized shipping details with JJWohlfert's, she stated, "There just is not a wide variety" of materials to choose from. "The number of people that's trying to find material, [at stores like Home Depot and Lowe’s] - it's just massive." Rogers explained the difficulty residents of the gulf coast continue to face as they seek quality building supplies.

Rebuilding after hurricane Katrina, last summer, Ms. Rogers was searching for choices beyond the standard white MDF offered at the big box stores. She searched on Google and found JJWohlferts.com offering the choices she wanted. Overcoming her circumstances, Rogers looked beyond the apparent shortage and found what she needed. J.J. Wohlfert’s is excited to know her New Orleans home will soon be restored.
