Passing of the Torch: Meet our New Dealer in New York
Fred Krol of Log Chips and Timber-Solutions (a division of Log Chips), has served the Warwick, New York and surrounding area as a custom log home, timber frame home, and hybrid home independent dealer for nearly 30 years. Fred built a solid reputation on integrity, dependability, craftsmanship and commitment to service. He and his team worked diligently and expertly to guide clients through each step of the process from initial inception to Certificate of Occupancy.
Moreover, Fred has received dozens of sales achievement awards throughout his extensive career. Most recently he was named Timberhaven’s 2017 Representative of the Year. He then earned the same achievement in 2018. He also earned Timberhaven’s Innovative Marketing Award in 2019 when he launched a new division, Timber-Solutions, along with a website to support these efforts.
Since inception, Fred and his team have helped hundreds of families design and build their dream homes. In 2020, Fred is bringing his own dream to fruition as he moves into a new chapter in his life: retirement. Throughout the year, Fred will assume a new capacity as “consultant” within his organization, and the proverbial reigns will be held by the new business owner, Mike Callaghan.
Meet our New Dealer
A New Jersey native, Mike has spent his professional career on Wall Street. Personally, though, he was longing for a new venture. As such, Mike is now working full-time with Fred at his office in Warwick and looks forward to assuming full ownership (including moving into Log Chips’ live-in model log home in Warwick) in 2020.
Lynda Tompkins, principal at Timberhaven, says, “Fred Krol’s expertise in our log and timber home industry has been extremely impressive. He is a highly respected leader among the building profession, and his outstanding sales and customer service efforts do not go unnoticed. We’ve been fortunate to have such a passionate salesperson, and lifelong friend, on our team.”
Fred, on behalf of everyone at Timberhaven Log & Timber Homes, we will miss your energy, expertise and even your sarcasm. It has been a pleasure working with you and getting to know you, and we wish you nothing but the best as you venture into your well-deserved retirement. Thank you for your lifelong commitment and dedication. Mike, we sincerely look forward to working with you. We are here to help you carry on Fred’s ever-burning torch.
