"West Shore Home was founded in 2006 in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, and has grown from a single location to operating in 40 U.S. markets with more than 3,000 employees. Over the past few years, the company has tapped into artificial intelligence and a growing number of technological tools to greatly accelerate the process, scheduling, pricing, and even design of the most common home renovation projects."
"Despite the seemingly bespoke nature of each customer's home renovation quirk, the most common types of renovation jobs are actually pretty similar, Werzyn says, making them possible to systematize. "If you were comparing us to a restaurant, we're more like a fast-casual restaurant. A Chick-fil-A or a Chipotle. Very consistent, very repeatable," he says."
"West Shore Home follows a project from beginning to end with its own employees, tracking every step and decision along the way. That means the company knows how long it took to do a given project, how many installers were involved, what skilled trades were required, what permits had to be pulled, what the job cost analysis was, and how the job actually turned out compared to what was originally planned."
West Shore Home was founded in 2006 in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania and expanded from one location to operate in 40 U.S. markets with more than 3,000 employees and nearly $1 billion in annual revenue. The company applies artificial intelligence and other technologies to accelerate project scoping, scheduling, pricing, and design for common renovation jobs. The home renovation market typically outsources work to subcontractors for materials and labor, but West Shore brings scoping, planning, design, and construction in-house. Many common renovation projects are similar enough to systematize, enabling consistent, repeatable processes. Projects are tracked end-to-end, recording timelines, labor, permits, costs, and outcomes versus plans.
