Creative Countertops increases efficiency in its stone shop
Creative Countertops of Poulsbo, WA, runs a small shop with a few pieces of equipment, but with an efficient workflow in place the company is a top producer in its region
For some fabricators, expanding and growing the business means getting new machines, leasing out a larger plot of land and building bigger shops. But Bill Wyman, who has a philosophy of doing more with less, has been able to propel his fabrication business to one of the top performing in the area — being voted the number one countertop shop for four years in a row by readers of the West Sound Home & Garden magazine.
Wyman first began fabricating solid surface countertops with Meyer Laminates in Wilmington, NC, 25 years ago. The company produced one kitchen per day to supply cabinet shops and Lowes customers with Formica brand solid surface, “Surell.” In 2001, he moved to the Seattle area and started his business, Creative Countertops, located in Poulsbo, WA, in late 2002.
