Danny Johnson opened the Cordova store in 1979. He and David Franklin own the company between them, and in 2017 they added the Gardendale showroom so the Jefferson County side had a room you could stand in. Same crews, same warehouse, same free itemized estimate. What changes is how you buy, and it changes a lot.
