A tough housing market may have fewer people buying new homes, but home improvement company
Hansons know that hasn’t stopped homeowners from investing in their current properties.
“When people are not buying new homes, they understand they can’t move, but wan to make their home the best it can be,” says Hansons owner Brian Elias. “In Lansing, people really, really love their homes. When that happens, you have communities coming together you see a transformation of entire neighborhoods.”
The Lansing office of the Troy-based Hansons has been keeping up with that demand by hiring new staff to handle the increase in work. The office is currently hiring up to five new salespeople. They are also looking to hire a number of temporary marketing employees.
“We hire field marketers, who go out to jobs sites, pass out flyers and talk to the neighbors,” says Elias. “We think that helps with unemployment.”
Elias expects the
Dewitt office to continue its growth as Hansons explores additional product lines to offer their customers.
