Founded in April 1959, Dixie Products is now a second generation family business that has consistently been nominated for Ethics in Business and top local small business awards. Dixie is a member in good standing with the Better Business Bureau (BBB), the International Door Association (IDA) and the Hearth, Patio and Barbecue Association (HPBA).
This business was started in 1995 as Luxury Bath. Tracy White, the current owner, started as a designer, and then bought the business in 2012. He later severed his ties with Luxury Bath, in order to have the freedom to offer multiple lines of inventory. He then changed the name to Better Bathrooms & Kitchens to reflect his independence.
I started in home improvement as the son of intrepid DIY'ers that spent most three-day weekends building decks, painting, or landscaping. At fifteen I found my first paying gig as a summer laborer on a nearby framing crew. Since then, I have always worked in building in some form. My experience includes a civil engineering degree from Virginia Tech and license as a professional engineer, design and project management on municipal water and sewer systems, construction of a modest project in Sudan using compressed earth blocks, and multiple light frame building and remodeling projects.
Contractors are required to be licensed in Virginia. There are two features of a contractor license. The first one is the class of license which determines the cost of projects that may be performed and the second is the classification/specialty of license, which determines what works are permitted.
To look up if a contractor's license has an active status or check a contractor's disciplinary history, a homeowner should use License Lookup tool.
Performing construction or demolition of structure, you are required by the State of Virginia a permit to be obtained. Building permits are issued by the local departments (cities and counties) in Virginia. Homeowners should verify with permit office to see if they need a building permit or where they should file their application.
