20 story artWhat is the “20” Story? Many people have noticed that our phone number ends in “20”, our street address ends in “20” and our easy-to-remember website "www.am20.com" also ends in “20”. Well, there is an explanation behind that! The “20 story” started with the Pareto Principle of 80/20: our top 20% of customers provided about 80% of the incomes. This has led us to exclusively focus on excellent service for these top-tier commercial customers. We desire to give “20% more” than the competition to prove our worth to our “top 20” customers every day.

We look forward to the opportunity to earn your business and to become a value-added partner on your design and construction team.

Vero Beach Municipal Power PlantSUBJECT: Architecture Metals’ Job Performance

I wanted to thank you John for the professional attitude you demonstrated as Project Manager during the installation of the flood proof doors, panels, and louvers here at Vero Beach Municipal Power Plant.

As with any job there were a few discrepancies between the Power Plant and Architecture Metals, all being in the contract language, not the quality of material and workmanship.

You always made yourself available for these problems and assisted in the solution for all parties involved. Anytime I called for information you had the answer I needed and always made yourself available.

As Projects Coordinator here at the Power Plant I am well aware of schedules and deadlines. You kept me informed of the progress of the job, any problems that developed, and always informed the Plant when you would be on site.

It was a pleasure working with you on this project and seeing it to completion.
