If installing your shelves yourself sounds intimidating, TG Platinum Installations LLC has got you covered. Based out of New York, the installation company mainly services the Tri-State area but is willing to travel anywhere within the United States. We caught up with the owner of TG Platinum Installations LLC, Travis Griffith, and asked about his background in construction, how he first got connected with Modern Shelving, and the benefits of hiring an installer. Here’s what he had to say.
Can you give us some background on TG Platinum Installations LLC?
With over six years of experience in the industry, my company specializes in providing top-notch home improvement services, including shelving units, TV mounting, closet systems, wallpaper, electrical work, and more.
Although my background is in construction, I am proud to say that many of my skills are self-taught. My passion for creation and building has driven me to continually master my craft, leading to my success. After working for several companies, I decided to take the leap and build my own brand.
As my own boss, I take immense pride in delivering exceptional service and quality work to my clients. At TG Platinum Installations LLC, I am committed to providing personalized solutions that exceed expectations. Let's work together to bring your home improvement vision to life!
How did you get connected with Modern Shelving?
Networking and social media have been game-changers for my business. Posting my work online led to a life-changing connection with John Clark, owner of Modern Shelving. Impressed by my craftsmanship, he reached out and we have been partners ever since.
This collaboration has taught me invaluable lessons: prioritize your faith, deliver exceptional work, and maintain a strong character. By doing so, you'll unlock countless opportunities. Meeting John has been a pivotal moment in my journey, and I'm grateful for the impact he's had on my life and business.
What are some projects you’ve work on with Modern Shelving?
I've had the privilege of collaborating with Modern Shelving on a diverse range of projects. One notable highlight was a project in Washington D.C., where a client was so impressed with my work that they hired us to travel from NYC to install a custom media unit system. This extensive project featured aluminum poles, wood shelves, and cabinets, showcasing my ability to deliver high-quality work.
You’ve seen many different shelving units through your work. How do Modern Shelving’s units compare?
Seriously, they are in a league of their own. The designs are incredible, so creative and stylish. And the quality? Top-notch! They use amazing aluminum and wood, and everything is built to last.
What I love most is how versatile they are. You can totally customize them to fit your space and style perfectly. It's like building your own dream storage solution! If you're looking for shelving, you absolutely won't be disappointed. Highly recommend.
How difficult or easy are the shelves to install?
While Modern Shelving systems can be relatively easy to install for handy individuals, some designs are indeed more straightforward than others. However, I strongly recommend hiring a professional installer, like myself, if you lack experience in this field.
What’s the benefit of people hiring an installer as opposed to trying to install themselves?
Hiring a professional to install your shelving unit offers numerous benefits, primarily providing peace of mind that the job will be done correctly. Attempting a DIY installation can lead to costly mistakes and damaging the unit or your home.
By hiring a professional, you avoid the risk of incorrect installation and additional expenses for repairs or replacements. With a professional installation, you can trust that the job will be done efficiently, safely, and to the highest standards.
What have been the reactions from the clients that you’ve worked with?
The reactions I've received from clients after completing an installation have been truly rewarding. Seeing the joy and satisfaction on their faces when they see their newly transformed space is incredibly fulfilling. It's moments like these that remind me why I'm passionate about my work—bringing happiness and functionality to people's lives, one installation at a time
What are your thoughts on the shelves?
I'm absolutely delighted with the shelves! They're not only durable and space efficient, but they also come in a wide range of colors and styles to match any home decor. The versatility and quality of these shelves make them a perfect addition to any room, adding both functionality and aesthetic appeal.
What has your experience been like working with Modern Shelving team?
My experience working with the Modern Shelving team has been exceptional. I feel fortunate to have partnered with a company that genuinely values my expertise and trusts me to deliver outstanding results to their clients. This collaborative relationship has allowed me to thrive and consistently provide top-notch service. I'm grateful for the opportunity to work together.
