On this episode of the  Simplifying Life podcast,  Mark, Zach and Michelle from SoundVision sit down with Grainda Builders with new President, Jason Tanenbaum. Grainda Builders is one of Lake Norman’s most established and respected local residential construction firms. 

We learn quite a bit about how Jason got his start in the industry and it might surprise you that it began in the dorms at the University of Georgia during this podcast with Jason of Grainda Builders. 

 

Grainda Builders has been one of the premier area builders SoundVision has had the privilege of working for. Congratulations for the Grainda team on their decision to make Jason Tanenbaum, President. Joe, Jason, Betsy and the rest of the team are all fantastic to work with!

“In 2002, Joe Grainda founded Grainda Builders, ready to bring his attention to detail and appreciation for craftsmanship to the custom home space. Shortly after forming the company, he teamed up with Jason Tanenbaum with the goal of growing Grainda to what it is today.

As we reflect on our 20th anniversary year and all that the Grainda Builders team has accomplished, we know we have much to look forward to in the decades ahead. We are excited to share with you all that Jason will be taking on the role of President and Managing Partner of Grainda Builders. And, in keeping with his original vision for the company, Joe will be continuing as Founder, CEO and will be focused on mentoring the next generation of builders and craftsman here at Grainda.”
