A Word From Our Owner
“When I started SDR back in 1979, I was told continually that Kenosha was a “tough nut to crack.” Well, we’re still here after 47 years through two bad recessions, AMC/Chrysler closing, along with many other industries closing or leaving the area. I attribute our success to our diverse community of great hard-working people.
I have operated SDR on the principle of treating a customer as if I were in their shoes on the other side of the counter. Good communication leads to a proper understanding. This is of utmost importance in solving your problem.
We also emphatically back up our work so you can have complete peace of mind that we will be there when you need us to work out any concerns you have. My promise to you is always to serve you by `THE GOLDEN RULE’ (MT 7:12)” – Steven D Rovik, Owner
