Forty Under 40

Lou Salge, 32


April 9, 2020

Vice President

Four Seasons Design & Remodeling / Angola, Ind.

  Labor shortage:   Quality team members are fewer and farther between, compared to five to 10 years ago. That’s one of the significant challenges for the next decade. So our company has created a master-apprentice system where we team up the older and younger tradespeople. Some of our project leads are looking to retire soon, and they have immense knowledge that needs to be transferred quickly. Also, it’s unrealistic to think the younger guys can become knowledgeable in all fields in just two or three years. So we try to keep them focused on specific directions. For example, if they’re carpenters, they might focus on cabinetry or rough framing.
