Ryder Before & After

3111 Brady — the office

BOUGHT May 2024 · STATUS our office · THE WORK roof, windows, siding, floors, reception, conference room

Our own office. We bought the old Trophy Shoppe building on Brady Street in May 2024 and rebuilt it into the home base for the business — new roof, new windows, new siding, new flooring throughout, and a full interior build-out. The old sales floor became a reception area with a shiplap-front desk and butcher-block top in front of a slat-wood wall, and the conference room got a hand-built beam light fixture with caged pendants, a butcher-block table on steel legs and a sliding barn door.

New siding

The old yellow siding was peeling and rotted through at the bottom courses. We cut out the rot, replaced it with new pressure-treated boards, wrapped the building and put on new gray shake siding with white trim.
