Chip Gruver

Gruver-Cooley Corp., Leesburg, Va. Rather than eat up valuable lot space with a four-car garage, Leesburg, Va., builder Chip Gruver recently discovered the virtues of the Harding Steel hydraulic lift. “You can lower two cars into the basement, making a four-car garage out of a two-car garage,” he explains. “It’s really good for a tight site.”

In the bathroom, his clients like to pamper themselves with Kohler’s DTV-II shower system, which provides options for music, lighting, chromatherapy, water, and steam. Wall-mounted toilets from Geberit and opaque Kalwall skylights also make his and his crew’s list of favorites. And they enjoy working with Tanglewood Conservatories on residential conservatories and greenhouses. “People seem to really like them,” he says. – Meghan Drueding
