Please excuse our temporary mess out front as Compton Construction works on updating our overhang with a modern metal roof and new flower boxes to enhance the exterior of our business.

We’d like to extend a big thank you to Brandon Compton and his crew for the outstanding work they continue to do for us. We also appreciate the support from the Decatur Downtown Development Authority for providing grant funding to help offset a portion of these costs for improvements.
