Patti leads Cabinetry Operations at Randy Wise Homes, collaborating closely with WoodHarbor designer Lisa Arp and a talented team of sales professionals, project managers, and installers to bring beautifully crafted homes to life across the Florida Panhandle.

 

How Randy Wise & WoodHarbor Partnership Began

“I was first introduced to WoodHarbor while working in remodeling at Randy Wise Homes in the early 2000s. At the time, we were sourcing cabinets through local suppliers, but our leadership team wanted to explore working directly with a manufacturer to ensure better quality and consistency. After researching several options and visiting WoodHarbor, they quickly connected with both the craftsmanship of the product and the company’s family-owned values, which closely mirrored our own.

 

We began partnering with WoodHarbor in 2010, starting on a smaller scale, and the relationship has continued to grow ever since. Today, WoodHarbor cabinetry is specified in all of our new construction homes and has remained our trusted cabinet partner for more than 15 years.

 

What makes the partnership work so well is how closely our philosophies align. Both Randy Wise Homes and WoodHarbor started small, grew through strong relationships, and focus on long-term customer satisfaction rather than being the lowest-cost option. It’s about doing things the right way, delivering real value, and creating a quality product. That shared approach is why WoodHarbor cabinetry fits so naturally into our homes.”

 

What I Love Most About WoodHarbor

“What I love most about working with WoodHarbor is how reliable the entire partnership feels. Customer service is always responsive, questions get answered quickly, and if something comes up, there’s always a solution. The delivery process is another standout. Orders arrive on time, packaged with care, and consistently accurate. It’s even become a bit of a moment on our job sites when the beautiful WoodHarbor truck pulls up right on schedule, with Jay driving and his pup Paisley riding along in the passenger seat. On the rare occasion we need a replacement part, turnaround times are fast, which helps us keep projects moving smoothly for our homeowners.”

 

What I’m Most Excited About

“I’m especially excited about the updates coming to the Breeze platform. We’re looking forward to incorporating more modifications into our designs and giving homeowners even greater flexibility to create truly unique spaces.”
