The Couto Culture
The culture of Couto Homes is one of the many reasons the Couto team loves to come to work each day. The values of the company, combined with the feeling that each employee is family, is incomparable. This kind of culture doesn’t come with any job- it’s something that is built from the foundation- much like home building.
The foundation of Couto Homes began many years ago when Donny started building homes with his father. He had a real knack for the business at a young age, and realized early on that customer service is of utmost importance. From his experience, he developed the Couto Homes values, and the company has stayed true to them ever since. “Treat people right. Never go back on your word. Offer the highest quality home, alongside quality service, for the best value.”
As Donny learned more about the home building process and Couto Homes was born, he kept those values at the forefront of everything he did to grow his company. He realized that to achieve the goals he had, he needed the right team with him. Donny always knew that no matter how big the company grew, the family-feeling culture was important to have- whether there were five employees or a hundred. He wanted to make sure that Couto Homes was a place of professionalism, quality service, beautiful homes, and happy homeowners. But he also wanted to make sure that his staff was happy. “If you want your team to feel valued and expect them to want to come to work, you have to treat them right, and I think we’ve done a pretty solid job at achieving that. Kindness is contagious, and if we share all of this with our Couto family, then it naturally trickles down to our homeowners.”
In striving to keep this family-feeling culture in a growing company, it isn’t unusual to see the entire Couto team at a bowling alley, picking up trash on their adopted highway, fishing, or simply at a cookout and cornhole tournament at one of the employee’s homes.
