Woody grew up in Burr, getting his start on Saturday mornings as early as five years old holding “the boring end” of the tape measure for his father Bob Priest to aid in measuring roofs. After majoring in Economics & Finance at Eckerd College, Woody joined the family business full-time, initially as an estimator, gradually taking on more responsibility, and unexpectedly buying the business from his father at the end of 2013.

Starting out in 2014, it was a tag team with Tracy at the office & Woody estimating and managing the handful of exceptional craftsmen in the field. Today, Woody spends most of his time working strategically on the business as opposed to in the daily operations. He does his best to sneak out of the office and get involved with the custom Design & Build projects supporting the team with both design and execution. 

Since taking over the reins Woody has led the business in an evolved direction, following his passion for architectural design and dramatic exterior makeovers. Burrs’ new slogan “Life Improving Home Improvement” reflects our commitment to excellence and our objective of enriching the lives of both our Clients and Team Members through custom exterior remodeling. Our commitment to our clients is to create a custom exterior that is stunningly beautiful, relatively low maintenance, and a fiscally sound investment in the home’s value. Our commitment to our Team Members is to create a meaningful lifelong career based on craftsmanship, pride, and integrity.

Beyond Burr, Woody and his wife Taylor can usually be found on some adventure, likely centered around their dogs, boating, or building their homestead farm.
