Atmosphere Can Make a Difference
If you have wandered into your school gymnasium lately and looked at your bleachers, it can be a little disheartening to see them looking worn down, broken, faded, or otherwise in poor shape. The same can be said when walking through the halls where lockers are scratched and bent, or simply older than though ought to be. Old installations in your school can make it feel tired and kids may not have the respect or pride they should for their place of learning.

However, a change in pace can really boost your school in all sorts of ways. People will feel proud to walk in and see the bleachers in excellent shape. Kids will be excited to have a brand new bright locker to store their books and belongings in.

New Life for Your School
That’s where Carroll Seating Company comes in. We’ve worked with hundreds of schools since the 1950s, providing them with everything they need. This includes strong lockers and sturdy bleachers. The possibilities don’t just stop at student lockers or indoor bleachers. We can also provide you with metal storage lockers for teacher break rooms and outside stadium seating for all of the school’s sports games.

Customization is the best part! We can provide lockers, bleachers, and more, and make sure that they fit within the proper architectural design, are the right color, or in the case of bleachers, showcase your school’s mascot or initials! Bleachers can also be retractable so you save space when necessary.

Supplies for All Your Needs
We also make sure to keep all the parts on hand if you ever face a problem. This way it will be solved quickly and efficiently. We provide you with service every step of the way.

Installation Done
Imagine for a moment that you have contact a company to install new bleachers in your school. Now imagine that several years in the future a part breaks on the bleachers. Who do you call in this scenario? If it isn’t essential, do you leave it broken? Do you contact the manufacturer of the bleachers? Or can you call the company that installed the bleachers?

A lot of people wouldn’t be sure of the answer to this question. Most would assume that the manufacturer is responsible – but how do you find their information? When it comes to Carroll Seating Company, the answer is actually quite simple: we installed the bleachers and we have the parts to help you.

Service – Always
Excellent customer service is important today. It is what can make working with a company so much more enjoyable. The people are polite, efficient, and get you what you need without any problems. That’s what we focus on in tandem with the high quality products we offer. This is also why we make sure to keep a large stock of various parts ready and waiting in the event that a client needs one. Things happen – preparing for them is what keeps everything running smoothly.

We stock several hundred common replacement parts in our warehouse and ship within 48 hours so that your bleachers, auditorium, or stadium seating can be in top shape once again as soon as possible. Other seating companies may only focus on installation and when you need a part for something, refer you elsewhere. This can be a huge hassle and inconvenience. You have other important things to do rather than remain on the phone for hours trying to speak to the right person and obtain the right part.

Call Right Away
Carroll Seating Company has a toll free number you can call to speak with someone about the part you need. They can quickly let you know if it is available in our warehouse or can get it straight from the factory. It won’t take long before you know what is happening with the part you want and when it might arrive for you. Of course, if you have any additional questions feel free to ask. If you like, you can also email us with your information or questions.

Carroll Seating is always dedicated to providing you with all the services and products that you need.

This year Patrick (Pat) J. Carroll, Jr. marks his 35th year with Carroll Seating Company. After graduating with a Business Major from the University of Kansas Pat was the first of Carroll Seating’s second generation to enter the business to follow what his Father had started.

Q: How have the ways of business evolved since your beginning years?

A: I first started working in the office tracking labor and assisting salesman on field work. The years I spent in the field are invaluable and allowed me to quickly understand how to work with GC’s to coordinate deliveries and installations efficiently as well as to see and understand first hand field conditions.

Q: How have the ways of business evolved since your beginning years?

A: When I first started there were no cell phones or computers. Work was done on adding machines and in phone booths. I use to have to read my entire bid off to the GC on bid day- that was until the invention of fax machines.

Q: How has the market changed within your 35 years?

A: Today, schools are still purchasing the same things there is just a lot more rules and regulations needed to succeed- i.e. bidder qualifications, banking and bonding requirements.

Q: What has been your proudest moment these past 35 years?

A: There have been many. Some specifically are CSC’s commitment to service, product knowledge and continue loyalty. Our reputation in the industry among factories and end users is very strong. The true partnership we preach daily has taken hold and being heard. I’m proud that the message is strong and enduring.

Q: What growth do you foresee for your company in the next 5 years?

A: I see healthcare, higher education, professional labs, police, fire and the service, repair and support of the products we sell as the keys to the success of our future. The continued expansion of our markets to the level of our work load will allow us to become more diverse. We need to bring our expertise into new markets. We need to continually sell ourselves and products we represent and not just job sell at low cost. The next generation of buyers and sellers need to be focused in on quality and not be driven by low cost and short term solutions.

Q: What are you wishes for the third generation of Carroll Seating Company?

A: My wish is for the next generation to not lose sight of the importance of interpersonal relationships and not hide behind screens and smart phone but rather understand that people not machines make decisions. Relationships build on interactive contact of the ones that last. All too often emails are misunderstood, picking up the phone or getting in your car is the key to a successful relationship. Having said that; technology has made us capable of doing more, not necessarily more efficiently, but the sheer volume of what we can handle has grown because of technology. That is a reality that will continue but establishing a blend of technology and old fashion relationships is the key.
