Jeffrey Bassemier, president at Bassemiers Fireplace, Patio & Spa, has been recognized by Marquis Who’s Who Top Executives for dedication, achievements, and leadership in home improvement.
Mr. Bassemier has established a successful career in home improvement and construction. He currently excels as the owner and president of Bassemiers Fireplace, Patio & Spa, a position he has held since 2019. The business, a second-generation family company founded in 1968 by his father, was taken over by him and his brother in 2019. Throughout the years, he has held various roles within the company, including estimator, project manager, technician, and chimney sweep. His responsibilities include overseeing the company’s services, retail, marketing, and operations. He is also in charge of employee training, retention, and hiring, and works closely with his controller to manage the company’s finances and monthly accounting.
Additionally, Mr. Bassemier meets regularly with his leadership team to ensure alignment with the company’s vision and to stay informed on industry trends. He plays a key role in selecting high-quality products that uphold the company’s standards, ensuring only the best offerings reach customers. In order to maintain the company’s reputation, he personally responds to online reviews, particularly negative ones, to continually improve products and services, and with 90% of sales coming from referrals and repeat clients, he believes this has led to strong customer loyalty. He also leads a profit-sharing program where 45+ employees participate based on their contributions and tenure, and he prioritizes ensuring the company turns a profit each month to guarantee timely paychecks for all staff.
Additionally, Mr. Bassemier dedicates his time to several industry and community organizations, including the Hearth, Patio & Barbecue Association, a trade association that represents and promotes the interests of manufacturers, retailers, and service providers in the hearth, patio, and barbecue industries, focusing on advocacy, education, and industry standards, the National Chimney Sweep Guild, and the National Fire Protection Association. He is also a retired volunteer fireman and has served as a past board member for the local fire department. His community involvement extends to his church, where he has been a past board member of the parish council and a leader of the parish social committee. In light of his impressive undertakings, he has been honored with awards such as Best Hot Tub Showroom, Best Workplace to Work in Indiana, and numerous manufacturer’s awards. Laying a strong educational foundation for these successes, he earned an associate degree in industrial maintenance from Ivy Tech Community College in 2006, as well as certification as a chimney sweep from the Chimney Safety Institute of America.
Mr. Bassemier credits his success to active community involvement and consistently delivering on promises. In the coming years, he plans to shift the company’s focus from generating income primarily through product sales to a model driven by profits from services. To achieve this goal, he intends to double the staff in the service department and invest in the necessary equipment to support the expansion. Additionally, he has ambitious plans for his retail store, aiming to generate one million dollars in monthly revenue with a 40% margin. He envisions his company becoming a one-stop shop, with a franchise-style manual that ensures every customer experiences the signature Bassemiers’ service.
