Specialties
From specification to post-installation support, Guy T. Gunter is with you. Thanks to our expert installation team, headed by Jon K. Chester (who's been with us for more than 30 years), Guy T. Gunter and Associates features the only total in-house appliance installation service in Atlanta. We begin by supplying specification sheets to all relative contractors. At the time of cabinet installation, you may call us out to double-check placement of electrical, gas and water locations to confirm a trouble-free appliance install. Afterwards we work with the cabinet maker to fine tune openings and install cabinet panels. Finally we offer a one year installation warranty, this guarantees that any complications directly related to our service will be corrected free of charge. Other appliance companies refer outside independent installers to their customers; with our in house installers we are capable of offering personal, long lasting service and support that is unparalleled in the industry.
History
Established in 1952.
Born in 1918, Mr. Gunter began as an entrepreneur picking up bottle caps at the age of seven. By the age of twelve Mr. Gunter owned the largest paper route in Atlanta. As he ascended the business ladder, his path was altered, due to the start of WWII. Serving his country as a Glider Pilot, he flew four missions including D-day. With the war over, he returned to Atlanta to start a family and found a business. Thus in 1952 Guy T Gunter and Associates was born. In the first ten years of business Mr. Gunter was credited with introducing and representing a number of prominent products to the southeastern marketplace. These products include Panasonic, Hitachi, Subzero, Thermador, Chambers and even everyone's favorite mood-light, the Lava Lamp. Afterwards Mr. Gunter continued building the organization we are today. With so many accomplishments in the appliance industry it is easy to see why Guy Gunter and Associates has been the preferred appliance vendor in Atlanta for over fifty years.
Meet the Business Owner: Theron G.
Theron started his life with his grandfather at the age of six months. "My grandfather is my oldest and best friend". From an early age Guy and Theron were inseparable, spending time in the evenings and flying together on Sunday. When he was old enough Mr. Gunter allowed him to begin work in the Warehouse. Starting at age twelve he spent all school breaks learning the business and at age eighteen elected to begin working full time. After spending a year as the warehouse grunt, he moved up to installation assistant. Then in succession ran his own delivery truck, managed the warehouse, and ran operations, including purchasing for the company. After overseeing the move from the original fourteenth street location our new location he was named Executive Director. Theron maintains a vision for the company that bridges the gap between old-school business values and new school efficiency.
