Welcoming our New Dealers from the Buffalo, N.Y. Region

Introducing the talented, passionate, and close-knit team behind TMP of Buffalo. They’ll be serving the Buffalo-Niagara region, in close collaboration with their parent corporation, recognized as Buffalo’s premier general contracting company. Founded by Domenic's father and uncle, the company will mark its 75th anniversary in 2026 and has since grown and diversified, now led by Domenic and his children, Phil, Nick, and Michelle.

Domenic, with 53 years of experience and a hard-working ethic, has built a strong foundation in masonry and business. He is also a radio host of the popular Buffalo show "Hammer Time Radio" and appears on local television. His dedication to customer satisfaction and family culture has shaped the company's core values. Domenic is also a proud grandfather of eight.

Phil, the eldest, married and father of 3, worked for his family throughout high school, but mostly during the summer months. He also worked for a friend’s father's construction company, doing framing work and gaining hands-on construction experience. Phil later took on the project management role of his family’s business, working hard and working his way up. Many years later, now focuses on design, sales, and marketing, which he loves doing, with a team of project managers.

Nick got his degree in business management at Canisius College and also started working for the family business throughout the summer months. He worked in various construction roles such as framing, tiling, drywall, roofing, and siding. Nick became a rough framing carpenter, building additions and focusing on that for a while. He eventually switched things up and obtained a Six Sigma certification along with his real estate license, before starting the sunroom division at the company. Nick is married with two boys.

Michelle, a mom of 3 now, had been working in the office for her dad throughout her high school years. She also went to Canisius College to study marketing, digital media, and graphic design. Eventually, she made her way back to the family’s business and dove into the marketing side of things before later discovering her love for interior decorating. Michelle got certified in the field and started working with customers on all the design components of their projects. Michelle has also been involved in several high-profile decorating projects, giving back to the community through her creative talents.

Tyler, a University of Buffalo graduate, began his career in radio, where he produced Domenic’s radio show and met his present-day girlfriend. Bonds were made soon after, and he eventually decided to join this family’s enterprise. He climbed the rungs quickly to become a carpenter’s assistant and has now switched focus to handling sales, design, engineering, and permitting for the company.

Matt, a childhood friend of Phil, has extensive experience in construction and a university degree in environmental science. He got involved in framing and built houses for about 15 years. He joined the company in 2021 starting off in sales and has also fast-tracked to design for them as well. He loves having the opportunity to connect with clients and contribute to their home projects. He’s got 2 kids who are involved in a lot of travel sports, making him a very busy dad.

The team chose Techno Metal Post for its innovative solutions, seeing it as a game-changer for deck projects and a perfect complement to their diverse offerings. With this new addition, TMP Buffalo is set for even greater achievements built on a foundation of love, dedication, and teamwork. Welcome to the family everyone!

TMP of Southeast Wisconsin Transfers Hands!

We are happy to introduce Scott Gagliano, our new dealer from Southeast Wisconsin, who has started a new chapter in his professional life. With a rough carpentry and framing background, he’s transitioned to taking ownership of an existing TMP dealership from Jim Hilligoss. He’s been married 26 years now and has a son and a dog to complete his strong family life. His wife, Gwen, has helped manage his previous business and intends to continue doing so for the Southeast Wisconsin dealership.

Having been a rough carpenter for 33 years, Scott has primarily focused on framing for large home constructions and in recent years, felt the need to shift gears and explore new opportunities. The physically demanding nature of the job motivated him to consider other solutions. The opportunity to buy an existing dealership happened when Jim, the previous owner, decided to sell. Scott had known Jim for about two years, having first met at a framing job where Jim was installing piles for a deck job. Impressed with the work, he began exploring this avenue.

Scott spent weeks researching this field, comparing TMP to other companies in the market. He found himself consistently drawn back to TMP, confident that it was the right choice for him. He said, “I find it almost shone out! You know?”

During this time, Scott teamed up with Brian Kelly, another dealer from Southwest Wisconsin, to complete two installation jobs, further confirming his decision to join the TMP family.

The transfer of ownership happened quickly, taking just a few months from start to finish. Scott is eager to continue Jim’s legacy and looks forward to what the future holds.

We are excited for Scott and anticipate great success in his new venture!

Techno Pieux du Nord Transfers Ownership!

Techno Pieux du Nord starts a new chapter, as we welcome Dany Gaudreault and Marie-Danièle Perron, who acquired the dealership from its former owner Yves Merette. Here's some background information...

In 2004, Dany began working at a manufacturing company as a summer employee. Thanks to his many skills, he quickly made his way up the ranks, eventually becoming a team leader working in collaboration with a foreman. In May 2023, he accepted the position of supervisor, which he held until February 2024.

As for Marie-Danièle, in spring of 2015 she graduated as an engineering technician and then studied to become a mechanical engineer at the University of Chicoutimi. After working for a few years, she took maternity leave. Upon returning to the workforce, she transitioned into her current role as a maintenance engineer.

Previously, the couple had tried to acquire a business, but their efforts were fruitless. They took the next step and presented their business plan to a major financial institution offering support to prospective entrepreneurs and then, in the fall of 2023, a new opportunity presented itself. They were approached and offered the chance to acquire an existing dealership.

After signing non-disclosure agreements, discussions then quickly progressed. They visited our Techno Metal Post headquarters and were immediately won over by the team, the facilities and by TMP overall. Finally, in February 2024, they signed to become owners of the Techno Metal Post North dealership.

Over the years, Dany's experience in renovation and construction has proved to be an invaluable asset in launching this new business. As for Marie-Danièle, she plans to assist her husband with the administrative work and submission process that's involved with the business, while continuing her career as an engineer.

Introducing a New Dealership in Europe: TMP Madrid

Our network expands within Spain, as TMP welcomes Jaime Romero and his friend Arnaud as new dealers for TMP Madrid. Recently, these gentlemen came to Canada simply out of curiosity, to visit the Techno Metal Post offices, which they had heard so much about on several occasions. Accompanied by Guillaume Danis, owner of Techno Metal Post Oxford and market developer in Europe, these future business partners were truly impressed by the positive and collaborative spirit within the company.

Their story began when Arnaud, originally from France, fell in love with a beautiful Spanish woman while on a trip to Madrid. During their time together, she introduced him to her friend's life partner, Jaime, who later became his good friend. The two of them, having very different career backgrounds, would often discuss the idea of starting a business together.

Arnaud is a friend of the de Franssu family, who oversees several Techno Metal Post companies in France. Therefore, he was well aware of their success, and increasingly saw the same potential to develop the almost untouched market within Spain. It was at the beginning of 2024 that Arnaud and Jaime decided to take the first step in their new venture together and visit TMP located in Canada, where the company was founded.

After a week of meetings and discussions, everyone knew they would be part of the family! It is with great pleasure that we welcome them and wish them much success!

West Coast Canada Expands with New Dealers from Vancouver Island

It's such a great pleasure to welcome Jesse Touzin and Véronique Dupéré to our amazing Techno Metal Post family! We recently had the opportunity to meet with these new dealers, who will be serving Vancouver Island on Canada's West Coast.

Originally from Quebec, they were captivated by the climate and charm of Vancouver Island, where they have been living for 8 years now.

Jesse has been a driller for over 25 years, for various Canadian companies. He knows all the hidden treasures the ground can hold, "even if each hole is unique," he says. For the past 4 years, he has owned a deep-sea fishing business, and it was there that he met Kevin Parkin, owner of Techno Metal Post Kelowna. From the moment he arrived for the fishing trip, the topic of conversation revolved around Techno Metal Post technology. It was Kevin who a few years earlier, had come to MacMillan Provincial Park, to install over a hundred helical piles on which to build the magnificent footbridge that meanders through the Cathedral Grove trails.

Jesse was immediately sold on the idea that this was the way forward for his career. He had always wanted to own a viable year-round business, and now he had the opportunity to have all that, along with all the marketing, mechanical and engineering support provided. He's never been more certain of his decision, apart from the moment he met his partner Véronique!

Véronique, his long-term partner, is involved in many of his projects, and together they form a wonderful team! She's been in the restaurant business for 24 years now and says that she's decided to step out of her comfort zone by accepting this challenge with Techno Metal Post. But Véronique isn't afraid of a good challenge: a skilled hiker, she's climbed and reached some 6000m summits, including some Himalayan mountains. Véronique's enthusiasm and people skills will enable her to offer her customers outstanding service.

We wish them much success!!

Extending a Warm Welcome to Techno Metal Post SE Michigan LLC

Techno Metal Post proudly welcomes a new dealer from Southeast Michigan. Jonathan Summerville joins the TMP family with a diverse background which now serves him in his new endeavors.

Jonathan and his wife are expecting a baby this upcoming year and we congratulate them on the new addition to their family! Originally from Vermont, he is an avid outdoor enthusiast and has traveled extensively. Growing up, his dad introduced him to woodworking at a young age, which later served him as a custom furniture maker in Brooklyn, NY.

His educational background is exciting and unconventional, having graduated from Long Island University with a degree in Global Studies. There, he focused on the effects of tourism in developing countries while living in different parts of the world each semester. He has many passions and skills and has tinkered in many trades throughout his lifetime.

He moved to Detroit in 2016, investing in real estate and renovating old homes. He says, “I'm proud of the work I've done, and my contribution to the city's ongoing transformation.”

In 2017, Jonathan began his career as a professional deck builder, and a few years later learned about helical piers as a foundation solution. His initial contact with Techno Metal Post happened while working on a deck project in Vermont. He needed a helical pier installer and came across a local dealer with TMP Vermont. In speaking with him, he quickly realized the potential of bringing a dealership to Southeast Michigan to service that area.

Today, he is the latest addition to our ever-expanding dealership network. Techno Metal Post wishes Jonathan a warm welcome and much success ahead!

Welcome our New Dealers- Techno Metal Post Vancouver!

Join us in welcoming Mike and Troy, a father and son duo, with Techno Metal Post Vancouver for becoming the newest dealers within the TMP network.

Mike worked in the family business for 25-30 years along with his brother, developing and building industrial parts and mechanical repair facilities for the forestry, mining, oil, and gas sectors. Over those 25 years, the two brothers built an international company with multiple branches., spanning many different countries.

Troy has a business administration/management degree major and has passionately played hockey for 21 years. Among many achievements, he has also been part of Division One in Anchorage Alaska, and Division 3 in New York. About five years ago, he decided to start his own business in professional window cleaning for buildings and houses and alternate between that and hockey.

Mike came across our helical pier foundation system while working on his home project. He explained, “Kevin Simoes, a great architectural designer and a significant influence, is the one who introduced me to Techno Metal Post. Kevin has been providing insights for my (still under construction) place. This home, once completed, will serve as a big testimonial because it showcases everything we need to demonstrate about helical pier foundations.”

Considering Mike’s impressive background and experience with many high-profile business professionals, he had great things to say about TMP and emphasized how rare it was to meet such a tight-knit and passionate company. He says, “It's part of why we chose Techno Metal Post”. He is particularly excited that Troy is exposed to this refreshing and motivating opportunity.

We are thrilled to have Techno Metal Post Vancouver join our TMP family, and we wish them much success!
