ABOUT S. L. PEMBERTON, INC.
S. L. Pemberton, Inc. is a contract furniture dealer and project management company located in Napa, California. Recognized in the industry as a highly skilled professional, Susan Pemberton established the company in 1978 to fill the need she saw for a service-oriented dealership. Over the years, services have expanded to include project and move management.
With an extensive background in the contract furniture industry, we are able to act as a resource for both the client and designer. We provide professional planning, budgeting, purchasing, coordination, and execution of large and small corporate furniture acquisitions and relocations. We anticipate the many challenges associated with costs and availability, thus enabling us to present multiple options and alternatives before costly decisions are made.
We act as our clients’ agent to protect their interests. Our experience gives us the knowledge of manufacturers’ capabilities, their track records, and the purchase concessions they are likely to make. Our company’s long-standing manufacturer relationships position us to negotiate the best possible purchase agreements for our clients.
S. L. Pemberton, Inc. is a team comprised of highly focused, hard working, detail-oriented individuals. We work in partnership with both the designer and client to reach strategic, mutually agreed upon goals.
HAPPY CLIENTS
Sue brings invaluable experience to the construction and remodeling projects at our firm. She plays a key role from the initial kick-off meeting to “move-in” day. Whether it is a small 5,000 sq. ft. project or a multi-floor 40,000 sq. ft. remodel. Sue’s incredible attention to detail is vital every step of the way. She is always on-site to oversee the entire process. Sue has also been very helpful in inventorying existing furniture for re-use, temporary storage or selling furniture we no longer need.
Any firm of any size would benefit greatly working with Sue Pemberton. She is very intuitive, hard-working and always conscious of the client’s budget. Regardless of the size of your project, Sue Pemberton is someone you want on your team.
I was introduced to Sue by a fellow ALA member in 2008. Since then she has assisted us in multiple office set-ups and relocations throughout California. They provide critical space planning, design, furniture procurement, logistics, relocation, set up and settle-in services on our firm’s behalf.
Sue is a knowledgeable, astute, creative, hard-working, cost-conscious, and ethical professional who is nimble in adjusting to today’s business demands and needs of any size or scope. In addition, she is sensitive to her clients’ priorities and bottom line. Any organization would benefit from her services.
We were introduced to Sue Pemberton through an ALA colleague in 2010. At the time our firm was planning a full-floor relocation to the Embarcadero Center and we brought Sue in to assist with the furniture. The services Sue provided quickly expanded to include the inventory of our existing furniture; she worked with the architects in space planning, new furniture design and office layouts.
Sue is thorough and thoughtful and offers great insights, earned through her years in the business. Sue is also a lot of fun! We continue to rely on Sue’s services as we continue to refurnish offices and redesign our service areas.
Recently, our law firm moved to a new building in San Francisco. We wanted to reuse as much of our existing furniture as possible, and Sue was able to fit everything we needed into the new office, and designed custom workstations to fit around concrete columns in the open area. In addition, she provided a custom conference table to match the existing furniture perfectly. She oversaw every aspect of the project and provided valuable input in meetings with the building management, general contractor and TI architect. She assisted with donating excess furniture and worked with outside vendors to provide additional accent painting and touch-up for the existing furniture.
We had a tight deadline to vacate our old lease, and Covid-19 delayed construction on the new space. With Sue’s help we were able to move out (and in) on time. Sue exceeded our expectations and we can’t recommend her highly enough. We love our beautiful new office.
