Our Story
The Good Directions story begins in 1982 when John Lodato decided to expand his regionally renowned relics and restoration business – United Housewrecking – to establish a company devoted to enhancing the home with affordable, uniquely crafted products that would reflect a homeowner’s particular style and personality. Combining his expertise in historical design with his son Michael’s ba
ckground in manufacturing and materials, the two created Good Directions. They began with a line of weathervanes and cupolas, becoming the first in their industry to implement wide-scale production and design. Sticklers for quality and customer service, Good Directions sought out the finest artists and artisans to create products that were not only functional but beautiful, soon gaining a reputation for the finest designs in the industry. Today, with Michael at the helm, Good Directions has expanded its line to include a wide range of decorative yet functional products for home and garden, including popular FireDomes™, rain chains and garden weathervanes. The company continues to attract innovative artists and designers eager to lend their vision to the creation of exceptional products to enhance the home, both indoors and out. No matter which way the wind blows, you can count on Good Directions to lead the way to a beautiful home.
