I recently got a noteworthy quote from a very
successful friend: “The answer is an automatic
no-if you don’t ask!!” NOW, that is something to
think about isn’t it?
The restoration industry seems to keep growing so that means more technicians needed. We have a new technician starting tomorrow and still in search of one more to hire.
The technicians for First Restoration Services are some very hard working individuals. They have been on repair jobs to sewage losses this past week. The jobs can last anywhere from a couple of hours to a month or longer depending on what it is. These guys come to work with smiles on their faces and ready to work. Attitudes like this make it a better place to work for everyone at First Restoration Services. Keep it up!!!!
I remember my first cell phone…it resembled a military walkie talkie….I don’t need to tell you of the sophisticated phones of today. What I would like to talk about are the application for phones today. One such application will revolutionize the restoration industry when it comes to water damage reporting. There is a new program that allows you to do all your room calculations, RH and Temp reading of dehumidifiers and tell you how many air movers to use. This program tracks all of the above with special instructions as when to take equipment out as the room is drying. Very helpful for progressive companies that want the best and up to date technology for their clients. This is a web based program that is real time downloads. Multi-user friendly with very good support, the program runs on the Window Mobile platform. If tracking your water damage mitigation is important to your organization this program is a must.

I would suggest you go to Lisa Ford’s website www.lisaford.com and gather some customer service wisdom

When you sit back and think about the sheer number of property management companies in Western North Carolina, it is amazing. Last week I made some of my regular visits and was reminded once again how the larger companies seem to have everything running smoothly. These property managers are able to help their owners with some of the paperwork required for having rentals, are willing to be involved when there is an emergency service need, and seem to select quality tenants to avoid a lot of headaches later. So, if you have a few (or a lot of) rental properties and haven’t thought about how easy it would be to hand the management over to a full-time property manager, think again! If you decide to proceed with hiring a property manager, we’d be happy to recommend one in Brevard, Hendersonville, Asheville, or in greater WNC.
If you don’t know what all your homeowners insurance policy covers then you might want to check into it. These afternoon thunderstorms that we are having seem to be getting some basements wet from ground water coming in. So it could not hurt to call your insurance agent to see what all is covered under your policy.
