Consulting Services:
My consulting services are designed to help my clients save the most money possible on
flooring replacements and repairs.
1. Accurate measuring of flooring needs
Providing accurate measurements is extremely important in the
process of evaluating our client's current flooring expenses. We create
a report and diagram for every unit, complete with accurate and
detailed measurement information. Our diagrams include the correct
locations for carpet and vinyl seams, and can reduce the amount of
material waste. With accurate measurements our clients are assured
that they will not be over-charged for materials.
- Accurate measurements for every unit
- Proper seam placements
- Reduce material waste
- Control repair expenses
2. Inspection
We offer our clients an invaluable service where we will inspect the property
to determine the current flooring conditions, check
for any serious problems and create an outline with the most efficient
way to proceed with flooring management. Our inspection process exposes
current flooring conditions and needed repairs, maintenance problems, and any concerns that
should be addressed promptly. Having this information allows us
to help our clients develop a long term flooring strategy that will be
able to meet their needs and goals and save them money.

3. Maintenance personnel training
Many property owners and property management companies hire
people to maintain their properties. We offer a training program to
educate maintenance people about flooring. Some of the detailed topics
we cover are:
-
Performing scheduled inspections
-
Recognizing
floor problems
-
Flooring damage prevention
-
Preparing
for the arrival of flooring installers
-
Floor preparation techniques
- Proper
floor care
- Tricks of the trade
When Maintenance people are
knowledgeable about flooring, they are able to save any property owner a
tremendous amount of money. If, due to their flooring training, they are
able to prevent just one kitchen floor from becoming ruined,
they would
literally save the property owner hundreds of dollars on the floor replacement
cost. Multiply that by any number and you can easily see the incredible value of
maintenance personnel training.
4.
Analyze past and current flooring
expenses
We take a long hard look at our clients' current flooring
expenses. Chances are good that they are paying too much for
what they are getting. Armed with accurate flooring measurements, we
are able to expose the areas where our clients have been the victim of
excessive waste of materials, over-measuring, over-charging, or other
unwarranted and unnecessary charges that have occurred. We work out a
plan to correct the problems.
We can help in many ways, including negotiating with flooring vendors,
reducing waste, switching to similar but less
expensive products and more. The result is a significant long-term
reduction of flooring expenses for our clients. We can also streamline
management operations by implementing a program to enhance communications with
flooring vendors. Our "standardized invoicing" program will "lock-in" a price for materials
and labor charges that can't be changed without prior approval by the
property owner or management company.
-
Compare similar products for quality and savings
potential
-
Streamline communications with vendors.
-
Lock out confusion, Lock-in savings
-
Eliminate any possible
over-charging. Forever
5. Selecting the right materials
Equally important is the service we provide where we help our
clients determine the proper selection of flooring materials. It
involves pricing and durability, but also taken into consideration are
many other variables, such as, future plans of selling the property.
Everything we do is aimed at meeting the long range needs, goals and
ultimately the most amount of savings for our clients.
- Durability-Use the products that will serve your
needs.
- Price-Spend only the amount necessary to reach your goals.
Sometimes there is a fine line
between durability and price, and someone has to make a judgment call. We
provide our clients with the facts that allow them make smart decisions.
6. Detailed installation instructions
It is very important that our
clients maintain complete control of all aspects of the flooring process in
order to save the most money in the long run. For this reason we provide our
clients with a detailed instruction sheet for the flooring installers that they
will be using. This Important information informs the installers of the
guidelines that our clients have pre-determined. Some of the detailed
instructions that are listed are:
- Acceptable arrival and departure times,
- Contact information,
- Toilet and appliance procedures,
- Floor preparation guidelines,
- Approved wood products
- Floor repair guidelines and procedures,
- Approved transition metals,
- Completed job requirements and expectations
Property owners should expect that every flooring installation is done in the
exact same way, in every single unit. By simply making our clients wishes
known, every flooring installer hired will know exactly how to complete the job
the way that the property owner desires, thus eliminating any guess work or
confusion.
