As the only national residential provider of concrete services, Sam The Concrete Man is positioned to establish market dominance. Colette Bell (Co-owner, Handyman Matters, 138 franchises worldwide) My background is in commercial concrete. I worked in it for 28 years and was tired of the chaos.

I watched the company grow for three years; then Todd offered me the chance to buy the Cincinnati branch and it was a no brainer. Chavis Kerby, Owner (Columbus, OH)

Mosquito Shield – Mosquito and Tick Prevention: How to Protect Adults, Children & Pets

Outdoor summer activities are half the fun of the season, but they also come with some risk of ticks and mosquitoes. Don’t worry, with our tips you can still enjoy your hiking, biking, outdoor weather while protecting yourself, your children and even your pets. Here are our top ways you can prevent ticks and mosquitoes in your favorite outdoor activities.

Protecting Adults

Since blacklegged ticks – aka deer ticks – are frequently located in wooded areas (and can transmit Lyme), it’s important to take precaution when going hiking or biking in these spots. Firstly, stick to trails rather than venture into thicker areas. Wearing long shirts and pants whenever you can is your best bet (with your shirt tucked in), and light-colored clothing will help you notice any stragglers that attach themselves to you. And before you step onto the trail, spray your clothes/shoes/backpacks with a repellent/insecticide. As soon as you get home, wash your clothing and throw …

STOP Restoration – 6 Questions to Ask Yourself in Order to Grow Your Restoration Business

Let’s clear out the fancy-pants business school buzz words and the complicated rambling from all the so-called experts.

No matter what industry you’re in, you’re bombarded with experts telling you how to grow. Some are partially informative. Some have a few good points.

Some… not so much. Some experts are just so over-the-top as they try to make you believe that you can be either a one-man show or a full-fledged cat-loss firm ready to serve half of the eastern seaboard if it gets above-average rainfall. Stop!

Growth isn’t created with all-or-nothing thinking. Growth is growth—just like we grew from children to adults: a little at a time. Logic always rules, and you should never look at growth problems as if they're complicated. If you’re having a problem growing, try stripping everything down to the bare facts:

How big do you want to grow this year?

What efforts have you made—and in what department/s? (If you’ve been reading some busi…

STOP Restoration – Hiring, Retaining, and Knowing when it’s Time to Say ‘Goodbye’

Are you confident in your bench?

We all know how hard it is to find good employees. We’ve all heard it: “People don’t want to work.”; “Don’t hire anyone younger than 30.”; “Everyone has an entitlement mentality.” Blah, blah, blah.

The situation is both kind of funny, and kind of sad. We all have to laugh about some of the employees we have seen through the years—some of which were no fault of our own.

There are liars out there, even a few con men—those with exaggerated resumes and over-rated value-to-employer perceptions.

Though we all agree on the difficulty of finding good employees, they are out there. Unfortunately, too many companies use this excuse to avoid writing and executing a comprehensive personnel plan.

A plan feels useless “since there are no good people out there anyway.” It lets us off the hook of learning anything more than we already know. In return, this “planned failure” zaps our energy to look for greatness and…

The Brothers that just do Gutters Testimonials

I see that it’s just a good fit for me. It’s going to be exciting, fun, and successful because of the business model that they have for us to follow. Kenneth P.

Executive Q&A with ecomaids CEO Lindsay Dellasega

Ecomaids CEO Lindsay Dellasega shares her insight as leader of the eco-friendly home cleaning service. What void does your brand fill? What was missing in the space before?

There is more awareness of the health and environmental benefits of using eco-friendly cleaning products. ecomaids, as an eco-friendly home cleaning service, addresses those customer demands better than any other brand.

What are you doing well right now? What are your brand’s differentiators?

I would say the corporate-managed marketing programs, our in-house …
