SERVPRO has the Snazziest Uniforms

1/11/2022 (Permalink)

SERVPRO Uniforms Milan has nothing on us.

SERVPRO of South Cabarrus County doesn’t just allow the shabbiest of the shabby to inhabit our work vans and office hallways. We have strict standards for the dress of our employees, and they always dress for success.

The look begins with a black polo--smart, sleek, stylish--a timeless piece of fashion since time immemorial. We don’t stop there. Far better than the cliche “Supreme” logo on most “popular fashion,” we plant the SERVPRO logo on the polo with pride. On a chilly day, you’ll find a franchise professional with a similarly-designed hoodie: black, SERVPRO logo, soft and comfortable. You’ll oftentimes find a black baseball cap with the logo or a toboggan with the same design donning the strong craniums protecting the clever minds of our employees.

Down below, professional slacks, cargo pants, or dungarees, and safe, smart work boots finish up the look at the bottom.

You won’t find a better-dressed cleanup and restoration professional in the biz!

Concord SERVPRO Reviews

1/11/2022 (Permalink)

A medal for winning a competition We each get to wear one of these 24/7 if our scores don't drop beneath 4 stars.

4.3 Stars out of 5: That’s not half bad, folks! That means the vast majority of people have given us at least four stars, and the rest gave us perfect marks! In an industry as contentious as ours, that’s a pretty solid review. Keep in mind that we don’t delete reviews (unless they were left by someone who wasn’t even a customer!), and we don’t hide our reviews--we’re proud of them.

Some cleaning and restoration companies aren’t as jazzed about their reviews. They definitely don’t put them front and center on their websites! Not only do we openly show our reviews--we write blog posts about them. Blog posts like the one you’re reading right now.

So if a 4.3 cuts the mustard for you, and you need some damage cleanup and restoration, you should call SERVPRO of South Cabarrus.

SERVPRO has Strict Standards of Quality

A man gives a thumbs up This guy gave us a thumbs up--what more do you need to see?

If you’re calling SERVPRO, you’re likely not calling us to come clean up spilled milk. You’re most likely calling SERVPRO because you’ve got a big job you need us to take care of! The good news is SERVPRO of South Cabarrus doesn’t quit during big jobs. Sometimes it will take hours and hours of labor. Sometimes it will take days. Rarely, it will take weeks.

Regardless of the time required for the size of the job, you can know that SERVPRO will not bail part way through. We have strict standards of quality for our work, and we don’t do halfway jobs. When SERVPRO shows up, gives you an appraisal, and says the work will be done, that means the work will be done. If you’ve had rough experiences with previous restoration companies, your rough experiences end the day you call SERVPRO!

More Locations than you can Count!

10/21/2021 (Permalink)

A map with pins on it Okay, MAYBE we don't have locations in this many countries, but we're pretty darned close.

Did you know that there are more than 1700 SERVPRO locations in North America? No? Why not? What did you learn at that fancy schoolhouse you went to? Oh well, nevermind.

Anyhow, SERVPRO has over 1700 locations in North America, and over 1500 in the USA!

So if you find yourself in a jam and you need some damage cleanup and restoration, don’t choose some Johnny Come Lately without experience or hundreds of positive reviews, and opt for the folks who have thousands of locations with dozens of positive reviews for each location! It takes hard work and plenty of know-how to build one business, let alone thousands, so you can be confident each of our locations is as professional as the next.

Teamwork makes the dream work!

9/10/2020 (Permalink)

Our teamwork makes the dream work to complete all jobs!

The definition of teamwork is the effective and efficient combined action of a group of people. "The History of Team building," says the idea of teams emerged in the late 1920s and early 1930s with the now-classic Hawthorne Studies. Researchers agreed that the most significant factor was building a sense of group identity, a feeling of social support, and cohesion that came with increased worker interaction. One of the original researchers, Elton Mayo, pointed out certain critical conditions: the manager had a personal interest in each team member's achievements, took pride in the team's record and continuously posted feedback and helped the team set their own work conditions. It was also noted that the group took pride in their work, and people noticed their achievements; the group did not feel pressured to change, and if any changes were made, the group was consulted beforehand. Combining all these factors helped the group develop a sense of confidence in their abilities and camaraderie. When a team works together, the work is more efficient, and the team is more productive. Sharing the workload allows the unit to be more efficient and productive because it relieves each member of the pressure of completing a multistep task alone on time.
At SERVPRO of South Cabarrus County, we wholeheartedly believe teamwork makes the dream work. When one team member is down, we all feel it, and we all shift our efforts into completing a job correctly and helping each other. We make the job "Like it never even happened," using teamwork every time.

SERVPRO professionals are trained to help you.

Here, our lead technician uses a common practice to disinfect this location.

At this time, the Coronavirus Disease 2019 is well known. The CDC has partnered with premier cleaning companies to combat the spread and clean areas after contamination. SERVPRO is one of those companies, and we have a cleanup protocol for this major event. COVID-19 is a respiratory disease that spreads mainly through person-to-person contact or respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes. It is also possible for a person to contract COVID-19 by touching a surface or object and then touching themselves. 

SERVPRO professionals can perform proactive cleanup, but the customer must be aware that cleaning and disinfecting will only apply to the current state of the structure and contents. This means that the location and its contexts remain clean and disinfected unless an infected person enters and occupies that structure. It should also be made known that carpet and other porous material can not be disinfected, but they can be sanitized.

The CDC encourages cleaning surfaces that are frequently touched, such as keyboards, phones, toilets, switches, faucets, etc. The CDC also recommends the disinfecting process be completed by using hospital-grade disinfectants with claims against similar pathogens. SERVPRO uses SERVPROxide because it meets the CDC's standards. 

Please contact us if you have more questions about our disinfecting process and please stay safe, don't touch your face and wash your hands frequently.

We enjoy giving back to the community.

At SERVPRO of South Cabarrus County, we love being active in the community. Over the years, we have found many different ways to participate in assisting those in need throughout the city. During the holidays, we partner up with the local fire department and plan a special gift to give away to a family in need. We give what we can, such as a bike and some clothing. We've provided many toys and books to young children that need new sparks of imagination. We've helped those parents by giving them something they never knew they wanted or needed. We do not do this to get recognition. In reality, we do this because we are also working-class citizens that understand how hard the hustle and bustle of everyday life can be. We know some times an adult needs recognition for trying so hard every day, and their kids need a new reason to smile even if it is just from a toy. We just want our fellow community members to know they are not alone. That is why the community trusts SERVPRO. 

When the employees are cared for, it shows.

Happy employees make for good business. No one wants an unhappy technician in their house. People can tell when someone is disgruntled. It shows in the work they produce. People choose SERVPRO is because we provide excellent work at a nationally certified level with a great attitude.

Why Ethics matter

9/17/2019 (Permalink)

What is ethics?

Well, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 is a federal law that set new standards for all U.S. public company boards, management, and public accounting firms.

The bill was enacted as a reaction to several major corporate and accounting scandals. These scandals cost investors billions of dollars when share prices of affected companies collapsed and shook public confidence in the nation’s securities market.

Ethics is defined as

  • The principals of conduct governing an individual or a person the discipline dealing with what is good and evil or right and wrong or with moral duty and obligation

Ethical is defined as

  • Of or relating to ethics
  • Conforming to professionally endorsed principals and practices

We teach each other these about ethics because throughout time, not only do things change. As things change, we occasionally need to be reminded sometimes of how we should be behaving. As humans, we are not born being ethical or understanding what being ethical means. In these classes, we are taught that being ethical consists of having good judgment, being honest, loyal, compassionate, being trustworthy, having integrity, having accountability, and being respectful of others. These are important to know not only to function in society but also to function peacefully as an employee.
