Seattle Plumbing Company Answers Plea for Help with $10,000 Sign-On Bonus

RENTON, Wash. /ScoopCloud/ -- It's no secret that both the COVID-19 pandemic and the volume of unemployment is still causing a disturbing amount of damage across Washington state, says Trusted Plumbing and Heating. With over 100,000 residents in King County still collecting unemployment, thousands of businesses are at risk of closing their doors - simply because they can't get people to work.

Trusted Plumbing and Heating, a family-owned plumbing business in Renton, is just one of many local businesses feeling the effects of Washington residents not going back to work. While business is booming and there's no lack of homeowners needing plumbing help, the struggle remains to simply get a team out to the job.

This local team of plumbers is working around the clock to keep up with the heightened demand for plumbing repairs in Seattle and the greater King County area. Jim Cunningham, owner, is offering an extremely generous and lofty bonus for the right candidate.

"Simply put, we just need a plumber. We are looking for a qualified journeyman to join our team. We can't keep up with demand, and we've been searching for months on end. By offering $10,000 we hope to entice the right candidate," says Cunningham. "Believe me when I say there are many who are shocked that I am going to this extent."

Across many states, Washington included, thousands of companies are spending their advertising dollars on billboard ads, TV commercials, and even advertising on local transportation stating the need for workers. With no end in sight, Trusted Plumbing and Heating is hoping that their efforts will make a difference.

Revolutionary Restroom Organizer Protects Purses and Phones at Stalls and Urinals

ST. LOUIS, Mo. /ScoopCloud/ -- Increased awareness of germs and bacteria has changed our behavior regarding contact and hygiene. These changes are notable regarding the use of commercial restrooms, which 60% of Americans visit at least once a week. One of the top complaints of shared restrooms is the risk of subjecting one's personal belongings to germs, damage, and theft. This means every day, millions of people are entering a vulnerable space without convenient protection for their phones, purses, and other personal belongings. StallStash, a restroom partition shelf, improves the safety and comfort of restroom visits by keeping belongings clean, close, and safe.

"Today, 42% of us are more concerned about using a public restroom than we were 18 months ago," says Robert Kodner, president of StallStash. "In addition to sanitary issues, we know that the average cost of a cell phone is $580, and a typical purse contains $720 worth of items."

Kodner continues, "For many of us, using a public restroom is a 'necessary evil.' By offering a solution that allows restroom visitors to keep their belongings safe and clean, we are able to improve the restroom experience for everyone. As an added benefit, 64% of us will frequent a business based on the fact it has clean restrooms."

StallStash units attach easily to all standard restroom partitions (without tools or hardware), and are made of 100% plexiglass. StallStash units are engineered to protect cell phones, purses, laptops, wallets, backpacks, and briefcases.

Fran Kaiser, a property manager at Century Management in California, says, "When one of our tenants asked us to find a way to help keep purses, phones, and files off the bathroom floor, we knew just the standard hooks would not do. I searched high and low and nothing would fit their needs until we found StallStash. I now use them in our restrooms. They have held up to the usage, and we could not be happier with the product."

StallStash is designed for all public and commercial restrooms. StallStash clients include medical facilities, restaurants, commercial buildings, shopping centers, event spaces, schools, fitness centers, stadiums, venues, transportation terminals, places of worship, and popular attractions.

Capital Industrial Shares the Benefits of Sealing Concrete Floors

MATTITUCK, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- Capital Industries, a leader in industrial concrete repair products, has released a tip sheet on how concrete floor coatings benefit commercial businesses.

Repore urethane concrete sealer is a one-step system made up of moisture-cured urethane. It is typically applied to the surface of concrete floors to create a moisture, chemical, and abrasion-resistant coating for your flooring. This product provides various benefits that make it one of the most beneficial things property owners can utilize on their floors.

The benefits of sealing concrete floors are plentiful and can help industrial businesses in the long run. Here are four reasons why it is beneficial to seal concrete floors in industrial buildings.

1. Sealing concrete floors in industrial buildings can protect them from harsh chemicals and cleaners.

Sealing concrete floors in industrial buildings can help to protect them from harsh chemicals and cleaners. Applying a sealant is very important because the lifespan of a non-sealed floor can shorten the lifespan by the chemical used.

Repore floor sealant is also popular for sealing warehouse floors, factory floors, and even commercial kitchen floors. It can be a much more cost-effective solution than digging up the floor and replacing it with something else. A recent study has shown that the average cost of replacing a floor is around $10,000, whereas sealing the floor is much less. Companies should consider these benefits before deciding whether to seal the floors.

2. Help the floor last longer to increase its lifespan.

Sealing a concrete floor improves durability by protecting it from cracks and stains. The most common type of sealer used is called a urethane sealer. These sealers offer moderate protection against staining and wear.

3. Improve the safety of working conditions for employees in the industrial building.

Concrete is a building material that, if left unsealed, can cause major slip hazards for workers. The spills created are also a safety hazard because they create a slip hazard as well. However, sealing the concrete floor will reduce the risks for workers.

Seal concrete floors at any point after pouring them. It helps keep the concrete from becoming slippery and spilling onto the floor, creating more hazards for employees.

4. Reduce the costs associated with repairs and maintenance.

Concrete floors can easily get damaged when they are not maintained properly. The cracks and chips in the surface will make the floor uneven, increasing the risk of falls.

Commercial concrete floor sealer can help to reduce costs by increasing its lifespan, making it more durable and easier to clean.

It also helps to avoid any damage caused by spills and other incidents. Concrete sealing also helps to save energy, as you will not need powerful cleaning equipment or boiling water that may cause damage to your floor.

* The sealer protects against stains and scratches by filling in imperfections on the surface

* The sealer makes it easier to clean up because dirt particles do not get embedded in the surface

* It can also act as an additional protective layer

Capital Industries is the best place to find industrial concrete floor sealers. We have a one-step floor sealer to suit any size of business at an affordable price. Our floor sealer is a single component moisture-cured urethane, clear coating and cure time, provides a convenient solution to the need for high-performance floor coating.

Contact our team today at (631) 298-6300 to learn more about purchasing high-quality, affordable industrial concrete floor sealers for your business. If interested in a long-lasting product that is resistant to wear and tear, contact us to learn more about sealing concrete floors.

Site Preparations, LLC Named to Inc. 5000 List of Fastest-Growing Privately Held US Companies

GAP, Pa. /ScoopCloud/ -- Site Preparations, LLC, a garage and shed foundation installation company headquartered in Gap, PA, has been named to Inc. Magazine's 2021 Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing privately-owned companies in the United States. The company was ranked #3119 on the list with a three-year revenue growth rate of 121% for the period from 2017-2020. The company is listed on the Inc. 5000 list under its shortened brand name, Site Prep.

Since its founding in 2014, Site Prep has experienced strong year-over-year growth. While the company offers a variety of services, they primarily specialize in site preparation for outdoor structures like sheds and garages. Site Prep's top-selling product, a shed base made of crushed stone, has increased in popularity as shed buyers have become educated on the importance of a solid foundation for the longevity of prefab buildings.

While the COVID-19 pandemic presented new challenges, CEO John Dienner says the company was blessed with strong demand for its services. "The pandemic caused homeowners to do work at home which lead lots of people to buy backyard sheds to free up garage space." The company found that increased demand for prefab sheds drove a corresponding demand for shed foundations.

According to Dienner, the company's success is the direct result of a people-first mentality. "Hiring the right people for each position in our company has been the key to our recent growth," he said.

Online marketing has been another key component of the Site Prep's growth strategy. The company spent several years creating an online archive of resources about shed and garage foundations. These resources include how-to articles, DIY foundation guides, explainer videos, and more. The company has found that the free information generates a significant amount of positive feedback, both from customers and from do-it-yourselfers working on their own projects.

Looking forward, Dienner hopes to expand into larger-scale site preparation services. "Our next big goal is to develop a commercial excavation division."

About Site Preparations, LLC

Site Preparations, LLC is a site preparation company specialing in shed foundations, garage foundations, and small building demolition.

ACE Home Services Honors Our Warriors by Providing a New A/C to Military Veteran this August 24, 2021

PHOENIX, Ariz. /ScoopCloud/ -- ACE Home Services is a top HVAC and Plumbing company servicing the Phoenix Metro area. For years since it was founded, they have provided homes with quality AC and Heating facility maintenance, equipment installation, and repair, ensuring smooth operation in homes. This veteran owned and operated company is proud to support and hire military members for over 25 years.

ACE Home Services has been taking hundreds of nominations from the Phoenix Metro community to select another military member. This year, we are proud to announce the winner as Captain Alfred "Benny" Ashley, who was born on August 24, 1917! We are approaching his 104th birthday! ACE Home Services will be providing and installing a brand new ac unit for Captain Ashley on August 24, 2021.

Benny served the Phoenix Fire Department from 1942 through the end of 1973. Benny is a military combat veteran and twice left the firehouse to serve as a U.S. Navy Corpsman during the WWII and Korean wars. He served as a medic at Tarawa in the Gilbert Islands in the South Pacific. After returning to his firefighting career Benny led the Phoenix firefighters union as the President of IAFF Local 493 in the 1960's. In 1968 his idea for a statewide, combined, firefighters and police officers pension system was signed into law by AZ Governor Jack Williams to create the Public Safety Personnel Retirement System (PSPRS).

Benny continues to serve as a mentor to the current generation of PFD firefighters and is a frequent (and the most popular) attendee at many Fire Dept. functions. Benny was the Captain of Engine Co.11-A at the firehouse on the southeast corner of 24th Str. and Roosevelt Str. where he served for many years until his retirement.

This is the second year of the annual AC giveaway. Veterans, active duty and reserve military members were all eligible to be nominated. In the end, the selected 2020 winner was Master Sergeant Keith Tucker, a veteran who honorably served our country for 24 years in the Air Force and was stationed at Luke Air Force Base. This opportunity came at the perfect time for Mr. Tucker, as he and his wife Diana were moving into their new home that had an existing unit that was over 15 years old.

The Owner and CEO, Kwan Jin, is a veteran of the United States Marine Corps. In addition to actively hiring veterans of all military branches, ACE Home Services also gives additional discounts to all military members and first responders. The Director of Marketing, James Sesay, is also a veteran of the United States Marine Corps. Regarding the overall goal of the campaign, James says "Too often many of us take the sacrifices that led to our independence and current freedoms for granted. As a company, we want to go above and beyond the normal discounts and appreciations. This year, we want to truly give back to those that serve our country."

About ACE Home Services

With an A+ rating from the BBB, ACE Home Services provides support for businesses and homes in more than 28 cities.

Partnership with Energy Optimizers, USA, Delivers Facilities Improvements to Marietta High School

DAYTON, Ohio /ScoopCloud/ -- Marietta City School District is investing in improving the High School café, kitchen, and concession stand with Energy Optimizers, USA. As a member of the META Solutions Educational Purchasing Co-op, the District will be able to tap into the LED Lighting and Energy Savings Program through the Ohio Council of Educational Purchasing Consortia. This program enables the district to make these improvements at no additional expense to taxpayers while ensuring the best possible pricing.

The School District is installing LED lighting retrofits in the High School café, server, kitchen, and kitchen offices. Other improvements include new kitchen appliances, electrical upgrades, replacement of ceiling tiles in the café, pine paneling in the serving area, and new counter tops in the bar area. The floors will be waxed and conditioned. The concession stand will be expanded.

The benefits will be immediate, with reduced energy bills and maintenance costs from the LED lighting retrofits. Annual energy savings are anticipated at $2,377. Kitchen staff will have a much more efficient, safe workspace, and students will benefit from the improved facility.

LED lighting retrofits offer up to 75 percent savings over the district's former lighting systems, offering an almost immediate reduction in utility costs. They will also last 3 to 4 times longer, which will further reduce long-term operations and maintenance costs.

"At Marietta City School District, we aim to be high achieving in all aspects of our operations, from academic performance to financial management," said Will Hampton, Superintendent. "This investment in our High School building will pay dividends to our bottom line while supporting our mission of empowering our students to excel academically and personally."

"We take great pride in our ability to provide schools with cost-effective solutions that make measurably better improvements to their facilities," said Rusty Bookman with Energy Optimizers, USA. "Marietta City School District will be able to channel the savings it gains right back into its classrooms or into other needed capital improvements. That's a victory for the school, its students and the community."

About Energy Optimizers, USA

Partnership with Energy Optimizers, USA, Delivers Indoor Air Quality Solutions and $51,000 in Annual Savings to National Trail Local School District

DAYTON, Ohio /ScoopCloud/ -- National Trail Local School District is investing in indoor air quality solutions and energy efficiency through a facilities improvement project with Energy Optimizers, USA. The District did not ask for more taxpayer dollars but is using federal funds coming through the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Funds (ESSER).

National Trail is taking proactive steps to ensure that school facilities are as safe as possible by installing bi-polar ionization devices in HVAC units throughout the entire campus. These units send charged ions into the environment that break down viruses and other contaminants into smaller, harmless particles, which then drop out of the air.

In addition to these very important upgrades, the District is also implementing other improvements, including LED lighting retrofits, adding air conditioning to the upper part of the High School, removing asbestos, installing new duct work and chilled water piping, and replacing boilers, chillers, and air handler units. Building automation controls will improve comfort levels and ensure energy efficiency. The benefits will be immediate, with reduced energy bills and an improved learning environment.

With a project cost of $1.5 million, the District anticipates a reduction in utility and maintenance costs of about $51,000 annually. By using the Ohio Council of Educational Purchasing Consortia's (OCEPC) competitively-bid LED Lighting and Energy Savings program, the District did not have to go through a lengthy and expensive bidding process for the project.

The LED lighting retrofits offer up to 75 percent savings over the district's former lighting systems, offering an almost immediate reduction in utility costs. They will also last 3 to 4 times longer, which will further reduce long-term operations and maintenance costs.

Beyond the financial savings, LED lighting is a superior option for educational settings. The quality of LED lighting is very close to natural daylight, making it easier on the eyes. Further, it offers improved light distribution and lighting levels. LEDs are also free of the hum and flicker associated with fluorescent lighting, making it an ideal system for special needs classrooms. All these benefits are associated with improved behavior and health, in addition to increased motivation and higher test scores.

"At National Trail, we aim to be high achieving in all aspects of our operations, from academic performance to financial management," said Bob Fischer, Superintendent. "This investment in our building will pay dividends to our bottom line while directly supporting our strategies to keep staff and students safe and improve student outcomes and our overall school climate."

"We take great pride in our ability to provide schools with cost-effective solutions that make measurably better improvements to their facilities and, by extension, their overall performance," said Dave Eshbaugh, General Manager with Energy Optimizers, USA. "National Trail Local School District will be able to channel the savings it gains right back into its classrooms or into other needed capital improvements. That's a victory for the school, its students and the community."

Local Business Owner Jade Kettner Named to NSBA Leadership Council

FORT COLLINS, Colo. /ScoopCloud/ -- Jade Kettner, Hawkeye NDT Services, Fort Collins, Colorado was recently named to the National Small Business Association (NSBA) Leadership Council. NSBA is the nation's oldest small-business advocacy organization and operates on a staunchly nonpartisan basis. Kettner, a recognized leader in the small-business community, joins the NSBA Leadership Council alongside other small-business advocates from across the country as they work to promote the interests of small business to policymakers in Washington, D.C.

"As a small-business owner, I see daily the importance of being involved and active when it comes to laws and regulation," stated Kettner. "Joining NSBA's Leadership Council will enable me to take our collective small-business message to the people that need to hear it most: Congress."

Jade Kettner began service to her country volunteering as a teen, 1987-88, at the Philippine Refugee Processing Center / PRPC-USDOD (Morong, Bataan, PI). That difficult red zone experience, a USDOD -United Nations joint project, primed her for the importance of advocating to Congress. Kettner believes to effect change; we must engage Congress directly. Kettner is passionate about Active-Duty Military/Veterans and their families. Jade has an insight into the military family experience. More importantly being a small business owner, with her Veteran (20 years retired US Army) husband, Jade brings a uniquely accurate and clear voice to the challenges and needs of the small American Woman & Veteran owned business.

Kettner joined the NSBA Leadership Council as part of her efforts to tackle the many critical issues facing small business, including tax reform, regulatory restraint, health care costs and how the Affordable Care Act will impact small business. The NSBA Leadership Council is focused on providing valuable networking between small-business advocates from across the country while ensuring small business a seat at the table as Congress and regulators take up key small-business proposals.

"I am proud to have Jade Kettner as part of our Leadership Council," stated NSBA President and CEO Todd McCracken. "She came to us highly recommended, and I look forward to our coordinated efforts for years to come."

DAYTON, Ohio, /ScoopCloud/ -- St. Mary Catholic School is making an investment of $86,704 in a facilities improvement project with Energy Optimizers, USA.

Community Recycling Powered by the Sun

DORCHESTER, Mass. /ScoopCloud/ -- The Reuse Center of Boston Building Resources, a charitable non-profit dedicated to keeping reusable materials out of landfills and accessible to homeowners, will use the energy from their new SunBug Solar photovoltaic system to power their efforts. The move to solar power aligns perfectly with the ethos of the organization, and allows this unique Boston institution, founded over 40 years ago, to increase its long-term financial stability by reducing operating costs.

"Environmentalism is part of our organizational DNA at Boston Building Resources," said Mattew St. Onge, the president and executive director of Boston Building Resources. "When we were planning the renovation of the Reuse Center, the great solar potential on our rooftop made the decision to go solar an easy one."

"Having the opportunity to execute this array on the roof of the BBR is a real pleasure for SunBug," noted Ben Mayer, SunBug's VP of marketing. "SunBug's and Boston Building Resources' values are very much aligned. And personally, when I renovated my own home 15 years ago, I found excellent inexpensive doors and windows at the Reuse Center. If you live in Greater Boston and have worked on your home, you know what an important resource BBR is, especially for folks of moderate income."

The 114 panel array is substantial. An annual projected output of 45.6 kWh will be enough energy to provide 100% of the power needed to keep the center running. Other facility improvements include an air conditioning system, which will be a welcomed relief to the warehouse style building in Boston's increasingly blistering summers. An electric vehicle charging station is now open to the public to pay-as-you-charge.

The all-electric HVAC system is powered by the rooftop solar array, so the renovation has made the Reuse Center at BBR the first net zero carbon building in Mission Hill.

About Boston Building Resources:Boston Building Resources inspires, educates, and empowers homeowners to increase the efficiency and value of their homes. As a local social enterprise, we focus on affordable solutions that help all of our neighbors create stronger communities while benefiting the environment.

About SunBug Solar:

SunBug Solar is a solar energy consulting and installation company based in Arlington and Westfield, MA.

Tri-State Electrical Refocuses on Providing Commercial and Industrial Electrical Services

CHATANOOGA, Tenn. /ScoopCloud/ -- Tri-State Electrical Contractors announces that they are re-committing to a focus on their core electrical services such as commercial and industrial electrical projects, and scaling back on solar technology projects. The discontinuation of the Green Power Providers program from the Tennessee Valley Authority for funding private solar installation programs is also a contributing factor in Tri-State Electrical's decision.

"There is a lot of demand right now for industrial and especially commercial electrical projects, " said Tri-State Electrical Contractor spokeswoman Candice Neal. "A lot of businesses have waited until the COVID-19 pandemic has receded before initiating new electrical projects."

Now that business seems to be on the rebound, many companies see a need to upgrade or retrofit their current electrical systems, or even design new electrical systems to expand existing business.

There has been a tremendous demand for the following services:

* Upgrading Signage and Lighting - Clear, colorful signs and bright, energy-saving LED lights to make it easier for customers to find your business and the goods and services within it.

* Electrical Load Analysis - Reduced operating hours and a need to cut costs have led many businesses to look at ways to save money. Conserving energy by taking action on the results of an electrical load analysis results in significant cost savings.

* Generator Installation Because of severe winter storms and record-breaking heat waves that have slammed into the Southeastern US this year, the electrical grid has been under considerable stress. Many businesses cannot afford to be without power, so many of them are investing in commercial and industrial generators.

"This pent-up demand for commercial and industrial electrical work made us step back and take a closer look at what our customers wanted, and as it turned out, this was fewer solar technology installations and more commercial and industrial electrical work right now," said Neal.

About Tri-State Electrical Contractors

Tri-State Electrical Contractors is the premier commercial and industrial electrical contracting company licensed to work in the states of Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and (soon) Florida.

Tri-State Electrical understands the need for a company providing high-quality electrical services "outside the box" to meet today's complex industrial and commercial environments. Tri-State Electrical's team of expert electricians, engineers, and project managers have the resourcefulness, professionalism, and in-the-trenches electrical industry experience necessary to meet today's challenges. https://tristateec.com/

Assessing Lightning’s Potential for Catastrophic Risk is Key for Building Lightning Safe Communities

FORT PIERCE, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- Those familiar with New York's "Darkest Hours" likely remember the mayhem of the city's July 13, 1977 blackout. But few may be able to recall it was lightning (three sequential strikes), which caused the catastrophic event that shut down one of the world's largest cities in a matter of minutes, says DEHN, Inc.

"A single lightning event can have enormous consequences in terms of safety, damaged equipment, loss of vital data and operational breakdowns," said Mark Hendricks, vice president and technical director at DEHN, Inc. "Unfortunately, too many industries, businesses and property owners find out the hard way that lightning protection is an essential measure for safety and building resilience."

According to the National Lightning Safety Council, a typical lightning strike is about 300 million volts and can heat the air to 50,000 degrees Fahrenheit-five times hotter than the surface of the sun. Compared to a household electrical current of 120 volts and 115 amps, lightning's extreme electricity packs a massive punch, which can have devastating results to unprotected structures.

As the global market leader for lightning protection, grounding and surge solutions, DEHN, Inc. is supporting International Lightning Safety Day (ILSD21) and its Building Lightning Safe Communities initiative by providing solutions to protect lives, property and material assets from a leading weather threat. The company's track record in total lightning protection solutions includes a dedicated research and development department, more than 4,000 tested LPS products and a worldwide network of 1,900 employees in over 70 countries-including the U.S.

"Effective protection against lightning-internal and external, direct and indirect surges can be provided by safety standard compliant lightning protection systems," explained Hendricks.

Both international lightning protection system guidelines of IEC 62305 and U.S. safety standards of NFPA 780 require grounding, bonding and surge protection to address total solution protection. Unfortunately, building codes set minimum standards which may not take lightning into account, which is why DEHN provides a comprehensive Lightning Risk Assessment as a mitigation tool for calculating a structure's potential for exposure.

ABOUT DEHN, INC.

DEHN is a globally active family-owned electrotechnical market leader providing innovative products, solutions and comprehensive services in lightning protection, surge protection, and safety equipment since 1910. The company's DEHN, Inc. expansion in North America as a Lightning Protection Institute (LPI) Class I Manufacturer and board member company is helping to advance the art and science of proven and effective lightning protection in the U.S.

Current Builders’ Uptown Boca Project Offers Key Lessons for Construction Industry

POMANO BEACH, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- Current Builders completed its largest construction project commission on-time, during the pandemic thanks to the firm's excellent communication strategies, tech savvy, and smart contingency planning. Uptown Boca is the most ambitious development constructed in western Boca Raton in the last 20 years.

The 38-acre site features a mixed-use program of approximately 156,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space along with 456 luxury rental units and two parking garages. The project is transformational for Palm Beach County and the pressure to meet the deadlines, despite the global issues, created a tremendous opportunity for the general contractor to test and enhance their skill set.

"Building a project of this magnitude during the pandemic provided some very valuable lessons for our team, ones we will be mindful of on all projects moving forward," said Brett Schreiber, Current Builders' Senior Project Superintendent and Partner, who managed both the retail and residential construction for Uptown Boca.

For Schreiber, enhanced communication was the key element for making this a successful project.

"There were a lot of curveballs thrown at us during this build," he explained, "The pandemic forced changes to the tenant mix and therefore to the structure. Often times, design and construction were happening simultaneously, with no room for error."

To keep track of all these major updates, the team relied on the technical prowess of Procore's construction management software to enhance efficiency. But also, elevated the art of transparent conversation and relationship building, even when it had to be done via Zoom.

"I cannot underestimate the importance of having excellent communication channels with the client/developer," he said. "No one wants to be blindsided, so when issues arose, we made sure the client understood the obstacles and was fully apprised of the plan to get the project back on track."

Often times, longer hours, nights and weekends were required to make that happen. For Schreiber, the relationships with the subcontractors were another critical factor.

"The subs can make or break your project," he continued. "And while we always treat our teams with respect and dignity, the pandemic heightened our awareness of using added motivation only when truly necessary. While the project managers always feel constant pressure, it is important to reserve the push for essential crunch times."

Dialogue with the inspectors was also a paramount reason for this massive project's success.

"Establishing a trusting relationship with the inspectors helped us complete this project on time," he explained. "We worked very closely with the inspectors, addressing issues immediately and keeping them in the loop at all times as to our progress. We also reached out to them to learn what to expect and what was going to be required to pass. Thanks to this strong level of confidence in our execution and follow through, the county was incredibly helpful in having us meet all the major inspection hurdles."

The pandemic also forced Current Builders to set up contingency plans in case the county's inspection department shut down, establish extensive COVID-19 safety protocols and make adjustments in staging and logistics due to the slow down of the supply chain.

"The entire Current Builders team is very proud of Uptown Boca," continued Schreiber. "Taking on the firm's biggest project, one that was in the media's spotlight, during the height of COVID-19, was a test of our abilities and management. Seeing the recognition and popularity this development is achieving now is very rewarding."

Current Builders is an award-winning general contractor, celebrating five decades of construction success with average annual revenues of $250 Million. Current Builders specializes in multi-family residential projects, office/warehouse buildings, commercial distribution facilities, parking garages, interior build-outs, interior and exterior renovations, all included as turnkey projects inclusive of the construction of the buildings and related site work.

The Uptown Boca project is Current Builders third commission with the development team including Rosemurgy Properties and Giles Capital Group in partnership with Wheellock Street Capital. The retail development component was led by the seasoned retail/commercial team at Schmier Property Group.

Capitol Fence Shares 5 Tips for Selecting Automatic Gates

AUSTIN, Texas /ScoopCloud/ -- Capitol Fence in Austin, Texas recognizes a rising trend of the installation of automated driveway gates for residences in the local area. Two significant factors compel residents to choose a high-quality automatic gate for their home. Firstly, the security advantage and, secondly, automated gates increase the home value. Besides installing an automated gate, the real question is how to find the perfect one?

The expert staff at Capitol Fence, a leading automatic gate company in Austin, provides brand name automatic gates, installation, and repair services. We are well equipped and experienced in dealing with all kinds of automated gates. Shop for the best and most suitable automated driveway gates available in Austin.

The expert staff at Capitol Fence put together practical tips that will help customers with finding the perfect style of automated driveway gate for Austin residences:

1. Identify the right kind of automated gate

The fundamental step is to choose the style of automated driveway gate. Some of the types generally found on the market are:

* Sliding gates

* Cantilever gates

* Telescopic gates

* Single swing gates

* Double Swing Gates

The characteristics of each type may vary. However, the installation depends on the dimensions and landscape of a house. This is where Capitol Fence can help with a free quote and help with which automated gate to choose.

2. Options for gate openers and features

The most popular driveway gates in Austin, the swing or sliding type, are accessible through a password or fingerprint system. Some advanced technologies include face and retinal scans. An automated gate must be installed by trained technicians. The trained staff at Capitol Fence are UL 325 certified.

Here are some elements that make an automated gate the right choice:

* Convenient and secure keypad

* High-quality intercom

* Impeccable remote-control system

* A security alarm system

* Reversing sensors to avoid accidents

In case of any installation and quality queries, the support staff at Capital Fence are the right people to contact.

3. Get a quote for space and angle for an automated gate

When you are going for a swing gate, many factors need consideration. Before selecting the size and style of the automated gate, assess the area and design of the front entrance. A sliding automated gate needs space between gates to function. However, a gate with a swing arm design requires a different set up and mechanism to work.

Another element to consider is the angle at which the door must open. Capitol Fence checks to make sure there is ample space for the door to open at the gate's angle design. While installing an automated gate, the professional team from Capitol Fence ensures that the driveway will accommodate the automated gate.

4. Choose the right material

Weather conditions and lifestyle trends are both essential factors in the selection of an automated driveway gate. Also, the security requirements may vary in different places, and the material choice alters accordingly. Generally, driveway gates are made of steel, wrought iron, wood, aluminum, and glass. A combination of two or more materials can also be a great choice aesthetically.

Capitol Fence has been in the picture for decades and specializes in delivering and installing a wide variety of fences and gates.

Current Builders Celebrates Construction Safety Week with Focus on Holistic Health for Workers

POMPANO BEACH, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- Current Builders (www.currentbuilders.com) is proud to be part of the nationwide celebration of Construction Safety Week taking place May 3-7, 2021. This year's theme, Be Present, Be Focused, Be Safe targets the holistic health of workers in the industry. As one of the leading construction firms in Florida, Current Builders has a week of educational programming scheduled for its employees and will also be hosting students from the University of Miami chapter of the South Florida Associated General Contractors of America (AGC) for a tour of one of Current Builders' newest projects, Platform 3750 in Coconut Grove.

"This year's theme is an essential one," stated Current Builders' CEO and President, Michael C. Taylor. "After enduring all the stresses of 2020, it is critical that our industry focuses on the holistic health of our workers. At Current Builders, our safety training goes beyond the use of proper protective gear and explores total well-being, by discussing topics including mental health, depression, dependency, and tiredness. This focus on mental awareness, in addition to the physical protection protocols, will help our workers develop a deeper understanding of what it means to be truly safe."

Deborah Hampton Current Builders' Risk and Safety Director has created a series of daily toolbox talks addressing a variety of topics to open a dialogue among workers on how they can better take care of themselves and each other. In addition, Hampton offers fun competitions for workers that provide prizes to those who can spot the hazards on the daily safety boards. Also included in this year's Safety Week will be demonstrations by Milwaukee Tools and the student tour for UM AGC members to view real-world working conditions at Platform 3750, a mixed-use project in Coconut Grove on Friday, May 7.

"It is critical for all workers, both seasoned and novices, to fully understand the role mental awareness plays in keeping the team safe. Distractions can rob a worker of their focus, which can cause serious and even deadly accidents," said Hampton. "It is essential that workers look out for each other and learn to recognize the signs of someone who may be struggling. Safety Week is a reminder to all our workers that there are resources available to help them be present and focused."

Hampton has developed numerous safety protocols, both physical and mental for the team, and one of the favorite exercises of employees is the morning Stretch and Flex program. This activity wakes everyone one up and get them focused on the coming tasks.

"Nothing is more important than our team's safety," continued Taylor. "At Current Builders, we are very proud of the programs our company has implemented and how diligent our workers are with their follow-through. This national celebration is a wonderful opportunity for us to reinforce the lessons learned and recommit to keeping safety, both physical and mental, our number one priority."

Every theater must meet the safety requirements, per de Blasio's office, which will be inspecting them all prior to reopening. "Broadway needs to come back, and we will move heaven and Earth to bring Broadway back," he said. The dates and the percentage of audience attendance will be announced officially by The Broadway League shortly once more decisions are made by de Blasio in the upcoming months.

Broadway Barter also recognizes the affects COVID-19 has had across many industries; especially health care workers and youth in the arts. Broadway Barter is pledging 5% of all sales to give back to local health care workers and underserved children in the arts by providing them tickets to Broadway shows. Everyone should be able to enjoy the joys of Broadway and they are proud to be able to serve the community by providing that opportunity.

If you'd like to schedule a complimentary site inspection with your proposal, contact Broadway Barter and cover 1/2 the cost by bartering empty seats. Broadway Barter is also promoting participating shows on major radio, TV news, and in its new, upcoming Broadway section in Hemispheres Magazine on all

United Airlines flights. Over 4 million travelers will have the chance to see what's coming on Broadway. June, July, August, and September sponsorships are available for both TV spots and Hemispheres placement, with only one show featured each month on the news.

Please go to the Broadway Barter website to learn more about what they can do for your re-opening and to view the safety and media kit. If you wish to participate or get more information, call today at +1-844-922-3959.

About Broadway Barter:

Formed in 1996, Broadway Barter has developed a successful formula of filling unsold theater seats for increased revenue to the producers and at the same time generating media exposure. A theater seat has no value once a show's over. 80-90% of an average show is sold. Broadway Barter turns that remaining 10-20% of unused seats into valuable advertising exposure.

Broadway Barter's program is based on combining a Trade/Cash blend that delivers your target audience. Its unique and creative formula has made it one of the most competitive media sources in the market today.

Primary Business:

* Media Promotion and Media Placement for Broadway Shows

* Off-Broadway Shows

* Lincoln Center Productions

* Out-of-Town Performances (Shows on the Road)

When Walt Disney wanted to promote their musical, "Beauty & the Beast," they turned to barter as a means to offset a good deal of advertising expenses. They used a blend of show tickets and cash to achieve their goal. Previously unsold tickets, which were worthless if not filled, were used to generate print ads in inflight magazines, thus optimizing revenue and performance attendance.

Green Janitorial Innovations Spur New Tech Company Focused on Occupant Health

DES MOINES, Iowa /ScoopCloud/ -- With over eight years in providing green, sustainable, microbial protection to businesses, schools, and medical facilities throughout the Midwest, The Heritage Group of Des Moines, IA launched a new tech company, SPMC, LLC in the summer of 2020 to be led by SPMC President John Bergman and SPMC Technical Director Joe Johnson.

More than vacuuming, cleaning, and dusting, Heritage Building Maintenance, the custodial and building management arm of The Heritage Group, set themselves apart with their commitment to the integration of WELL building best practices and use of science-based research and technology. Science-Proven Microbial Control® was born out of their objective of cleaning for health. This not only helped customers maintain the wellness of their buildings but also helped protect those who occupy them.

"Disinfecting has always been a thorn in the side of a sustainable green cleaning program," said Johnson. "Over the last eight years we've worked hard to develop Science-Proven Microbial Control® into a real, solutions-based program."

In the spring of 2020, when businesses across the nation were suddenly challenged with crisis-level health and operational obstacles, Heritage's years of experience in microbial control and innovation turned itself into a real-world tested, science-based process that facilitated the founding of SPMC, LLC - the tech company supported by their trademarked program.

From the initial announcements of pandemic spread and the challenges that faced building management, the SPMC, LLC team saw increased interest from Building Services and Commercial Real Estate Management Companies fostering continuous growth and licensing opportunities throughout the year.

While the timing for a start-up could have been challenging for some, SPMC has continued to grow their family of licensees - all while supporting their current customer list including Paramount Building Solutions in the Minneapolis/St. Paul market, Specialty Maintenance Service out of Omaha, as well as Heritage Building Maintenance in Des Moines. SPMC also continues to educate their business clients and associates on the benefits of Science-Proven Microbial Control®, WELL building best practices, and the use of science and data that supplement traditional cleaning and building maintenance services.

"This takes janitorial services beyond 'straightening up'," says Greg Theroux, Founder and CEO of Heritage Building Maintenance and SPMC, LLC. "While we're in the cleaning business, really, our job is to make our customers' workspaces healthier."

As the Heritage Building Maintenance team continues to provide healthy solutions in custodial and building maintenance services, they and others will become licensees through SPMC, LLC to provide a technologically advanced program that includes a multi-step process, and a scientifically-tested, EPA registered, antimicrobial surface protectant. These treatments are applied through their Test - Treat - Track™ process, creating a superior, data-based cleaning and protection protocol.

John Bergman, who comes from decades of commercial and corporate real estate management, joined the leadership team at SPMC, LLC in January of this year. Together with Technical Director, Joe Johnson, SPMC will continue to innovate and grow its offerings.

"This is so far beyond cleaning, we can't consider ourselves anything less than a tech company," said Bergman. "The data used to support our licensees is groundbreaking."

Bergman went on to explain that through their Science-Proven Microbial Control® program, licensees use testing to set a baseline of cleanliness - at a microbial level - within a building. This establishes a scientifically trackable, data-based health and wellness microbial control protocol for each and every space they serve, providing long lasting protection beyond cleaning and focusing on occupant health and safety.

"Considering our current health-conscious corporate culture," said Bergman. "The availability of this technology sets a new standard for health in the built environment. By providing long-lasting microbial control we re-set the need for hyper disinfecting. This not only provides health and wellness to buildings and occupants, but focuses on sustainability and green best practices."

SPMC, LLC is located in Des Moines, Iowa and currently serves a growing list of licensees and partner companies throughout the Midwest.

If you have questions or would like more information on their Science-Proven Microbial Control® program or licensee opportunities from SPMC, LLC, you can contact John Bergman, SPMC, LLC President at john@spmcglobal.com or go to their Web site at https://spmcglobal.com/.

NANUET, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- Tristate UV Sanitizing, a disinfection-as-a-service (DaaS) company, is offering free demos for a limited time of its hospital-grade Ultraviolet disinfection to tri-state area businesses. Tristate UV's goal is to help restore customer confidence and local business profits by offering a new standard of medical-grade hygiene that enhances health and safety. Tristate offers disinfection-as-a service at affordable rates and uses UVC light-sensitive markers that scientifically validate to customers that the Tristate disinfected areas of their business are COVID-free.

Tristate is a Dimer authorized dealer that sells the UVHammer mobile cart to corporations, professional cleaning services, and facility management companies.

Tristate UV Sanitizing differentiates its service from traditional chemical cleaning services with the use of the Dimer UVHammer, a revolutionary mobile UV solution that emits potent germicidal light that is lab certified to disinfect pathogens, germs, and the COVID-19 family viruses, including the more virulent UK COVID-19 mutation.

The UV Hammer simultaneously disinfects both airborne pathogens and contaminated high-touch surfaces. The machine utilizes the same patented technology as Dimer's award-winning GermFalcon solution - the germ-killing UV device for aircraft cabins that has since been brought to market globally by Honeywell and recognized as one of TIME's Best Inventions of 2020.

Tristate UV Sanitizing can disinfect a 1,500 sqft business in less than 7 minutes, and a 3,000 sqft space in less than 15 minutes. The company doesn't use any wet chemicals that emit harmful toxic fumes and residues, or chemical fogging that requires the closing of your business. Tristate UV's targeted process rapidly sanitizes any space without requiring businesses to close - ensuring the highest degree of health and safety for customers and staff, while maximizing the business's profit potential.

"We are thrilled to offer this state-of-the-art sanitation service that enhances customer and business health across the tri-state area. We're committed to restoring consumer confidence and business profits by delivering hospital-grade disinfection services that are proven to kill germs and viruses, including COVID-19 family of viruses and the more deadly UK COVID mutation," says Justin Candullo, President of Tristate UV Sanitizing.

"Our products play a key role in bringing business back," Dimer's co-founder Elliot Kreitenberg continued, "We mostly work with large organizations, but Tristate UV makes Dimer's technology accessible and affordable for small businesses that need it now."

Capital Industries Offers Solution for Cracks in Concrete Flooring

MATTITUCK, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- Capital Industries, a leading supplier of industrial concrete repair products, is proud to offer a solution for concrete cracks in industrial flooring. Concrete is a durable material, making it ideal for industrial flooring, particularly in warehouses, factories, distribution centers, and beyond, where floors tend to experience a significant amount of wear and tear. Over time, this wear and tear can lead to holes and cracks in the concrete. Capital Industries highlights the benefits of their KwikBond cement crack filler. This product helps businesses maintain and repair their industrial cement flooring, providing an effective, sustainable solution to a common problem.

What Is KwikBond?

KwikBond is a 100% resin polyester compound used to fix concrete cracks. Capital Industries created KwikBond to understand that concrete flooring is used in buildings that house various industries and that different industries are bound by different health and safety codes. For this reason, KwikBond is USDA-approved for federally inspected meat and poultry plants and is safe for use in virtually any other industry's building.

1. There Are Several Causes of Cracks in Concrete

Cracks in concrete are often caused by voids in the soil underneath the concrete. They are also usually caused by temperature fluctuations, such as when heat causes the concrete to expand to the point of cracking. Freezing temperatures cause concrete to become rigid that impacts its strength. As the water in the concrete evaporates, cracks also form. Poorly done concrete jobs have a higher likelihood of resulting in cracks.

2. It Is Essential to Fix Cracks in Concrete Flooring

Even if a crack in concrete flooring doesn't seem too large, under the surface, the concrete's integrity reduces, and other benefits like its water resistance and durability are compromised. If left untouched and not fixed, even minor cracks have the potential to escalate into a larger, much more expensive, and time-consuming problem in the future. Once a concrete crack is repaired, the concrete's strength will improve, excess liquids won't be able to leach into the concrete, durability improves, prevent corrosion, and the floor looks better safer to walk on.

The advantages are clear, particularly when compared to the risk of not doing any repairs.

KwikBond Offers a Fast, Affordable Solution to Cracks in Industrial Concrete

KwikBond provides a secure, quick set to any concrete finish at any temperature. This USDA-approved cement crack filler is a 100 percent solid polyester resin-based product that is pre-mixed. KwikBond is resilient to corrosion and moisture, and it will not shrink, allowing for a long-lasting concrete repair.

"We are proud to put all the tools to make the most of concrete industrial flooring in our customers' hands," said Len Garrett, GM of Capital Industries. "We are experts in repairing concrete flooring, and we encourage you to reach out to us at any time for all your concrete flooring needs and with any questions."
