How We Operate We take care to create and execute our service packages for each client’s unique needs. Below are some highlights of this process. Proposal Request and Creation • Manager requests estimate, and a conversation regarding needs, past problem areas, and client expectations is had. • We measure your property down to the square foot, and we create a proposal. • We submit a proposal to management/condo board for review. Proposal Review • Board reviews the proposal. • We set up an on-site meet and greet to answer any questions and we make adjustments as required. Proposal Approval • Scheduling is set up ahead of time for the season, available to clients. • A crew leader visits the property to familiarize themselves before the work begins, he identifies anything out of the ordinary, and reviews questions with Owner. • We establish a line of communication with the board. Once the work begins • We work according to our predetermined schedule, we adjust to change following your property’s needs and the will of Mother Nature. • We promptly communicate any issues or concerns that come up during the season and we provide possible solutions. • We provide recommendations to the board, and we schedule regular visits at the condo board's discretion.
