“We met Phil with AffordaPro at a Virginia Apartment Managers Association event and after speaking with him we decided that we would try out his services. He appeared passionate about his company and his desire to do a good job resonated with me. They worked efficiently and effectively. Many of our residents even made the effort to contact the office to compliment them on a job well done. We definitely plan on using them again and would highly recommend for all power washing needs.” Jamie Hall, CAM Property Manager

FIRE SAFETY PROPERTY INSPECTIONS

“I THOUGHT IT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN AND THEN IT DID” David Peschio

Property Manager Property Management Inc RIchmond, VA

The tenant told me directly, having properly functioning smoke alarms saved her and her family’s life.

VendorGuideUSA.com

As a property manager, protecting my assets and business reputation from liability is crucial. However, protecting the lives of my tenants is without doubt my number one priority.

If a tenant’s injuries or death was caused due to smoke alarms not properly functioning or another failed code compliance, I could’ve been held responsible. Luckily, after the fire I was able to immediately log into the Stop Loss Portal and download a copy of recent property inspection reports. My advice to any property manager or owner is “don’t wait”. Know you’re protected Today!

Stop Loss Fire Safety Inspections, Property Inspections and Smoke/CO Alarm Installation can help protect your property from catastrophic fire.

FIRE SAFETY PROPERTY INSPECTIONS

PROTECT YOUR INVESTMENT

With over 34 combined years in the fire service, we have seen firsthand the damage fires cause. What most people don’t realize is that once the fire is extinguished the pain doesn’t stop and the true work begins. The average single family home takes anywhere from six months to a year to fully recover from a fire. This means lost revenue on top of the expense of the fire. At Stop Loss LLC., we know that there is no way to 100% prevent a fire from occurring, but we do know the ways to help minimize the risk.

ROOF MAINTENANCE

ROOF RENEW

A Revolution in Sustainable Roofing Technology By David Scheller

Over your head is a counter, and it’s always ticking down. Your property’s roof can only bake, freeze, and endure strong winds for so long until it demands your attention — and, unfortunately, your money. Shingle manufacturers have accelerated this problem. In the past two decades they have cut costs by reducing the asphalt content in their shingles by as much as 40 percent. In effect what was once considered a “30-year roof” may now last for as few as 10 years in Virginia weather. Paying for thousands of square feet of new shingles is expensive, and piling thousands of pounds of old ones in a landfill is not an environmentally friendly move. But thanks to Roof Renew, you no longer have to do either. Their revolutionary and all-natural bio-oil technology revitalizes dried, brittle shingles, and extends their life. Best of all, it costs as little as one-fifth of a new roof.

VendorGuideUSA.com

Roof Renew’s proprietary bio-oil is derived from the same substance that numerous departments of transportation throughout the U.S. and Canada have used to restore roads for nearly two decades. Reformulated to serve the unique needs of asphalt shingle roofs, Roof Renew’s treatment replaces the petro-chemicals that gradually evaporate from shingles. In effect, Roof Renew restores an existing roof’s ability to repel rain and deflect strong winds by restoring flexibility, granule adhesion, and waterproofing. They are so confident in their treatment’s effectiveness that they guarantee a single application to extend any roof’s lifespan by five years!

The benefits of Roof Renew’s work are immediately apparent. A bio-oil treated roof will enrich the shingle and bring out more of its original color, adding to a property’s curb appeal. Unlike conventional cleaning solutions that use bleach or chlorine, Roof Renew’s non-toxic treatment will kill the root systems of algae and mold by smothering the roots rather than poisoning them. Over time, the moss and algae will weather away and Roof Renew will prevent re-growth. Roof Renew restores shingles’ flexibility by nearly 90 percent to immunize them against hail and other debris, improves fire resistance by 40 percent, and puts an end to the accumulation of coarse granules in a building’s gutters. Roof Renew’s benefit to the environment is not speculative, either. Because recycling them is cost-prohibitive, over 11 million tons of asphalt shingles are deposited

into American landfills every year. Once dumped their remaining petrochemicals gradually seep into the water supply, and the dust they emit throughout removal is noxious as well. Roof Renew’s USDA Certified Biobased Product doesn’t just keep shingles out of landfills. It is also made with renewable ingredients which help to preserve the environment. Roof Renew respects their professional clients’ busy schedules, and they endeavor to minimize the intrusion they pose to a property’s staff or tenants. Thanks to satellite imagery they are able to measure any roof’s exact square footage from their office and then deliver a free quote for their work. Once on site they thoroughly inspect a roof to ensure their treatment will in fact increase its lifespan — they are interested only in creating value, not treating a roof that can’t benefit from it. Before Roof Renew’s seasoned technicians begin spraying, they methodically seal off cracks and repair any other cosmetic damage their inspection revealed. Finally, they apply the revolutionary treatment, a process that is fast, clean, and safe for people, pets and plants. “I evaluated a lot of business opportunities before I i nvested in this one,” said Brian Ahladas, president of Roof Renew. “That’s because I recognized at once how great a game changer this is. Until Roof Renew came along, there really was no alternative for property owners and managers to deal with an aging roof other than expensive replacement. There are so many advantages for the property manager, not the least of which is tremendous cost savings. “Roof Renew is going to have a major positive impact on the commercial and multi-family roofing market. On the residential side, we think in terms of roofing squares or square feet. In the multi-family space you’re talking about acres of shingles that will be dumped into landfills. That just doesn’t make sense if there is a viable alternative to replacement, at a fraction of the cost. I’m excited to save our clients so much money on such vital property maintenance!” To learn more about Roof Renew and request a free estimate, please visit roofrenew-va.com.

ROOF MAINTENANCE

What is Roof Renew? As asphalt shingles age, the petro-chemical oils that maintain the shingle’s flexibility and performance begin to evaporate, and problems begin to develop. Roof Renew applies an all-natural bio-based solution that replaces lost petro-chemical oils, bringing the shingle back to life. The first application is guaranteed to extend the life of your roof by 5 years, and up to 15 years with 2 more applications every 5 years.

Roof Renew guarantees to extend the life of the existing roof by 5 years with each application. Each treatment costs as low as 20% of a replacement. A 5-year warranty covers performance of our product. Environmentally safe. Non-toxic for people, plants, and pets. It rejuvenates aging asphalt shingles so they don’t have to be replaced.

Brian AFTER Ahladas and his crew are exactly the kind of professionals you want to use! Brian spent a good amount of time answering ALL my questions. He explained the process in terms I could readily understand. —Homeowner in Powhatan

ncreasing collections payments from prior residents can be an important way to fill in pandemic holes in your budget. Now is a good time to review your collections procedures in order to maximize your property’s revenue stream. Here are a few things to consider when processing move out reports and forwarding them to your collection agent. TRY TO GET A FORWARDING ADDRESS.

If residents are entitled to a security deposit refund, you want to make sure they receive it. If they owe money for unpaid rent or damages, you want to know where to send the account statement and if you don’t receive a response, where to have them served them to secure the balance with a judgment. Add the words ‘RETURN SERVICE REQUESTED’ to your envelopes just underneath your address so that if a resident has filed a forwarding address with the post office, instead of being forwarded automatically it will be returned to you with the new address. In Virginia, a case against a former resident must be filed within five years, but it is generally best to file sooner while the witnesses and evidence are still available. Once a judgment is entered, it is good for ten years and can be renewed for another ten. That is a lot of time for your former residents to clean up their lives so they are able to repay the balance they owe to you. Securing the debt with a judgment makes collection down the road more likely. RENT CHARGES. The VRLTA allows you to charge a resident actual damages for breach of the rental agreement. (55.11251) This means that you are allowed to charge rent that accrued pursuant to the lease until the unit is rerented or the lease expires, whichever occurs first. If you charge a standard lease termination fee in order to close out the tenant balance, be aware that this amount must be adjusted to reflect the actual amount of rent due if the unit is re-rented sooner. DEVELOP A COLLECTIONS PROCEDURE.

a checklist of items your collection agent will need and enlist the help of your team to make sure it is all assembled and ready to hand over. All statutorily-required documents should be included. This includes the move-in/move-out inspection report, notice of the right to be present at the walk-through and the final account statement, which generally must be sent to the resident within 45 days, either to the forwarding address or to the property address if none has been provided. Include the leasing packet showing the residents’ e-signatures. Collect invoices for all charges listed on the statement and be sure you have pictures documenting the damages. In court, we often hear residents tell the judge that they left the property in better condition than it was when they moved in, so your job is to be ready to refute this tall tale. Carpet stains can be particularly difficult to capture in pictures, so experiment with the lighting and make sure the damage is obvious in your pictures, or consider keeping a piece of the carpet if possible. BACK IT UP! If you replace your computers, make sure that your mov eout files make the transfer to the new one. Better yet, store your documents in the cloud or on an external drive, labeled so that you can find what you need easily. These files should be retained for the five-year statute of limitations period. DON’T DELAY. Those stacks on your desk have dollar signs on them. Put them to work as soon as the information is complete by forwarding the accounts to your collection agent!

JUNK REMOVAL

JUNK GOATS:

Providing Mind-Boggling Service, Professionalism and Communication By David Scheller The year 2020 was an unusual time to have graduated from college. While many young people contented themselves to stay inside and play video games, Matthew Nelligan’s ambition and entrepreneurial spirit drove him headfirst into business. “With so much time on my hands, I began developing websites and generating leads for local businesses,” Matthew recounted. “Before long I realized I might as well generate those leads for myself. I didn’t have much to start out with – an SUV, a trailer, and an understanding that the Richmond area was underserved for its junk removal needs. Fortunately that’s all I needed to found Junk Goats.” Determination pays off. Within a few months Matthew had grown his one-man show into a threeman operation, with a fourth soon to join. His SUV had been upgraded to a heavy-duty truck and hydraulic trailer. But it is Matthew’s drive to create the best value for his clients – be they homeowners, property mangers, contractors, or anyone else confronted by an abundance of stuff they’d rather be rid of – which sets Junk Goats apart.

VendorGuideUSA.com

“If Junk Goats was an experiment at first, I’m now certain it is my life’s work,” said Matthew. “I’m a Richmond native. I view every client as family and treat them as such. Getting to drive around every day to meet new people and help them with a job so crucial as junk removal has been immensely rewarding. Marketing has worked great, but I quickly learned that making those personal connections is really what drives a business forward.

“Our motto is ‘Providing mind-boggling service, professionalism and communication.’ To live up to that, we strive to make every experience our clients have with Junk Goats phenomenal. “We frequently assist with time-sensitive projects including apartment flips and home staging. When you reach out to us by phone, email, or through our website where you can receive a free quote, you’re going to speak with us right away. We commit to a plan and its price upfront. We also religiously adhere to our schedule. If for any reason we have to arrive at a jobsite early or late – which is rare – then it is our absolute priority to communicate that with you as quickly as possible.

“Junk Goats’ employees are professionals: uniformed, clean-cut and courteous. You will feel comfortable welcoming us into your apartment community and confident sending us to your own clients’ properties. We wear masks and shoe coverings in every home we service, clean as we go, and work fast to create minimal intrusion. “No job is complete until we have followed up with our client. We want to make sure we live up to your highest expectations for a junk removal service. If we fell short or missed any chance to go above and beyond, you can expect us to return right away to correct the situation. “Although Junk Goats is new to serving the Richmond area, we have already cut our teeth on every kind of junk removal and decluttering project you could imagine. We have dealt with some pretty intense hoarding situations, helped contractors finish their buildouts and renovation projects right on schedule, and made several apartments rent-ready on the same day their managers first contacted us. “We have also worked hard to make Junk Goats eco-friendly. We are partnered with Goodwill and Habitat for Humanity ReStore, where we bring any furniture, appliances, and other household items worth saving for donation. This helps us reduce our impact on landfills. It also saves us money on landfill fees – an advantage we are happy to pass onto our clients in the form of lower rates. “Zig Ziglar once said ‘You will get all you want in life, if you help enough other people get what they want.’ I want to have the top junk removal service in Richmond, and hopefully one day America. I believe we’re already right on track.”
