INTERVIEW & ARTICLE BY DAVID SCHELLER
VAC TRUCKS, WATER JETTING, DRAIN CLEANING WITH McDONOUGH’S
T
here are plenty of companies in the drain cleaning business that will engage in cunning practices, trusting that you can’t see what’s happening in those pipes hidden below your floor or in your walls. Their worst is called “popping a drain,” where they clear a clog only just enough to let the backed up water drain. They don’t ever clean it out, banking on their client’s inevitable need for their services again. Another is to pay their technicians commissions for every drain they clean, whether it needs it or not, incentivizing dishonesty. These are arguably profitable short-term strategies, but not ones that leave trails of happy customers in their wakes. McDonough’s, the Twin Citiesbased sewer and drain cleaning company which since 1992 has been owned and operated by the family it takes its name from, takes a different approach to their business that we can proudly consider a distinctly Minnesotan one: Integrity!
VendorGuideUSA.com
“We work in areas that you can’t usually see,” said Clark Young, McDonough’s director of marketing. “Our clients depend on us to do our job the right way, which means fully cleaning out their drains, not just briefly getting water flowing. That’s why we’re happy to show we have done our job by offering to run a video camera down through drain lines we have cleaned. Ideally, we don’t return to a drain for as long as it’s possible to, although some of our clients will need us more frequently, like restaurants that generate a lot of grease in their daily operations.”
6
“We don’t incentivize our technicians to take advantage of our clients’ trust, either. We only charge for time and materials, so if you have more issues than the one you’ve called us out for, we’ll fix them without markups or ‘additional drain’ fees. And don’t worry -- our technicians don’t work for commissions, so they have no reason to go after drains which don’t require attention.”
Fostering such a culture of quality over quantity has taken McDonough’s a lot of work. They’ve built up a team of nearly twenty full-time technicians who possess the abilities to excel at their craft without the bad habits, and have mastered the problem-solving skills needed to present the best value to their wide range of professional clients. (Commercial and Industrial concerns make up 90 percent of McDonough’s work.) They have also systematically tested out countless pieces of equipment that relate to their business over the better part of the past three decades, choosing the best tools to get their job done effectively and efficiently. Drain cleaning is just one of the legs of McDonough’s that stands on; another is vacuum trucks. “We use the most powerful vac trucks in the industry to clean and move every type of material you could imagine,” explained Clark. “They’re extremely powerful, able to suck up everything including powdered materials such as flour, lime, and cement, and dry materials like sawdust, seeds, sand, glass, shredded paper, gravel, and rocks. These trucks go one step further, too, because they’re able to remove liquids and mud. Wet, dry, or any combination of the two, if it fits in the nozzle then we can vacuum it away. With a McDonough’s vac truck, a job that would have taken a team of men all day can be done by a couple of our guys in only a few hours.” McDonough’s vac trucks have accomplished a countless variety of tasks. When Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport needed their landscaping’s unique purple glass removed, McDonough’s vac trucks made short work of the chore. When a recent Minnesota statute necessitated that elevator shafts’ floors be concrete rather than gravel, they removed the standing water at the bottoms of shafts throughout the Twin Cities. They have helped to reclaim a freight train’s spilled cargo of pellets, cleared out
countless car wash pits, and removed ton after ton of sand which had been laid down on icy parking lots before it could clog storm sewers. McDonough’s vac trucks have become inextricable parts of many businesses’ day to day operations. Several local companies, including ones that produce concrete mix and recycle paper products, couldn’t do without the on demand suction that a McDonough’s vac truck provides. Municipalities regularly call on McDonough’s to remove old grit from their water treatment systems so that fresh grit can be added, keeping their drinking water pure and clean. McDonough’s cleans grease traps of all sizes as well, even the giant ones beneath industrial kitchens like you would find at hospitals. Their process doesn’t blow the smell of old grease throughout the kitchen, either. Anyone who has ever worked in a kitchen would readily tell you they prefer it the McDonough’s way. The story of industry boils down to one core problem: Nothing is where it ought to be, be it raw materials, product, or waste. If you’ve got grease, dirt, sand, gravel, industrial waste, sewage, or practically any other material where it ought not to be, either plugging up a drain or hindering your work areas, then you need only the experts at McDonough’s at your side. Please visit unclogdrains.com to learn more about the great range of services that McDonough’s offers. Call to learn more 612-930-1188.

what’s all this talk about
NET-ZERO ENERGY BUILDINGS
NET ZERO ENERGY [net zeer-oh en-er-jee] | noun
The state that exists when the amount of energy provided by on-site renewable-energy sources is equal or equivalent to the amount of energy used. Net Zero Energy (NZE) is a concept that includes energy conservation, energy efficiency, and on-site renewable generation to account for 100% of a building’s energy usage. NZE has become the holy grail of architecture and energy efficiency as building owners, states and cities seek to drastically reduce carbon emissions in a global effort to combat climate change. That’s because buildings produce about 40 percent of carbon emissions globally, a figure that could drop with greater efficiency, design and on-site energy production. Not to be left out, the federal government has jumped on the NZE bandwagon three year ago with President Barack Obama’s Executive Order 13693 (March 2015) which mandates that “all new construction of Federal buildings greater than 5,000 gross square feet … be designed to achieve energy net-zero and, where feasible, water or waste net-zero by fiscal year 2030.” Progressive architects and planners are integrating the Net Zero concept in many new building designs. But what about existing buildings? Can they achieve Net Zero? Or can they approach Net Zero? And what is the value of that investment?
AND
WHY
SHOULD YOU CARE?
Existing structures are limited in their ability to capitalize on many of the current energy-efficiency design elements such as framing using concrete, super insulation of floors, windows and ceilings, use of low-e windows, superefficient “cool” and “green” roofs, gray-water radiant heating systems, landscaping and irrigation. As an alternative, building owners are focusing in the two ends of the NZE spectrum – energy conservation and onsite renewable energy generation. The most popular and cost-effective method of achieving energy conservation is a lighting retrofit. Upgrading to LED lighting can reduce electricity consumption by as much as 70 percent. And because LED produces virtually no heat, it can lower the building’s demand for cooling, another huge power consumer. On the generation side, building owners are recognizing that their roof-top is an ideal platform for installation of solar panels. Depending on the size of the building, the electric power generated by Solar has the potential to equal the power used by the new lighting systems – producing a net zero lighting system! So, you might wonder … is an investment in NZE something that will generate a strong return? Simply stated, in most cases the answer is YES. In the short-term, an LED lighting upgrade will immediately impact operating costs through lower electricity costs and reduced maintenance. When this lower cost is combined with the aggressive lighting rebates offered by Xcel energy, return on investment can be achieved in 18-24 months. Installing a solar system to independently generate electric power also has significant cost advantages, most importantly a known future cost hedging against future energy price increases. Over the past three years, the cost of solar panels and associated components have dropped significantly. When these lower costs are combined with federal investment tax credits (currently at 30%), accelerated depreciation of the solar system, and Xcel incentives, a solar system can be cash-flow positive immediately upon operation! What’s more, several financing options are available for both LED lighting upgrades and solar that offer building owners zero out-of-pocket cost investment.
VendorGuideUSA.com
Finally, beyond short-term financial advantages, owning an NZE building can increase its value as the demand for energy-efficient buildings grows. For owners of multi-family properties, offering a “green” home can help attract and retain quality tenants. According to the World Gree n Building Council, potential tenants are recognizing the benefits of green living and are willing to pay the premium for it.

YOU’LL BE FLOORED BY BIG BOB’S
INTERVIEW & ARTICLE BY DAVID SCHELLER
Big Bob’s Flooring Outlet is part of a nationwide buying group which caters to the needs of retail, multifamily, and commercial clients alike. Their great size gives them correspondingly great buying power, both in terms of the flooring they offer and the labor required to install it well. Big Bob’s customers take great value from this, as the lesser costs they enjoy as the result of working with so substantial a company lets them invest more into other aspects of their businesses. The peace of mind that comes from working with real professionals is hard to overvalue as well. The Twin Cities’ own Big Bob’s is owned by Jack Zezza, a career floor installer who opened his franchise back in 1998. Jack and his store’s four employees share 160 years worth of combined experience between them, so they can provide invaluable support during your next flooring project however considerable your knowledge of flooring might be. Big Bob’s keeps a wide inventory onsite, so you need never commit to flooring that you have not first personally ascertained the quality of.
VendorGuideUSA.com
Big Bob’s works with the country’s largest flooring manufacturers: Shaw Floors, Engineered Floors, and Mohawk Flooring. By partnering with these select few operations Big Bob’s is able to purchase flooring for lower prices, and further ensure that they can supply any type of flooring their customers might require, whether that would be carpet, hardwood, laminate, tile, vinyl, or luxury vinyl tile.
12
Big Bob’s great size further enables them to vet and engage only the most qualified installers. The amount of business that working for Big Bob’s guarantees means these installers dearly value every job they’re sent to accomplish. (If you have ever had to wrangle contractors during a one-off project, then you understand just how precious such loyalty
can be.) Big Bob’s installers’ professionalism will preserve the tone of the properties they are called upon to work at. Leaving no mess behind them, being courteous to tenants, showing up on time, and above all doing quality work -- these are the traits which make a Big Bob’s installer so unique in this day and age. No matter their business, a property owner understands that work like flooring installation can seriously harm their bottom line if not tended to quickly. Big Bob’s exceptional turnaround time is therefore another facet of the substantial value that they offer. If their client’s is a commercial property, Big Bob’s streamlined process ensures that work is performed and completed outside of business hours when office staff won’t be inconvenienced. If it is multi-housing, Big Bob’s can be counted upon to replace a unit’s flooring before the new tenant begins to move in their furniture -- within 24 hours, if necessary. Several of Big Bob’s clients manage larger apartment buildings, and have provided their units’ measurements beforehand. In these cases Big Bob’s installers arrive with precut flooring, even further lessening the amount of time they have to spend onsite. Whether you manage several buildings, or have just bought your first investment property and wish to count on the opinion of a consummate professional for your new flooring needs, then you need only place your business in the hands of the experts at Big Bob’s. Jack and his people are standing by to demonstrate how they present value like no other flooring supplier in the country can.

UP
ON THE ROOF
with Walker Roofing
INTERVIEW & ARTICLE BY DAVID SCHELLER
A successful business owner is the hardest kind of customer to please. They won’t be moved by flashy gimmicks or empty promises, because at the end of the day they know it’s only honest and high quality work that deserves anyone’s business -- especially their own. Stacy Reese understands this perfectly, which is why she keeps Walker Roofing poised to deliver only the best roofing and other exterior renovation services to Twin Cities area businesses.
VendorGuideUSA.com
“Unfortunately, the roofing industry in particular is known for its disreputable contractors,” said Stacy. “In the past too many of our clients have dealt with people who’ve done subpar work, only to find they’ve disappeared when it inevitably needs to be corrected. They’re relieved to see just how dedicated our family owned and operated company stays to our craft. We regularly examine every stage of our process to see where we can create more value, and that has really paid off -- nearly half of our clients have hired us a second time or referred us to one of their acquaintances, which to me is the highest distinction a business owner can win.”
14
Walker Roofing has grown substantially since Stacy’s father Mike Kohler bought the company in 1963. Having passed all the trials that any small business must endure in order to succeed, they now stand as one of the largest outfits of their type in the state of Minnesota. Their equipment includes two cranes, six dump trucks, and a collection of pickup trucks. Their permanent warehouse stores enough materials that no want of them can ever delay the work they do, and their fulltime staff of 25 as well as their cadre of subcontractors know exactly how to implement them. “M ost of our guys have been with us for over a decade,” explained Stacy. “At this point they’ve earned all of our trust, and there’s nothing they can’t do when it comes to roofing, siding, soffits, fascia, chimneys, and gutters. Still, we have a team of supervisors, none of whom have less than 30
years of experience, to go and visit our job sites daily just to make certain everything’s going according to plan. Their up to date knowledge gives our clients great peace of mind if they decide to call in for a status report.” At any given time, about half of Walker Roofing’s projects are commercial ones. In the past they’ve worked for some of the most prestigious clients that a company like theirs could hope to earn. Anyone driving past downtown Minneapolis can see an instance of their work on top of the Wells Fargo Center, and the Better Business Bureau itself hired Walker Roofing to work on their regional headquarters. They have even been called out to job sites as remote as Florida to deal with storm damage there. The value which Walker Roofing represents to a client who must maintain a place of business manifests itself in a number of ways. Their fleet of mobile equipment drastically limits the intrusion they’ll create as they do their work -- if you’ve a parking lot for your customers, that means no loss of business. (If you run a restaurant then Walker Roofing will likely create more business, as roofers aren’t known for their bird-like appetites.) Their streamlined process ensures that they’ll be in and out quickly, further minimizing any intrusion they could create. Their seasoned employees exhibit exemplary courtesy while on the job, which will preserve the high tone you’ve worked so hard to foster at your place of business.
Walker Roofing uses products by GAF, the largest roofing material manufacturer in North America, which presents the additional benefit of the best available warranties that the roofing industry has to offer. Furthermore, their full-time office staff has worked with every insurance provider in the country. Short of making your payments for you, they can handle the entirety of that part of the transaction. After our cold and relatively dry winter, the roof of your place of business may be in greater need of repair or replacement than ever. Such conditions wreak absolute havoc on shingles, causing them to curl, crack, and crumble, and they’re about as friendly to other types of roofing materials as well. Whether you’ve noticed signs of roof trouble or believe you’ve let yours go without repair for long enough, depending on the work of a local company that endeavors to stick around is highly advisable. “I’ve worked at Walker Roofing since I was in high school,” said Stacy. “It’s the only job I’ve ever had, and I couldn’t be prouder to now run my father’s business. I’d like Walker Roofing to keep serving our community forever, and I don’t know how to do that except by treating every job like it’s the most important one we’ll ever do. This is something I want to pass down to my sons one day, so it couldn’t be more important to me.” Please visit walkerroofing.com to learn more about the great value our preeminent local roofing company can bring to your business.

Commercial
Building
EMS
DO YOU HAVE ONE IN PLACE?
ARTICLE PROVIDED BY SUNTIDE COMMERCIAL REALTY
Every building can improve its energy performance and run efficiently. Within a commercial building there are several key components that affect energy consumption and equipment functionality. An Energy Management System (EMS) plays a major role in managing these components and maximizing the overall performance of the building. An EMS monitors, controls and provides data regarding energy usage in a building. Implementing an EMS reduces operating costs, lowers carbon emissions and can result in an energy savings up to 40% if used properly. An EMS integrates all building systems to work as one systemized unit. This system is important to the daily operation of your building as well as alerting you to failures and problems. Max Currie, Principal and Chief Engineer at Suntide Commercial Realty, Inc., a commercial property management and construction company, implements and monitors energy management systems in all buildings Suntide manages and owns throughout the Twin Cities. He recommends four main areas to concentrate on to receive substantial savings.
LIGHTING CONTROL SYSTEM Interior and exterior building lights should be connected to your EMS. Lighting a building is a large expense for owners and eliminating off hour lighting is imperative to cost savings. Sensors and meters can control the schedule of days and times lights are to be in use in high traffic areas as well as non-occupied spaces. Max recommends adding daylight harvesting sensors to reduce peak demand charges. HVAC Implementation of an EMS can yield increase savings to your HVAC equipment. By scheduling operation times, you reduce the buildings load allowing your system to operate more efficiently. Setting zones to turn off exhaust fans when not needed and controlling the temperature of spaces at night increases the longevity of your equipment as well as saving energy. A good rule of thumb is tying the EMS to the Variable Frequency Drive to yield further savings. WATER USAGE Significant reductions in water use can be made by implementing simple changes. Be sure to install water-efficient fixtures in restrooms, showers and kitchens. Landscaping designs should incorporate fixtures and techniques minimizing water loss. The EMS will monitor these fixtures and the EMS data will present areas of improvement and cost saving. For example, if your data indicates you have high water usage over a holiday when water consumption is expected to be lower, this would indicate a possible water leak.
There are also several other energy outputs that should be monitored by the EMS. Suntide Commercial Realty can guide you through the process and maintain your building to achieve top performance. Suntide achieved awards for the top 2 buildings over 100,000 SF in the city of Minneapolis with the lowest energy consumption and the largest rooftop solar array in the city of St. Paul. Suntide has reduced energy by 40% in three of the largest properties under their management, each earning the energy star rating. You too can achieve these results. Connect with us to learn how www.suntide.com, or call us at 651-603-0321.
VendorGuideUSA.com
POWER CONSUMPTION Monitoring your building’s power usage is another way to improve energy efficiency. The EMS will collect and monitor data for all energy outputs. This allows you the ability to analyze the consumption and identify areas of concerns or waste. For example, if a system was manually set for 24 hour use it would be reflected in the energy used. Demand limiting strategies can be added for even more savings.
The more building systems connected to the EMS the better your ability to interpret the efficiency of the building and make decisions to administer adjustments for optimal performance. The EMS will report detailed energy consumption data making it possible to see patterns of energy waste and to trace your progress to make ongoing energy savings.
