“You want cleaning?

That’s what I do! ”

SPRING RARE CARE CLEANING SOLUTIONS By David Scheller

Nerry Goodwyn entered corporate America following his discharge from the United States Navy in 1992. Like many people who find themselves in corporate America, Nerry soon looked for a way to get out. Nerry had worked for his father’s cleaning business growing up. Although the work was hard, Nerry appreciated his father’s independence, his ability to deal directly with people, and his job which created real, immediate value for his clients. Nerry resolved to put both the determination he had inherited and the skills he had learned from his father to good use. So Nerry hit the pavement. As soon as his shift at the bank ended, his real job began: scouring the Richmond area for any door, mailbox or hand into which he could stick a flyer advertising his newfound cleaning business.

VendorGuideUSA.com

“Running a successful business these days is all about GoDaddy, Facebook and getting in the top five results on Google searches,” said Nerry. “But back then all you needed were nice brochures, business cards, and people to give them to. After a lot of late nights looking for new clients and earning their trust, I was spending more time on my cleaning business than I was at the bank. And that’s when I quit the bank!”

Nerry’s first anchor client was a hospital, a very sterile space which demanded his highest level of attention. So large a business afforded Nerry many opportunities to impress people, and word of mouth gained him a range of new clients. Soon he was providing professional janitorial services for churches, car dealerships, and day care centers throughout the Richmond area. All of these places demanded top notch cleaning for very different reasons, but Nerry immediately proved himself the only man any of them could need. “I’ve been in business for almost 30 years now,” said Nerry, “and in that amount of time I’ve cleaned everything. Rare Care Cleaning Solutions has provided the janitorial services for high rise office buildings. We’ve done clean-outs for Section 8 houses, even

having to go as far as plastic-wrapping bed bug infested furniture to take to the dump. We’ve helped with more construction and renovation projects than I can count, always making sure they get done on time or ahead of schedule. Just last week my client who stages homes for a living got a $100 tip for getting her job done so quickly. That’s the kind of result I like to hear about! “Rare Care Cleaning Solutions has all the equipment we need to do any kind of job. My clients especially rely on my power washing services, and I’ll do everything from stripping decks to cleaning siding to making storefronts look like their bricks were just laid yesterday. “Back when I was a yeomen on the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower, I was responsible for sailors getting their payroll checks. Making sure people get paid on time is just as important in business as it is on an aircraft carrier, so I’ve got a large group of faithful employees standing by to help me get any size cleaning project done fast and right. “I’m proud of Rare Care Cleaning Solutions’ track record. After three decades in business the BBB hasn’t gotten one single complaint about us. We’ve never received an insurance claim, never broken our clients’ property, never messed up on anything – ever. That’s because I only hire good people, and I’m always onsite to personally supervise every project we take on. “You want cleaning? That’s what I do!”

Rare Care Cleaning Solutions is the great American success story: one man who determined to become his own boss by offering the best service on the market, and then doing exactly that. If you would like to engage Nerry Goodwyn’s complete approach to cleaning at your apartment community or any other place of business, please reach out to him at (571) 251-3822 or nerrygoodwyn@yahoo.com. •

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.

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.”

ecently we discovered that the answer to Shakespeare’s question is: A lot! Our office verified the employment of one of our debtors with a common name, let’s call him John Smith. We issued a garnishment against him at the place of employment, received payment of the total judgment amount in September, marked the judgment satisfied in October, and in November received a call from the employer informing us that their John Smith was not the same as our John Smith. After verifying that the social security numbers, full legal name and signatures did not match, the money was refunded and a motion is now pending in court to have the judgment reinstated. Since Notices of Default are likely generated by your property management software, it is crucial that the data be entered into that system correctly. This seems like a simple and obvious task, but we often discover name discrepancies when we receive copies of leases after a case has been filed or in connection with a collections turnover. Common errors include omission of a suffix, misspelling of a name or inversion of two letters and failure to use the full legal name. Although you may address your residents by nicknames like “Liz” or “Skipper” when you talk to them informally, the lease and notices generated by your software are legal documents and should be in the correct legal name which matches the resident’s ID.

WHAT’S IN A NAME? owner but also in connection with other credit applications, and having the correct name listed is can be both a blessing and a curse. You can look up cases by court and by name, so it is a great resource for checking on applicants’ tenancy at prior apartments. Information available includes a separate record of each case filing and the type of case (unlawful detainer, warrant in debt, garnishment), the amount of any judgments entered, whether a writ was issued and if the judgment has been marked satisfied. Since this is public information, judgments you have gotten against prior tenants often trigger requests for them to be satisfied, and this is particularly likely to occur if the tenant had a common name. Usually, these former tenants are in a hurry to get the matter resolved in order to qualify for something else, so if you have had a management change and need to locate the tenant file it can be time-consuming. But on the good side, it could be your former residents calling to pay off that unsatisfied judgment, particularly if the case was filed with the correct name. So, what IS in a name? As it turns out, really a lot. Now is the time to train your team on the importance of getting every name right!

Using the correct legal name in your case filings is not only important, but it can also save you time down the road.

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

RESIDENT & TEAM BUILDING EVENTS

A Community Event You Can Do in Your Paja mas! By David Scheller

Lynn Black has an eye for talent. I know this because she is the publisher of Vendor Guide, and she has clearly selected only the best to write for her magazine. But in all fairness, Lynn would argue that anyone has at least some artistic talent. It is her mission to help people find it.

at restaurants and wineries, where friends could share a laugh while painting the same scene together. And if they choose to send me their photos ahead of time, I’ll sketch out each of my students’ pets on individual canvases so they can all paint something truly personal.

Lynn teaches group painting classes. Paint for Good provides the paints, the canvases, and the vital instruction any group of people needs to start creating masterpieces. Since 2018 Paint for Good has become popular for fundraising events, team building exercises, and plain old-fashioned fun.

“When last year put a pause on group activities, a local apartment community manager asked if I could still give classes online. I knew just what to do. I called my Millennial daughter and asked her to show me how to use Zoom.

“I worked in and around property management here in Richmond for over 30 years,” said Lynn. “At one time I had a client who worked in the senior housing industry. She knew I was an artist, so she asked if I would help conduct a wine and painting event to raise money for the Alzheimer’s Association. I kind of fumbled through it on my first try, but that night was a huge success. Everyone had a beautiful painting by the end of it, and we raised over $1,000.

VendorGuideUSA.com

“Paint for Good classes have so far raised over $3,000 for Alzheimer’s organizations and local animal rescues. I also began offering group classes

“Keeping Paint for Good going during the pandemic has been an incredible experience. People have felt so isolated these days, especially those living in retirement communities. Spending a couple hours doing something fun with their friends and neighbors has helped a lot of folks share the companionship they were missing. I call it a community event you can do in your pajamas! “I have loved watching my art classes bring people together. That is no coincidence, because whether it’s through art, property management, or publishing, I have always enjoyed helping people connect. It’s not the same as watching friends bond over painting, but whenever I find out that a decision maker in the local multi-family business community has discovered a great contractor through Vendor Guide, I feel a similar kind of joy. Bringing people together – isn’t that the greatest thing?” Lynn is standing by to deliver the materials your group needs for their upcoming art class. She has also resumed teaching smaller gatherings. If you would like to learn more about Paint for Good or schedule a class, please visit paintforgoodrva.com.

GUTTERS

Richmond, Glen Allen and Chesterfield Counties’ Number One Gutter Installation Company By David Scheller

VendorGuideUSA.com

If you want to appreciate the job your gutters do for your apartment community, simply picture life without them. A once unoffending rainfall would now pose a disastrous threat to your landscaping. Erosion would eat away at your building’s foundation, while mold and mildew set into its frame. Your siding, windows, and doors would all gradually rot away, turning your property’s curb appeal into curb appall.

gutters are backed by a 20 year warranty – and you can expect Rain Carriers to honor that warranty in full.

Not a pretty picture at all. Fortunately greater Richmond area property managers need never experience life without this invaluable roof feature, because they have Rain Carriers to depend on.

Rain Carriers additionally installs Bulldog Gutter Guard products. The American-made aluminum gutter guards fit both new and existing gutters equally well, are fortified against even the most brutal elements, and are invisible from ground level. Bulldog’s gutter guards also drastically reduce the need for maintenance. Their patented ribbed design permits gentle airflow to clear the gutter from gathering debris, and birds can not find a way beneath them.

Rain Carriers is a true locally owned and operated company. At their helm you will find husband and wife Ron and Jessie Young, who in a few months will celebrate their 20th year in business together. They are career gutter installation specialists, and Ron himself has preserved Virginia’s apartment communities from rot and disaster since he was a teenager.

Rain Carriers offers far more than fine gutters. Their skill and expertise also carry over to rotten wood replacement, which their gutter work leads them to discover without fail. Whereas a single-minded gutter installer might simply affix gutters to rotting wood and call it a day, one of Rain Carriers’ seasoned experts will mend the underlying problem on the spot so as to avert eventual disaster.

Rain Carriers is not some sprawling nationwide franchise, and that is their strength. They are a tightknit crew of gutter specialists who take pride in their work and carry out every job under the supervision of Ron himself. Whatever the scope of your project, you will deal directly with Ron every step of the way. His attentive, earnest approach to gutter installation has let Ron retain the same clients he first began serving back in 2001.

Siding, soffit, and fascia all fall within Rain Carriers’ jurisdiction as well. Their experts can just as handily repair these vital features as they would install a gutter, eliminating the need to coordinate multiple contractors just so that your apartment community can benefit from a flawless, long-lasting exterior.

“We pride ourselves on our fast turnaround and performing only the highest quality work,” said Ron. “Fully satisfying the needs of our clients means doing our job right the first time, every time. We never want to have to return to a jobsite to fix any mistakes we might have made!” The highest quality work demands the highest quality materials. That is why Rain Carriers primarily installs gutters by Lansing. Lansing’s gutters form straight and crisp to complement any property’s appearance, feature the Alumalure 2000 coating system which virtually eliminates corrosion, and are available in 25 colors for total customizability. Better yet, Lansing’s

Rain Carriers even fixes roofs, but they will never overextend themselves. When they identify a roofing problem which they can’t address definitively, they engage a trusted colleague who can.

Rain Carriers covers a vast area, ensuring no building in Richmond, Glen Allen, or Chesterfield Counties need ever want for superlative gutters or other exterior repairs. Contact them and Ron himself will visit your property to provide a free estimate for the job. Choose him to tend to the work and you will be relieved never to have to seek out another gutter man again! Please call (804) 283-5863 or visit raincarriers. net to find out more. ◆

“New Dominion Painting has been doing work for about 12 years for me both personally and professionally. His painters are timely and clean, they always do outstanding work. Working with them has always been easy from scheduling the work, competitive pricing, special projects/custom paints, and special requests. They provide excellent customer service and are always quick to respond and/or follow up with completed work. I will continue to use them in the future and highly recommend them for any painting project.”
