Central Virginia’s Best-in-Class Dumpster Rental service By David scheller As the greater Richmond area’s premier all-in-one sitework and building demolition contractor, CD Hall Construction generates a great deal of refuse which can grind jobsite productivity to a halt if it’s allowed to accumulate. To deal with this accumulation, CD Hall and their clients have always needed a large number of roll-off dumpsters. The locally owned contractor tried virtually every dumpster rental service Central Virginia had to offer. Unfortunately, not one could keep up with their volume. After jeopardizing one too many project deadlines with unreliable dumpster service, CD Hall adopted the following philosophy: “If you want something done right – do it yourself.” They now have their own dumpster rental service focused on providing top-tier service to their clients. “If you looked up ‘go-getter’ in the dictionary, you would see a picture of Carter Hall,” said James Raine, special projects manager for CD Hall Construction. “Our founder became an entrepreneur when he began selling Christmas trees at just eight years old, and he started a landscaping company at 15. From there he went on to develop the multi-million dollar enterprise we have today – all because of great work and superlative customer service.
VendorGuideUSA.com
“No one understands value better than a self-made man, and we all share Carter’s spirit here at CD Hall. That’s why we saw a great opportunity when several of our clients – who were also being impacted by the Richmond area’s lack of a truly reliable dumpster rental service – told us they wished we could take care of their dumpsters for them.
6
“We decided to add dumpster rental to our list of services one year ago. We didn’t take that expansion lightly. We knew we had about 20 other providers to compete with, and also that we couldn’t let the quality of our dumpster service deviate even slightly from the great reputation which CD Hall has earned over the past four decades. “Over that short span of time, I’m proud to say we have doubled the number of our dumpster hauler
trucks and added 120 dumpsters to our fleet. And we don’t owe such rapid growth to CD Hall already having become a household name throughout our area. We did it by providing the same great service we always do – and also expect from the other contractors we regularly hire as well. “Anyone could buy a truck and a couple of dumpsters and market themself as a rental service. But without a strong structure and commitment to reliable delivery, they’re only going to wind up hurting their clients. We know firsthand that a full dumpster means workers are going to have to throw trash away twice: once around the full dumpster’s base, and then again when the new one finally arrives. That is crippling to any busy jobsite, which is why we guarantee service within 24 hours of our client’s phone call. “Speed means everything in the dumpster business. We’re usually able to deliver the same day we receive the call. In most cases we dispatch dumpsters to a client’s jobsite before they have even ended the phone call! That’s what we wanted from dumpster providers back when we depended on them, so that’s exactly what we determined to deliver right from the onset. “We also believe a best-in-class dumpster provider must espouse environmental stewardship. We deal mostly in construction debris, but we make every effort to recycle whatever materials our clients discard – without adding costs to their end. We also take care not to dispose of asbestos, paint, and other potentially hazardous materials at landfills. “We hang our hat on impeccable customer service here at CD Hall. Whether you give us the opportunity to provide you with dumpsters or prepare hundreds of acres of land for your new housing development, our only goal is to impress you.” However, many dumpsters you might need and however long you might need them for, CD Hall is the only name a Virginian contractor needs to know.

Common Comments from Property Managers and Leasing Agents prior to partnering with Stop Loss We Have Our Own Inspection Process… The Stop Loss inspection process was developed by working with property managers, owners, contractors and firefighters. Stop Loss’s specialized report includes known hazards, maintenance needs, fire hazards and overall tenant care of the property. Being in compliance with all VRLTA laws, helps to reduce liability for owners and property managers while helping to protect the tenants and property. Every Stop Loss property inspection ensures the residence is compliant with all VRLTA laws pertaining to smoke and CO alarms.
The increased requests mean maintenance staff is busier and busier and preventative maintenance and compliance inspections often fail to get completed. Those failures can open the property manager and owner up to increased liability.
FIRE SAFETY PROPERTY INSPECTIONS
Stop Loss LLC is the Property Managers’ boots on the ground. We perform on-site property inspections which combine fire prevention, preventative maintenance, and VRLTA compliance into one report. Property Managers can see each of their properties through inspection reports uploaded to their personal portal.
We Are Compliant… Are you? Can you prove it??? The VRLTA placed specific requirements on landlords and property managers which can carry a significant monetary risk. Having a third-party inspection and compliance process helps to shield the property managers from unnecessary liability. Stop Loss Compliance reports prove compliance with VRLTA and local building codes, are available to property managers 24/7 through their online portal and all reports are maintained securely for 3 years.
With over 35 combined years in the fire service, we have seen firsthand the damage fires cause. Who better to tell you how to prevent a fire than the person who may show up when you cannot.
Our Property Managers Perform Our Inspections…
Our Maintenance Tech Performs Our Property Inspection… More and more people are working from home and maintenance requests have increased significantly.

Stop Loss inspections are often used to supplement or replace a firms annual or bi-annual inspection. By removing on-site inspections from a property managers’ schedule, we free up time for you to grow your business and focus on other important aspects of your job.

COUNTERTOPS
For All Your Kitchen and Bathroom Refinishing Needs! INTERVIEW & ARTICLE BY DAVID SCHELLER “I started Sonshine 34 years ago because I appreciated how badly property managers need fast countertop refinishing,” said Gary. “I know property managers want renovations done yesterday if they’re going to avoid vacancy costs, so fast turnaround has always been important to me. I also know how overworked and under-appreciated they are, so I do my best to bring a smile to their faces.”
If you ask Gary Nester to summarize his approach to business, he might recite Proverbs 20:7 for you: The righteous man walks in his integrity; His children are blessed after him.
making sure to sand down surfaces so their new finishes will last as long as possible. Our motto also means we test out every new material as it becomes available and use the ones that we’ve proven work best.
Gary couldn’t lay down his values any more plainly. Not only does his Sonshine Countertop Repair offer the state of Virginia’s most honest multi-family kitchen and bathroom refinishing service – he has also built up a business that his family will be proud to take over once he has repaired his last countertop.
“One product for countertops that consistently impresses our clients is Stone-Fleck. It creates a long-lasting finish that looks just like granite – but with nowhere near the same material cost or installation time. We can custom tint durable Stone-Fleck to match any style, so it’s far more versatile than other finishes which only come in white or almond!
“Soon after starting Sonshine, our clients began asking if we could also refinish their bathtubs and ceramic tiles. That was an opportunity to make their lives even easier, so my team and I learned those two new trades. Now Sonshine combines all three services in one, making it that much easier to flip a unit quickly.
VendorGuideUSA.com
“We’re the biggest team in Virginia solely dedicated to countertops, bathtubs and ceramic tiles. In addition to our full-time technicians we also have several qualified parttime guys to help out when we get really busy.
12
“Once in a while a client asks us to refinish a tub that in our expert opinion just isn’t salvageable. In that case we’ll recommend someone to them who can replace it – but we won’t take their money. We’re in it for the long haul. When doing the job right means not doing it at all, that’s the call we’re going to make.
We’re always ready, and we stay focused on multifamily properties. I’m sure there’s good money to be made at private residences, but doing that could make us unavailable to property managers who need us more.
“My son has worked with me ever since he graduated high school 28 years ago. My daughter Tammy has been our office administrator for 17 years. My son-in-law and daughter-in-law both work with us. My two grandsons have recently joined us as well, putting three generations of Nesters here at Sonshine. I’m looking forward to handing down an honest, successful business to all of them one day.
“We certainly emphasize fast work, but we’ll never compromise the integrity of our service by taking shortcuts. We follow a motto here at Sonshine: “The bitterness of poor quality lasts longer than the sweetness of low price.’
“And the fact that almost every one of our new clients are referred to us by other satisfied customers? Well, I think that puts Sonshine right on track to stay a family business for a long, long time.”
That means we only use the best techniques at our disposal. We spend more time on prep work than most of our competitors,
Sonshine Countertop Repair serves all of Central Virginia as well as the Northern and Tidewater regions. If you need fast, honest and high quality work on your apartment community’s countertops, bathtubs and ceramic tiles, then you need only visit sonshinecountertop.com.

N
ow that the rollout of vaccinations has allowed us to consider the prospect of a return to normalcy, what is the next obstacle that lies in our future? Bankruptcy clerks and other consumer advocates anticipate that the next wave might be one of consumer bankruptcy filings. Consumers have two options in bankruptcy: Chapter 7 or Chapter 13. Chapter 7 is a relatively fast process, generally lasting 6 months or less from filing to discharge. Often this type of filing by a current resident is a last gasp by the debtor to get more time to move out, and it is rare for any assets to be available for payment to creditors. Chapter 13, on the other hand, is often referred to as a wageearner’s bankruptcy. It requires that the debtor pay all excess income over that required to cover basic living expenses to the Trustee, who distributes the funds according to a court-supervised payment plan. Priority is given to creditors with a secured claim, such as a car loan, with any remaining funds paid to unsecured creditors, usually at a fairly low percentage of the claim amount. In order to receive any payment at all, a creditor must file a Proof of Claim with the bankruptcy court. These cases can continue for up to five years, and unsecured creditors often are not paid until the end of the case.
If the debtor or co-debtor is a current tenant, you may not proceed with an eviction case without first getting permission from the bankruptcy court. This is done by filing a Motion for Relief from the automatic stay or co-debtor stay, which can be filed any time the resident is in default of the terms of the lease and takes 30-45 days. The Order granting relief usually only authorizes you to proceed with the unlawful detainer in state court, but may include the right to recovery of rent depending on the circumstances of the case and the motion filed. Sometimes residents will move out voluntarily after a Motion for Relief is filed. Although Chapter 7 cases are generally shorter, you might be tempted to avoid the expense of a Motion for Relief by waiting it out, but since it is possible for these cases to stretch out for months beyond that time it is safest to file one even in a Chapter 7. Once a bankruptcy discharge has been issued, you are required to file a satisfaction of any judgments, reflecting the satisfaction through bankruptcy, and failing to do so could be deemed a violation of federal bankruptcy law. It is important to remember that bankruptcy courts see their role as protecting the right to file and receive a discharge and tend therefore to be debtor-friendly. If you have questions about any bankruptcy notice you receive, do reach out to us at Godwin-Jones & Price for advice on how to proceed.

Regardless of the type of case filed, a bankruptcy notice requires that an owner put on the brakes and screech to a halt. The filing triggers an Automatic Stay, imposing a stop on any further collection actions. If you receive notice of a bankruptcy filing for a former resident, you are required to cease collection actions immediately, and the bankruptcy information should be passed along to any law firm or collection agency handling the collection. Document this in your property management software as well to avoid a violation in the future, which can carry serious consequences. If the debt is owed by more than one person, the remaining debtors are protected by a co-debtor stay while a Chapter 13 case is pending, so you are unable to pursue collections actions against them without approval from the bankruptcy court.

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.
16
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. ◆

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!
20
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
