In the July 1st 2013 edition of TIME magazine, there is a great article called "Can Service Save Us?". While it's expounding on the ideas of community, public, and military service, I think it touches on something relevant to "for profit" businesses. Serving our communities and helping others (in this case our customers) is really the hallmark of any successful business.
How Does STRONGHOLD FLOORS Serve Our Communities?
As I read that magazine article yesterday, it got me thinking about how we, STRONGHOLD FLOORS, serve our communities. Every year, we interact with a broad list of communities in Maryland and Pennsylvania, including:
- Homeowners
- Homebuilders
- Businesses
- Volunteer/non-profit organizations
Today (July 1st, 2013) marks our official nine years as a Pennsylvania-based company installing epoxy coatings for concrete floors. We began as a three person franchise of PremierGarage in 2004 serving only south-central Pennsylvania. Now, we are team of 13 with two locations serving over 25 counties in our service area across Maryland, Pennsylvania, and northern Virginia.
It has been our pleasure to serve our communities and we would like to say a few words to each of these areas.
Homeowners
With over 3,500 residential floor coatings customers, we could not begin to name them all. But, we would like to thank everyone for trusting us to help improve your garages, basements, pool houses, patios, and pole barns.
A special thanks for nearly 1,000 referrals.
Homebuilders
When we were new, it was not easy to convince builders to take a chance on us. As such, we have to thank EGStoltzfus, Roland Builder, and Stephen Black Builders for bringing us into their Parade of Homes entries in 2005. They took a chance on us and many builders followed. We appreciate their continued trust and business. We look forward to many more Parades of Homes and Home-A-Rama projects.
Businesses
This is definitely the area that keeps things interesting. We've had the opportunity to apply coatings to kennels, milking rooms, cheese production floors, airplane hangars, vet clinics, race car garages, and machine shops. It's fantastic to join these customers at their grand openings and other special celebrations.
A special thanks to High Associates, Ltd. We never know what you will ask us to coat next.
Volunteer/Non-profit organizations
We are especially proud of the projects which help out fire departments and animal rescues. Regardless of whether it was the apparatus bays, social halls, or kennel floors, we are thankful for the opportunity to be a small part of "how you do what you do".
Special thanks to Toni Duchi with Nittany Greyhounds and Fire Chief Joseph Felus with the Columbia No. 1 Fire Department.
Serving into the future
It's been a great journey so far. We look forward to many more years of serving all of our communities. Haven't received a concrete floor coating yet and not sure where to start?
