Many CSRA Home Connections Preferred Providers are experiencing super-heavy workloads in the aftermath of Augusta, Georgia's worst ice storm in recent memory.
Evans, GA (PRWEB) March 24, 2014
In the aftermath of “Winter Storm Pax,” CSRA Home Connections is seeing more work than they’ve ever experienced. February, normally a slow month for the business, had Preferred Providers extremely busy, trying to return everything to normal, which they are still working to do.
It has been over six weeks now, but February 12, 2014 is a date that will live in infamy in the minds of thousands of Augusta, Georgia residents and business owners. That's the day that "Winter Storm PAX" roared into town with about two inches of relentless sleet, snow and freezing rain that crippled the second-oldest city in Georgia.
The old saying, “One man's feast is another man's famine,” is ringing true for many of CSRA Home Connections’ Preferred Providers as they deal with the stress, cost and aggravation of local residents trying to return to normal. They are experiencing a larger workload than ever before, especially at this time of year.
Century 21 Larry Miller Realty’s Property Management Division quadrupled its repair business in the months of February and March. They have used almost all of the CSRA Home Connections Preferred Providers to take care of the repairs of the 400+ rental properties that Century 21 Larry Miller Realty manages.
“Like us, they were all very busy, but they all were able and willing to come out and do the estimates we requested and fix the damages and do the repairs at very reasonable prices and in a timely manner. Even though they were all working 24/7 for those few weeks, and even now, they never lost any of the quality and professionalism that they portray in their business year-round,” said Bobbie Kulhke and Jennifer Wright, representatives of Century 21 Larry Miller Realty’s Property Management Division.
The Preferred Providers used most were All South Siding; Roofing and Windows; Clean N Brite; Mitts Landscaping; Big Dog Stump & Tree; Tom Cely, Inc.; The Drain Surgeon and Green Harvest Lawn Care. Most of the issues that arose because of the ice storm were roof damages, lawn clean-up and repairs, general maintenance and even some HVAC services, due to the cold weather.
“Even a month after the storm, we are still getting lots of calls for repairs, and some of our Preferred Providers are five to six weeks out for an estimate because they are trying to catch up,” said Kulhke and Wright. “They worked around the clock for us, and we are all very appreciative.”
