Our ObjectiveOwners are more organized, reducing future costs and enhancing building appeal, condition and value. Contractors are open to an opportunity in building long term relationships while helping their customers attain higher operating pro�ts, ultimately to achieve future success.
What We DoThe Contractor Biographies organizational structure has been created to help these end users �nd better contractors. The contractors within this resource have been selected and studied through a series of avenues and criteria to be chosen as a premier provider, from a pool of top local companies. Detailed information is then collected for the chosen contractor of each trade and becomes part of the local portfolio.
Our no-obligation maintenance system assists managers with their future planning, staying connected with engineers when necessary to asses more in depth capital projects. Contractor Biographies schedules a free maintenance planning package that will have a seal of approval from a reputable engineering company if required (for a fee), but more importantly, managers have a system in place prioritizing and implementing their speci�c maintenance strategy.
Contractor Biographies personnel can suggest options and ideas for future maintenance and will connect end users with historically reputable contractors. We provide free quotes to help better outline costs for future budgeting of capital projects and maintenance dollars. As well as this free service, Contractor Biographies supplies free organizational tools to these manag-ers to help track their ongoing projects. These tools include: calendars, desk organizers, erasable job tracking charts and free in-depth contractor portfolios.
It is our job to simplify the decision maker’s daily operations, broadening their understanding in regards to the condition of their properties and introducing them to reputable companies with new concepts in their industry.

never do. Plus, he didn’t try and tack on other treatments which I don’t feel I want. He was polite, quick, informative and
thoroughly professional. I’ll call Genesis again.” - B. Forst, Richmond, June 2007
