GAINESVILLE, FL, April 06, 2009
/24-7PressRelease/ -- With job loses hitting levels not seen for decades, there are a few that are striking it big due to the tanking economy. This is one of many stories hitting the main stream media about savvy business owners taking charge and refusing to participate in the economic downturn.
Since the housing bust has hit the state of Florida and many are losing homes due to foreclosure there is a needed service that a few contractors are taking advantage of that is able to bring in massive amounts of business. So, what is the hot market that contractors are getting into? Board up services.
With the need for banks to secure foreclosed homes from vagrants, squatters, drug dealers and even from the very people who have lost their homes, board up service has become a very important and profitable service. Crime rates continue to rise as the amount of job losses follows and local law enforcement cannot have the safety of foreclosed homes at the top of their priority list. It has become up to the banks to make sure that the repossessed homes are safe and secure until they can get past the crisis and get them sold to new owners.
The combined forces of home foreclosures and an increase in crime have caused an unlikely market that was once just used for hurricane preparation only a few weeks a year to a full time job for a few that got in on the ground floor and have built relationships with local realtors and banks.
"The calls come in everyday and we see no chance of them slowing down in the near future," states George Archer, CEO of Damage Control, Inc. The company has a history of over 6,000 successful home restorations and is one of the few contractors that has begun to profit vastly from offering board up service.
"This is usually something we get swamped with as people prepare for storms that may or may not come into our area and in the past, the work was usually short lived, at best. It's multiplied in volume several times over the past year," George says. "No one has to participate in this economic downturn as long as they have the will to find product or service that people need and just run with it. That's what we're doing and it's working."
