After catastrophic fire, homeowners have treasured collection restored by 1-800-Packouts of Southeast Massachusetts

2025-05-28T21:07:36-04:00May 28th, 2025|Tags: , , |

Leading contents restoration company helps rehabilitate irreplaceable heirlooms, allowing family to preserve cherished memories

WAREHAM, Mass. — Housefires and other calamitous events can result in untold damage to personal property—including assets of enormous financial value as well as those with outsized sentimental worth. For one Massachusetts couple, a housefire resulted not just in structural damage but in a cherished collection of ceramic figurines becoming compromised by soot and smoke. Though the collection initially seemed irredeemable, it was salvaged and given second life when the couple enlisted the services of 1-800-Packouts of Southeast Massachusetts.

The incident involved a couple from the Wareham area, whose house unexpectedly caught fire one night. For more than 40 years, the couple had amassed a huge collection of delicate ceramic figures, including a full ceramic Christmas village — each item in their set a cherished gift from a child, grandchild or close friend. These priceless treasures—and the memories attached to them—were initially thought to be lost to fire and smoke.

“These items weren’t just holiday decorations, they were symbols of love and time spent through the years,” said Angie Celia, who co-owns the franchise with her husband, Joe. “When we received the ceramic figures, they smelled of smoke and were discolored by soot. We knew our mission wasn’t just to clean the items, but to preserve the memories attached to them.”

After removing the items to an external facility — preventing further infusion of smoke and soot — the 1-800-Packouts team began the process of inventorying the items, cleaning them and deodorizing them — ultimately taking items thought to be permanently ruined and restoring them to like-new condition.

“Memories matter, and following a fire or other catastrophe, that’s often what people most want to salvage and restore,” Joe Celia said. “We are grateful to play a part in that, and to be a source of comfort for homeowners experiencing crises.”

Ideal Siding Urges Homeowners to Get Storm-Ready as 2025 Hurricane Season Begins

2025-05-28T20:48:44-04:00May 28th, 2025|Tags: , , |

Key Mistakes to Avoid and How to Protect Your Home Before the Storm Hits

VANCOUVER, BC — With hurricane season officially underway, Ideal SidingNorth America’s largest siding renovation company, urges homeowners in storm-prone regions to take a hard look at their home’s exterior before the next major storm hits.

“Most people don’t think about their siding until a storm causes major damage,” said Alex Filipuk, Founder and CEO of Ideal Siding. “But siding is your home’s first line of defense. Small issues like cracks, loose panels, or failed caulking that seem harmless now can become major entry points for wind and water during a hurricane.”

Key Mistakes That Leave Homes Vulnerable
The most common siding-related mistakes during hurricane season include:

  • Skipping pre-storm inspections: Problems like cracked panels, warped boards, or loose siding may go unnoticed until they fail under pressure. Even minor imperfections can quickly escalate when exposed to hurricane-force winds and driving rain.
  • Ignoring seals and caulking: Weak spots around windows, doors, and trim are prone to water intrusion. Over time, this can lead to mold, rot, and structural damage, so pay close attention to areas where siding meets other surfaces.
  • Neglecting yard maintenance: Tree limbs and loose debris can cause serious damage to your home when winds pick up. Regularly trim trees and shrubs, secure outdoor items, and clear gutters and downspouts to minimize potential hazards and reduce the risk of impact damage during storms.

Best Practices for Siding Prep
At a minimum, homeowners should inspect their siding twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall. In areas that are prone to hurricanes or heavy storms, it is smart to check before the start of hurricane season and again after any major weather event.

A quick walk-around inspection can help spot early signs of damage, like soft spots, bubbling paint, or siding pulling away from the home. Catching these early makes repairs easier and prevents bigger issues down the road.

“If a full siding replacement isn’t realistic, focus on high-risk areas,” said Filipuk. “Start with the most storm-exposed sections, especially the south and west sides of the home. Even reinforcing trim, corners, and moisture barriers can make a big difference.”

What Siding Materials Work Best in Storm Zones
Fiber cement siding is recommended for areas frequently impacted by hurricanes. Its strength, fire resistance, and ability to withstand high winds make it a reliable choice. Engineered wood can also perform well with proper installation and maintenance.

In contrast, traditional wood siding can absorb moisture and deteriorate quickly, while low-grade vinyl is more likely to detach or crack in high winds. If those materials are already installed, reinforcement or targeted upgrades may help reduce risk.

Regional Expertise Matters
Siding performance depends heavily on local weather patterns. In coastal areas vulnerable to hurricanes, extra attention should be given to storm-resistant fasteners and water barriers. In colder regions, materials should be selected for their ability to handle freeze-thaw cycles and insulate effectively.

“Understanding your region’s specific weather risks is key,” said Filipuk. “Storm season looks different depending on where you live, and siding should be part of that conversation.”

Rethinking the Resume: 87% of Job Seekers Want Skills to Matter More Than Degrees

2025-05-28T20:41:09-04:00May 28th, 2025|Tags: , , , |

New Survey Reveals Most Candidates Favor Skills-Based Hiring—And 89% Say They’d Stay Longer at Companies That Invest in Training

OKLAHOMA CITY — Forget the skills gap — job seekers say it’s a training gap. According to a recent Express Employment Professionals-Harris Poll survey, 79% of U.S. job seekers believe companies are passing over capable candidates because they’re unwilling to train them. And with 87% calling for skills-based hiring over degrees, many are pushing back on outdated job requirements that may be doing more harm than good.

While hiring managers continue to cite a widening skills gap, most job seekers disagree. Instead, they call on employers to be more realistic about qualifications and more willing to invest in training. And they’re not just voicing frustration, they’re ready to stay loyal to companies that meet them halfway.

Job seekers across all age groups agree that certain core skills are essential in today’s workforce. Communication, work ethic, problem-solving, accountability and general demeanor all rank highly in importance, with more than 80% of job seekers citing them as critical when applying for a position. Slightly fewer consider technical skills (71%) and cultural fit (69%) as top priorities, suggesting a greater emphasis on soft skills.

At the same time, a significant number of job seekers believe employers are setting unrealistic standards that overlook capable candidates. Many feel that companies should reconsider rigid qualification lists and focus instead on potential and willingness to learn:

  • 79% of job seekers say the “skills gap” is less about a lack of ability and more about employers’ unwillingness to train.
  • 87% believe companies should prioritize skills-based hiring over requiring formal degrees.
  • 74% think employers should be willing to forgo some job requirements to find the right person.

Generational differences are also evident. Younger candidates, particularly Gen Z and millennials, are much more likely to believe that company requirements are too strict:

  • 77% of millennials and 71% of Gen Z say requirements are too stringent, compared to 53% of Boomers/Seniors.
  • Similarly, 71% of Gen Z, millennials, and Gen X wish companies would waive education requirements, while only 55% of Boomers/Seniors agree.

On the employer side, the tension is apparent. Nearly 7 in 10 hiring managers (69%) say the skills gap is wider than ever, even though 84% believe their company has the resources to close it. Still, many employers are beginning to adapt.

Eighty-three percent of hiring managers report their company has waived some job requirements to fill open roles, including:

  • Years of experience (47%)
  • Educational degrees (34%)
  • Soft skills (34%)
  • Hard skills (29%)
  • Professional certifications (28%)

Furthermore, 60% say their company is willing to make exceptions to job requirements in some instances, and 69% are open to waiving degree requirements. However, challenges persist as 35% admit they don’t know how to assess certifications or online degrees, which may discourage their adoption.

“In today’s evolving labor market, adaptability is increasingly recognized as a critical asset by both employers and job seekers,” said Express CEO Bob Funk, Jr. “Many business leaders are finding that while priorities may differ, there’s common ground in practical strategies, such as flexible qualifications and onboarding programs focused on long-term growth. These approaches help bridge gaps in expectations while maintaining the high standards that drive sustainable success.”

Survey Methodology
The Job Insights survey was conducted online within the United States by The Harris Poll on behalf of Express Employment Professionals from Nov. 11 to 26, 2024, among 1,001 U.S. hiring decision-makers.

The Job Seeker Report was conducted online within the United States by The Harris Poll on behalf of Express Employment Professionals from Nov. 21 to Dec. 10, 2024, among 1,039 adults ages 18 and older.

Grasons Helps Families Honor Military Memorabilia and Americana This Memorial Day

2025-05-23T18:03:45-04:00May 23rd, 2025|Tags: , , |

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — As Memorial Day approaches, families across the country take time to reflect on the sacrifices of those who served in the U.S. Armed Forces. Many also rediscover military memorabilia and cherished Americana items tucked away in attics, basements, or family estates. Grasons, the nation’s leading estate sale and business liquidation franchise, helps families bring these historic artifacts to light by ensuring they are properly valued and appreciated during estate sales.

Estate sales often feature military uniforms, medals, letters, flags, and historic documents that tell stories of courage and patriotism. Additionally, classic Americana, such as vintage signage, political memorabilia, and mid-century patriotic décor, evokes nostalgia and celebrates American history.

“Memorial Day is a time of remembrance, and many families uncover treasured pieces of military history when organizing a loved one’s estate,” said Craig TylerBrand Leader of Grasons. “We take great pride in presenting these unique items at estate sales, ensuring they find new homes where they will be respected and preserved.”

Rather than leaving military memorabilia packed away or forgotten, estate sales offer an opportunity to showcase these items, allowing collectors, history enthusiasts, and those with a deep appreciation for military service to give them a second life. World War II medals, Vietnam War patches, antique recruitment posters, and other historic pieces often attract those who understand their significance and wish to honor their legacy.

As families prepare for Memorial Day gatherings, Grasons encourages them to recognize the importance of preserving the American spirit through historical artifacts and collectibles. Whether passing down a cherished heirloom or finding the right buyer who values its history, estate sales provide a meaningful way to celebrate service and sacrifice.
