2024-10-07T18:56:28-04:00October 7th, 2024|Tags: , , , , , |

The Paramedics of Property Damage Equip America’s Teachers with Donated Classroom Essentials, Empowering Educators to Inspire and Educate the Next Generation

TAMARAC, Fla. — PuroClean, one of the country’s leading property restoration and remediation franchises, recently concluded its summer campaign, PuroClean Cares™: Adopt A Classroom, to show its appreciation for educators across the country. Franchise Owners all over America, from Hawaii to New York, banded together to mobilize their local communities in identifying and awarding hard-working, passionate educators.

The campaign kicked off in May in recognition of National Teacher Appreciation Week and concluded with the start of the school year. Education Week estimates that most school teachers will spend a significant amount of out-of-pocket money on classroom supplies, averaging $673 per year per teacher. The PuroClean Cares™: Adopt A Classroom campaign aims to relieve some of these financial burdens by supporting teachers who give back to their students every single day.

“Our teachers need help. Supporting educators isn’t just a one-time act of gratitude; it’s a direct investment in our children and the future leaders of our communities,” said Steve White, President and COO of PuroClean. “We are dedicated to serving our communities every day, so giving back to our schools just comes natural.”

The efforts to support and uplift local educators resulted in a nationwide show of gratitude, not only with participation from PuroClean Franchise Owners but also collaboration within their entire teams, led by their Business Development Representatives (BDRs). Standout efforts include:

  • Kimberly and Greg Arianoff, PuroClean of The Big Island (Hilo, Hawaii) – These Hawaii-based Franchise Owners partnered with St. Joseph School to adopt two sports teams for a year-long support campaign. PuroClean of The Big Island will be supporting an air riflery team in the fall and a canoe paddling team in the winter.
  • Charles and Sharon Atkins, PuroClean of Cleveland, Tennessee – PuroClean has partnered with Mrs. Renee Platero, a dedicated second-grade teacher at Charleston Elementary STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) Academy. This campaign will span the entire length of the school year to ensure that these young minds practicing STEAM have the tools they need to learn and succeed.
  • U.L. and Audra Armstrong, PuroClean of Boerne, Texas – The Armstrongs are running a year-long campaign for educators and students in Boerne. The collected school supplies will be delivered to Canyon High School, Long Creek High School, and Boerne ISD regularly, directly impacting the lives of countless students.
  • Rick Van DykeDennis O’Brien, and Brett Dalrymple, PuroClean of Springfield, Virginia – The team in Springfield selected five deserving teachers who were awarded prizes of $2,500 at Warrenton’s First Friday Festival in August. The winning local educators were Cathleen BeachboardKrista PooleMelissa BuddAshley Corvin, and Stephanie Staats.
  • Ben Doebler, PuroClean of Hillsboro, Oregon – PuroClean of Hillsboro teamed up with LOCAL Plumbing Co. and IREM Oregon-Columbia River Chapter for an incredible book drive fundraiser benefiting the SMART Reading program in Portland. They also partnered with Youth Villages for the Backpack Heroes Drive, donating backpacks filled with school supplies.
  • Catherine and Phil Peters, PuroClean of Chardon, Ohio – These Franchise Owners fulfilled a school supply list for Ms. Sarah McComas’ second-grade class at Ledgeview Elementary in Macedonia.
  • Ivan Oliver, PuroClean of San Antonio, Texas – Partnered with Christian Assistance Ministry for their school drive. Oliver “adopted” 10 students and bought them backpacks and school supplies to start the school year strong.
  • Andrew RankelJonathan Beever, and Shawn McDermottNew York – The PuroClean team in Kingston, NY, partnered with the Ulster County Board of Realtors and other local businesses to participate in “Operation Backpack,” which helps children experiencing homelessness, poverty, or other underprivileged circumstances.

In Tamarac and greater South Florida, PuroClean’s Home Office partnered with the Tamarac North Lauderdale Chamber of Commerce, as well as local businesses, Bright Pink Agency, and Allegra/Image 360 Pompano Beach, to help provide classroom supplies for Ms. Kay Thomas, a middle school teacher at South Florida’s Millennium 6–12 Collegiate Academy, known for her exemplary work as an educator. Ms. Thomas also teaches a STEAM curriculum, inspiring creativity and innovation in her students, who are particularly drawn to robotics and AI. The standout efforts of PuroClean Franchise Owners Carlos & Maria Niemes from PuroClean of Fort Lauderdale and Joaquin Seminario from PuroClean of Deerfield Beach also played a crucial role in this initiative, going above and beyond to support local education and exemplifying the heart of PuroClean’s commitment to community service.

“By supporting educators like Ms. Thomas through this campaign, we’re not just helping her; we’re uplifting the young minds of tomorrow,” said Alex Pericchi, VP of Marketing and Online Learning. “I have a personal passion for hands-on learning, like that in a STEAM classroom environment, so I was thrilled that we were able to uplift such a meaningful program. For the students in our communities to succeed, we need to ensure our educators have the tools they need to get the job done. This initiative is PuroClean’s way of saying that we see our teachers, appreciate them, and want to help them continue making a difference. Ms. Thomas’s story is just one of many that we have been able to celebrate through our campaign across the country.”

PuroClean Joins National Veteran Business Development Council as Corporate Member, Launches Initiative to Support Veteran Business Owners

2024-08-29T19:02:59-04:00August 29th, 2024|Tags: , , , , , |

TAMARAC, Fla. — PuroClean, a leader in the disaster restoration services industry, proudly announces its new corporate membership with the National Veteran Business Development Council (NVBDC). This strategic partnership underscores PuroClean’s commitment to supporting veteran business owners and promoting opportunities in the rapidly growing disaster restoration industry.

Through this collaboration, PuroClean aims to increase awareness among veteran entrepreneurs about the lucrative and essential services provided within the disaster restoration sector. As part of this initiative, PuroClean is excited to introduce the PuroVet program, designed specifically to empower veterans transitioning into business ownership.

Veterans who choose to franchise with PuroClean will benefit from a substantial 25% discount on their franchising fee, offered under the PuroVet program. This discount is a gesture of gratitude and recognition of the skills, discipline, and leadership qualities that veterans bring to the table—qualities that are invaluable in the restoration industry.

This initiative is spearheaded by Frank Torre, a passionate advocate for veterans and a descendant of a proud military family. Torre’s father was a U.S. Marine during World War II, serving with distinction in the elite Carlson’s Raiders unit. His dedication to supporting veteran business ownership is deeply personal and driven by his family’s legacy of service.

“We are honored to join forces with the NVBDC and to support our nation’s heroes as they transition into successful business ownership,” said Frank Torre. “The PuroVet program is our way of giving back to those who have given so much to our country. We believe that veterans, with their unparalleled work ethic and commitment to excellence, are uniquely positioned to thrive in the disaster restoration industry.”

Retired US Marine Colonel Gerhard, a long-time friend of Frank Torre, expressed his support for the initiative, saying, “Having known Frank for many years, I can attest to his deep commitment to supporting our nation’s veterans. Veterans possess a unique set of skills and experiences that make them ideal candidates for entrepreneurship. PuroClean’s PuroVet program is an exceptional opportunity for our veterans to leverage those strengths in a field that values leadership, resilience, and dedication. It’s inspiring to see Frank and PuroClean not only recognizing these qualities but also actively supporting our veterans as they transition to civilian life.”

The NVBDC is the leading third-party certification organization that ensures credible documentation of veteran status, ownership, and control. By becoming a corporate member, PuroClean is furthering its mission to provide meaningful opportunities for veterans and to strengthen the veteran business community.

General Dick Miller, President of the National Veteran Business Development Council (NVBDC), added his endorsement of the initiative, saying, “The PuroVet program is a shining example of how corporate America can play a pivotal role in empowering our veterans. Frank Torre and PuroClean are setting a standard for what it means to truly support those who have served our country. By offering veterans a significant discount on franchising fees and opening doors in the disaster restoration industry, they are not just providing opportunities—they are building a foundation for long-term success. We are proud to have PuroClean as part of the NVBDC family.”

Veteran business owners interested in learning more about the PuroVet program and the opportunities within the disaster restoration industry are encouraged to visit PuroClean’s website or contact their local PuroClean representative.

Keith King, Founder and CEO of the National Veteran Business Development Council (NVBDC), also praised the initiative, stating, “We are thrilled to welcome PuroClean as a corporate member of NVBDC, their participation exemplifies the growing recognition among top companies of the value that veteran-owned businesses bring to the table. We look forward to a strong and mutually beneficial partnership with PuroClean as we continue to open doors for veterans in business.”

The Paramedics of Property Damage Recognize Chris Schatz at the Annual Convention for Continued Success and Contributions to the PuroClean Franchise

BROOMFIELD, Colo. — PuroClean, one of the country’s leading property restoration and remediation franchises, is thrilled to announce that local entrepreneur Chris Schatz, owner of PuroClean of Broomfield, received the coveted PuroClean On the Move Award at the International PuroClean Convention. With nearly 500 franchise locations across North America, Chris was awarded by the PuroClean Home Office for being someone who has gone above and beyond to achieve success within the network while also dedicating himself to the success of others and his community.

“I’m speechless for the first time in my entire life,” said Chris Schatz, Owner of PuroClean of Broomfield. “Some of you guys came to my shop the other night and experienced what I’ve built over the past four years. PuroClean is where my heart is at. PuroClean is where I want to be in the future, where I want to leave my legacy. I want to thank my brother, GM, operation manager, wife, and everyone who has helped me get to this point. There are too many people to thank but I appreciate everyone. Thank you.”

The On the Move Award celebrates exceptional Franchise Owners within the PuroClean network who embody the brand’s core pillars: servant leadership, active collaboration, and extreme ownership. Since acquiring his PuroClean business in April 2020, Schatz has exemplified the drive and commitment necessary to succeed with this World Class Brand.

Schatz, a multi-unit franchisee and two-time President Circle recipient, began his career as an EMT before transitioning to the oil and gas industry. His journey into the restoration industry ignited a passion for handling large losses and serving prominent vendors in the field. After refining his skills as an operations manager at another restoration company, Schatz spent three years at a major restoration firm. His path ultimately led him to PuroClean, where he became a part owner after initially owning one franchise and later acquiring three more. Schatz values creating a family atmosphere and collaborating with like-minded individuals, emphasizing respect for employees guided by the principle of treating others as you wish to be treated. Family-oriented, Schatz has involved his brother in his business to support its growth.

Schatz’s ambition extends beyond his personal success; he is deeply committed to assisting others, has generously offered his time to travel and aid other owners, and has mentored several struggling locations. As evident by his offices’ upward trajectory, Schatz has been recognized back-to-back as a 2022 and 2023 President’s Circle member.

“Nominated by the PuroClean Home Office and selected by the Executive Team, I am proud to present this award to Chris Schatz,” said PuroClean President and COO Steve White. “We do not present this award every year—it is reserved for those who truly exemplify the drive and commitment needed to get their office On the Move. Chris and his team are exemplary representatives of this dedication, and we are all very proud to see him succeed and earn our On the Move Award.”

For over 20 years, PuroClean has helped home and business owners with their restoration and remediation needs, serving communities across the United States and Canada with a network nearing 500 offices. The brand is additionally seeking the right individuals who may be in construction and looking to add a restoration component to their business.

PuroClean of Morristown Named Franchise of the Year

2024-06-25T15:55:27-04:00June 25th, 2024|Tags: , , , , , |

Local New Jersey Business Named Top-Performing North American Franchise at 2024 Annual PuroClean Owner’s Convention

MORRISTOWN, N.J. — PuroClean, one of the country’s leading property restoration and remediation franchises, has announced its 2023 Franchise of the Year. Nelson and Sujey Rivera, owners of PuroClean of Morristown, were named the PuroClean Franchise of the Year at the company’s Annual International Convention. Selected from nearly 500 franchise locations across North America, PuroClean of Morristown was recognized for receiving outstanding scores across several categories, including sales growth, market share, sales revenue, and profitability, among others.

The Riveras, who co-own and operate PuroClean of MorristownLivingston, and Bloomfield, exemplify PuroClean’s commitment to helping New Jersey residents and their properties recover from the unthinkable when disaster strikes.

As the third of 12 children, the father of two young daughters, and a decorated firefighter, Nelson knows the importance of being there for community members in their darkest hours. Currently the Deputy Fire Chief in Orange, NJ, he has earned multiple awards for his bravery and dedication to service, including the City of Orange Chamber of Commerce Valor Award, New Jersey State Firemen’s Mutual Benevolent Association Award for Valor, and the American Red Cross Hero Award.

“There can only be one Franchise of the Year, and with so many wonderful franchise owners, it’s always a tight competition,” said Steve White, President and COO of PuroClean. “As both a PuroClean Franchise Owner and an active firefighter, Nelson Rivera has worked tirelessly to put out both literal and figurative fires, putting his life on the line for others while expecting nothing in return. He has seen and helped people through their worst days, whether it be water, storm, mold, or fire damage. Nelson and Sujey exemplify what it means to be a true Paramedic of Property Damage—everyone should take a page or two out of the Rivera family’s book.”

Nelson has been a resident of Essex County since 1999, when his family made the move to Newark. He later relocated to Orange, where he began serving as a firefighter in 2009 and still serves to this day as the Deputy Fire Chief. Nelson’s journey with PuroClean began as a technician, and it was through working with the owner of PuroClean Livingston that he discovered his passion for the business.

In 2017, Nelson, along with his co-owner and wife, Sujey, moved to Livingston to be closer to the business. Soon afterward, the duo opened their first PuroClean franchise in Morristown, later expanding to Bloomfield and then Livingston, where Nelson first got his start. Nelson still serves as a chief in the Orange Fire Department, running the business when not on duty. Now, with a total of five locations – four of which are in New Jersey – his franchise serves all of Essex County and nearby areas. Recently, he expanded into Oregon in partnership with two other PuroClean franchise owners.

“We’re so honored. All I have to say is that, honestly, in the almost five years that we’ve been here, it’s been such an incredible experience. Nelson is such a hardworking person, and he’s so deserving,” Sujey said. “I want to give so many thanks to the corporate team. What we continue to do is never enough; we always want to try to be better. I appreciate all the support of everyone, [who] from the beginning, has always just shown so much love and support. We’re here because of all of you. So, thank you.”

PuroClean is one of the leading restoration franchise companies in the United States. Each year, the brand performs thousands of jobs throughout North America, providing restoration services for everything from common household mishaps to large-scale disasters.

The Paramedics of Property Damage Team Up for Nationwide Teacher Supplies Drive

TAMARAC, Fla. — PuroClean, one of the country’s leading property restoration and remediation franchises, has unveiled its summer campaign, Adopt-a-Classroom, to show its appreciation for educators. Franchisees across the country and the home office team in South Florida will collect donations for teachers. The campaign will start on May 6 across the country in recognition of National Teacher Appreciation Week and will continue throughout the summer. The donations will be presented to teachers across America in August.

Multiple surveys, including one by the U.S. Department of Education, show that 94 percent of teachers pay for classroom necessities with money from their own pockets. PuroClean’s Adopt-a-Classroom Campaign aims to give back to the people who give back to students year-round.

“It is hard to find the right words to convey how crucial teachers and educators are in our communities. They do some of the most important work in the world for our children,” Alex Pericchi, Vice President of Marketing and Online Learning, said. “It is the duty and mission of our entire network to showcase to teachers that we see their hard work and value them. We want to show them that PuroClean cares.”

Throughout the summer, PuroClean offices across the country are accepting teacher supplies such as:

  • Binders
  • Electric pencil sharpeners
  • Dry-erase boards
  • Markers
  • Scissors
  • Glue
  • Paper

Donations can be dropped off in designated boxes at participating PuroClean locations and will be given to the local school or teacher that the franchisee has chosen to recognize.

“Supporting educators isn’t just a one-time act of gratitude; it’s a direct investment in our children and the future leaders of our communities,” said Steve White, President and COO of PuroClean. “The most important mission for PuroClean is to serve our communities and invest in the people who invested in us. Service and giving back are the values that this company was founded on. Everyone at PuroClean has a part to play.”

For more than 20 years, PuroClean has helped home and business owners with their restoration and remediation needs, serving communities across the United States and Canada with a network nearing 500 offices.
