If you live in Charlotte, Concord, Mooresville, or Waxhaw North Carolina and/or the surrounding counties around Mecklenburg, Cabarrus, Iredell and/or Union Counties, and are looking for an Independent consultant to help you with your foundation repair, structural wood, waterproofing and/or crawl space moisture challenges on your home we would like to volunteer to help. Over the last several years, it has been my goal to offer cost efficient solutions to my customers by utilizing small, local independent professionals in my network that are not affiliated with franchisees.

Over the last 20 years there has been a huge effort from the manufacturing sector to dominate and control the foundation repair, waterproofing, and crawl space moisture control industries by forming franchisee networks in the main population centers of the United States. Some of the larger states may have 4 to 5 dealer/operators in a relatively close proximity to one another in order to saturate the market with that particular product. The manufacturer will often support that operator or operators by flooding marketing resources and leads into that particular market with multifaceted marketing campaigns. On the surface, these companies may look impressive as they have large call centers, fancy websites, and large commission based sales teams that are utilized in an effort to control that local market. Unfortunately, since there is a one-size-fits-all mentality with these companies, and salespeople are compensated by commission, consumers are often misled, misdiagnosed, and/or overcharged for a protocol that is often over designed, embellished, and/or completely unnecessary to resolve the problem reported. Here are few disadvantages of using franchisees:

• Franchisees must pay royalties to the manufacturer, and this cost gets passed on to the consumer.
• Manufacturing centers may be hundreds or thousands of miles away from your market so materials come from a long way. The shipping costs get passed down to the franchisee, and therefore passed on to the consumer.
• The manufacturer may not be offering the right application and means for your particular problem because they have no knowledge or understanding of the problems homeowners face in this market.
• Call centers are often poorly trained. Operators have never performed a home inspection so they dont understand the problems that people report so they dispense canned responses that are wrong and dont make sense.
• Franchisees experience high turnover rates in the production teams. This means crews are often poorly trained. The quality of the work can be sub-standard to the actual expectations made by the sales person during the developmental stage of the project. Job Formans' are often paid with production based compensation. This encourages sloppy workmanship as they race to get finished ahead of schedule to achieve production bonuses.
• Commission based sales people receive a 10 to 15% sales commission off of the total cost of the job before boots hit the ground.
• Commission based sales people are often poorly trained with very little knowledge of construction or home building. They are hired because they are good salespeople. Not good consultants.
• The very nature of commission based sales puts the salesman in a precarious position ethically, as they are motivated to oversell the job in order to achieve a healthy commission. This structure breeds corruption, and disingenuous behavior by the salesperson and the franchisee.
• Franchisees and commission based sales people often ignore state and local building code requirements causing homeowners to have huge problems at the point of resale. Often engineering documentation, permitting and/or independent inspections is required for these types of repairs.

These are just a few of the many challenges that you may face if you consult with a company that is dominated by manufacturer/franchisee relationship. The good news is there are qualified local companies that can be utilized for these types of repairs that are completely independent from the franchisee racket. Over the last several years I have developed a tight network of local professionals that can be utilized to help you solve your crawl space challenges without manufacturer / franchisee manipulation. All of these companies utilize local products and services saving our clients thousands of dollars on the repairs. Most importantly, our consulting services are FREE in most cases. Certain real estate transactions my require a small consultation fee.
