Get Ready To Network With Powerhouse In 2021

Mar 31, 2021 | 0 comments

Powerhouse is ready to get back to business with in-person events!

While the virtual events sufficed over the past year – meeting over a computer screen was not the same as having the opportunity to chat face-to-face. As we reflect over the past year, it is safe to say, some of our favorite sayings would have to be…

     Please mute yourself… (We hear your dog greeting the UPS delivery person.)

     Please take yourself off of mute. We cannot hear you.

And a Powerhouse personal favorite…

      Are you wearing pajama bottoms with that shirt and tie?

Yes, it is safe to say that our Powerhouse team is thrilled to get back into routine and visit with our industry partners and friends. As we gear up for a fantastic 2021 show season, we hope to connect with you at one of the industry’s upcoming events!

A Year In Review At Powerhouse

Jan 14, 2021 | 0 comments

No doubt, 2020 was a challenging year. Which is why we wanted to take a moment to say thank you for giving us the opportunity to partner with you on your construction and facilities maintenance needs. We’re honored and felt it important to share some of our major milestones from 2020, demonstrating that through strong relationships and cooperation—our team and yours can persevere.

You may have heard us say once or twice that we focus on People, Process, and Technology. That commitment has never been truer than now, and it resulted in some major benchmarks for Powerhouse in 2020. Last year we expanded our service offerings, grew existing relationships, and onboarded new clients all while touching over 125,000 locations. This occurred even as we welcomed our newly acquired company in the banking and finance sector, Security Vault Works.

With respect to People — despite circumstances, we are proud to reveal that we were able to quickly rebound and even grew teams. From the start of the pandemic through the end of the year, we grew our headcount by 30%. We continued to elevate female leaders in our industry, most recently with the hire of our new CFO Dianna MacDonald.

Regarding Process and Technology — to ensure the effective completion of our customers’ projects, we leveraged best practices to streamline customer project support across all business lines. Smart technology dashboards provided you with what we trust was valuable insight regarding project status, inventory management, ticket status, and more.

Given Powerhouse originally built our company on essential businesses, we continued to strive forward supporting those essential businesses throughout the pandemic. We were able to empower our staff of at the time, over 650 employees to work remotely within 5 days. This orchestrated effort ensured business continuity and uninterrupted customer service. We did not miss a beat, offered unapparelled services, and we were able to exceed expectations through this challenging time.

Taking it even further, advanced solutions such as our 360° survey tool and virtual communication platforms, enabled us to meet critical mission milestones – such as installing 75,000 sneeze guards in just a few weeks – without compromising you and your teams, or COVID-19 guidelines. We expanded our capabilities and knowledge to include specific COVID-19 prevention and remediation services, certifying staff in COVID-19 response strategies through ISSA as well as partnering with Allie BioScience to position Powerhouse as the first national partner to bring SurfaceWise®2 within 2021 – the only EPA approved surface coating that protects against the virus for 90 days with a single application.

There is so much more that we were humbled by throughout 2020. But nothing is as important to our company and our values than giving back, which is why we continued to support our communities. Our employees continued to support our annual Angel Tree program. Through the Powerhouse Foundation we gifted more than 1,320 children with presents this holiday season. In lieu of holiday gifting to clients this year, we donated on your behalf to the following charities: Wounded Warriors Foundation, St. Jude Children’s Hospital Foundation, and Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.

None of this would have been possible without you. Looking forward, we are excited for the year to come, where you will again be an integral part of our continued success. We thank you for your continued partnership and wish you a healthy, safe and successful new year!

Your Powerhouse Team

Facilities Maintenance Leader Targets Virtual Conferences in Various Industries to Showcase New Services

As a national construction, facilities maintenance and rollout service provider in Crowley, Texas, we would like to share our Fall/Winter 2020 trade show participation calendar. Even though we may not be able to see everyone in-person, we are thrilled that our Powerhouse team will be readily accessible through virtual meeting sessions and other conference activities. Current commitments target various industries ranging from rental housing and senior living facilities to banks.

“Rightfully so, many expos and conferences have either gone virtual or been postponed due to the pandemic,” said Amber Alvarez, Senior Vice President of Business Development, Powerhouse. “However, industry events are invaluable environments for networking, information gathering, and—for many of our customers—annual plan development. We’re continuing to engage in many events where we can help our customers maximize their time, hopefully making their jobs a little bit easier.”

Powerhouse’s broad range of construction, interior and exterior facility maintenance, and rollout services are executed by skilled employees and trusted contractors nationwide. The company continues to add unique solutions and skillsets to its portfolio, enabling customers to consolidate their facilities management partner network and, in turn, simplify day-to-day project administration. For example, Powerhouse’s capabilities now include the surface protectant SurfaceWise2™ (one of several available COVID-19 preparedness services) as well as banking-and-finance-centric expertise gained through the integration of Security Vault Works. ™

One-of-a-Kind Coating That Kills Coronavirus for 90 Days on Surfaces

Jul 29, 2020 | 0 comments

We’re expanding our COVID-19 Facilities Maintenance Services

As a national construction, facilities maintenance and rollout service provider, we are excited to announce that we are enhancing our COVID-19 response services. This new COVID-19 service will enable Powerhouse to apply SurfaceWise®2, proven to be the first and only surface protectant to continuously remove pathogens from surfaces for 90 days with a single application.

SurfaceWise2 is patented and supplied by Allied BioScience, a Dallas-based biotech firm with a history of developing long-lasting, environmentally-friendly solutions that create safer human environments. The service is pending imminent EPA approval.

As Allied BioScience’s first national facilities application partner for this solution, Powerhouse will enable facility managers of banks, hospitals, restaurants, retail stores, offices, and more to reduce health risks posed by COVID-19 and other infectious diseases. Click here to read full press release. 

Building Public Confidence

For over 16 years, our team at Powerhouse has supported the most well-known brands within the retail, hospitality, banking and healthcare industries nationwide. Its portfolio of services has strategically evolved to include a broad range of construction, interior and exterior facility maintenance, and rollout services.

In March 2020, Powerhouse pulled from its core competencies to compile a services package designed to help customers mitigate COVID-19’s impact. These services range from barrier installations and space reconfigurations to signage fittings and hands-free fixture installs. The package also includes interior and exterior sanitization services—which offer significant benefits to the marketplace with the integration of Allied BioScience’s technology.

“Powerhouse operates with a great sense of urgency. As the pandemic hit, we felt it our duty to identify new resources and processes to help our customers stop the spread of COVID-19,” said Amber Alvarez, Senior Vice President of Business Development, Powerhouse. “Through this partnership, Powerhouse will be able to supply customers with the only proven long-lasting surface solution to viral spread. We see this as an invaluable tool that will help people regain confidence as they get back to business.”

Traditional disinfectants are reactive and momentary, killing germs after they have already contaminated a surface. SurfaceWise2 works in reverse, coating a surface to continuously kill germs upon contact for months after application. Powerhouse has acquired the product and trained its team on advanced electrostatic sprayer technologies to enable the proper, full-coverage application of the surface protectant.

Allied BioScience has worked closely with the EPA to create an entirely new category for long-lasting, continuous protection against coronaviruses in response to this emergency crisis. Their mission strongly aligned with Powerhouse’s legacy of quick-turn, high-precision rollouts.

Powerhouse is slated to launch the new service this fall. For additional information on this and other coronavirus preparedness solutions, visit Covid-19 Services.
