Case Study: General Restoration – South Dakota
Customer Problem
Jay Ligon from Crew contacted us regarding an old commercial building located next to a bar in South Dakota. The structure was partially demolished, with a specific need to remove the roof while preserving a shared wall with the adjacent building. Jay expressed concerns about the complexity of the project due to co-ownership of the wall, which required careful handling to avoid damaging the neighboring property. The urgency was compounded by his need to travel from Maine to oversee the project, highlighting the logistical challenges involved. Additionally, the building’s location was remote, making it difficult to access local contractors for immediate assistance.
How Crew Responded
Crew Restoration promptly assessed the situation using available tools such as Google Maps to understand the site layout. Despite the remote location, which presented logistical challenges, our team committed to providing an accurate estimate without an initial site visit. We engaged in a detailed conversation with Jay to clarify the scope of work, ensuring that we understood his requirements for removing the roof and preserving the integrity of the shared wall. Our professional approach reassured Jay that the project could be managed effectively, even from a distance. The team focused on delivering a solution that aligned with the town’s regulations and Jay’s specific needs.
