How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
We designed commercial playground for 15 years. No one was maintaining the beautiful playground that we designed and built so we started our Inspection and Maintenance business. We educated the Parks, School Districts and Day Cares in the Tri-State Region about the value of maintaining their playgrounds so they would be safe for the children that used them.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
We are experts in our field. All of our personnel are Certified Playground Inspectors. We carry "playground insurance". Other contractors are not insured for Playgrounds. Many business are starting to do playground inspections. Just because you pass the NPSI course doesn't mean you know how to inspect a playground. We have had many years of experience and we do periodic seminars for our inspectors to be sure they know what they are doing and don't miss anything.
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
One location in Hawthorne, NY. Hope to expand in the future setting up satallite offices in other states.
