Apartment owners spend a lot of money replacing carpet and vinyl flooring
in apartments. The problem is due to many factors including bad tenants, high
tenant turnover, low-quality flooring materials, pet damage, improper
installation procedures and water damage. Until now, landlords could do little
or nothing to prevent most of these problems from happening.
Now, Apartment owners have an opportunity to significantly reduce these
problems and save as much as 25% or more on carpet and
vinyl flooring replacement costs, according to Alan J. Fletcher, president of
Accurate Flooring Management Inc., in Portland, Oregon, developer of The
CFM Solution.
"I have developed dozens of simple and effective ways that can and
will prevent common flooring damage from occurring. It's not rocket science
and it's really easy to implement. I don't know why this is not standard
procedure with all landlords everywhere. This simple aspect of my CFM Solution
alone can save landlords thousands every year. Also, when replacing floor coverings in rental units, most landlords
often end up
paying way more than necessary for materials and labor, and often have
flooring materials installed improperly, which dramatically reduces the
longevity of any flooring product" says Fletcher.
Fletcher continues, "Landlords are
seldom advised of all their flooring options, and there are many, many which could
potentially save them a bundle over the course of a year and every year after
that. "The CFM Solution changes everything. We address every
aspect of the customers flooring needs. With my Comprehensive Flooring
Management Solution in place, apartment owners and managers can rest assured knowing that they
have exercised complete control of all important and critical aspects of their
flooring replacement and repair
procedures. It is simple to implement, easy to manage and the savings are
impressive".
"The trick to saving a lot of money on flooring replacements is knowing how and where to cut costs without sacrificing quality.
With my experience, I know how and where to make these cuts, and to make sure landlords get
quality materials and the professional workmanship they deserve while reducing
costs and strategically eliminating material
waste", said Fletcher.
"A typical apartment owner with just 300 units should be saving $5,000 or more each
and every year by implementing my Comprehensive Flooring Management
Solution. The more units you have, the greater the savings potential" Fletcher says.
The CFM Solution claims to address every aspect of flooring replacement including
material selection, proper care, maintenance, and repair procedures.
It also claims to ensure full accountability from flooring retailers, flooring
vendors, flooring
installers, and can include specialized training for onsite apartment maintenance personnel.
With more than 30 years in the flooring business, Fletcher reveals that
for years he has worked with hundreds of apartment owners that until now have had little
or no control over their flooring replacement costs. He developed the CFM
Solution to put the power and control back into the hands of the property
owner or manager.
"It is the only sure-fire way for landlords to get their full monies
worth," Fletcher stated.
"When it comes to recurring expenditures like carpet and vinyl
flooring replacements, landlords often take the advice of those who are
selling the products they need. Apartment owners need to utilize the advice and experience of an independent
expert in the field, someone who will have their best interests in mind. I
believe I have the only company to offer this type of service" said
Fletcher.
According to Fletcher, the program also reduces apartment turnover time allowing
units to be rented faster. "My unique flooring strategies are quick to implement, easy
to use, and the savings far outweigh the cost of implementing the
program. Sure, I claim to be able to save my clients a sizeable amount of
money, but if I can't do that, then I don't charge a dime, so there is
absolutely no risk!" says Fletcher.
"I am confident that The CFM Solution will ultimately become the new
industry standard and forever change the way apartment flooring replacements
are handled. It's time to put control back into the hands of the
property owner" said Fletcher.
