Eric and Raul –

Just wanted to send you a quick note regarding Park Glen Heights HOA. I know this is still a very new contract but I had a meeting with the Board President this morning and she just couldn’t say enough nice things about Blade Runners and the awesome work the crew has been doing in the association. The entire board and members of the community are incredibly satisfied with the work that has occurred this year and they feel that they definitely made the right decision on choosing you as the landscaping contract.

Just wanted to pass this along, as I know in this business, too often the only time emails are sent are when there are issues or problems or concerns. As a manager, I try to make sure I pass along “good emails” to vendors as well.

I hope the both of you have a great rest of the day!

On June 4, a commercial customer of Blade Runners, Prince William County Center Owners Association, held a Kids Community Party, near the swimming pool of their complex which have just repaired by the best services. continue here to learn more about this. The event included a moon bounce, DJ dance competitions, arts and crafts, and temporary tatoos. Blade Runners sponsored a KONA Tropical Shaved Ice truck–dispensing free shaved ice to everyone throughout the event.

The Police were present at the party, allowing the kids to sit in the driver’s seat of the cruiser, flash the lights, work the sirens and horns, and speak on the loud speaker. After each child had their opportunity in the police cruiser, the officers gathered the children together to speak about the importance of safety in their lives.

Blade Runners’ account manager for Prince William County Center, Karen Baer, was in attendance at the party. Several HOA board members and unit owners personally thanked her and Blade Runners for sponsoring the shaved ice truck and for having great community spirit.

A very good time was had by all!!

Let’s review the Management Chain of Command

ACCOUNT MANAGERhandles direct contact with you, the client
PRODUCTION MANAGERhandles management over-site for quality
CREW CHIEFis in charge of the crew on site; works with the crew
CREW MEMBERperforms physical work

HOW CAN YOU IDENTIFY THEM?

Account Managers and Production Managers drive one of these three vehicle types–feel free to talk  to them anytime.  Account manager CarManagers vehicle

 

Production manager truck

Crew Chiefs and Crew Members wear blue shirts with the Blade Runners logo.  They are the ones working on the site.  IT IS BEST NOT TO TALK TO THEM.  THEY ARE COMPLETING WORK FOR YOU AND NEED TO GET THEIR TASKS COMPLETED.

 WHO CAN I TALK TO AT BLADE RUNNERS?

1)  Send your questions/concerns to the contact page on the website, which is directed to the president’s desk.

2)  Talk to the manager in the car, van or little truck–as pictured above.

3)  Contact your property manager or main point of contact for the service. (there is always one)

WHY NOT TALK TO THE CREW?

1)   They do not know the full scope of all the work on the service contract.

2)   They are busy doing a physical job and need to focus.

3)   It often results in frustration and miscommunication.

4)   You may resolve your concern one time for that visit, but not for the future when someone else comes the next visit.

5)   They are under pressure for a good deal of quality deliverables that do not involve client contact.

6)   Your concern might have nothing to do with what they are tasked for that day.  For instance, you might want to know about shrub trimming and they are  there to mow.

The contact page is really the best, it goes to the president’s desk.

Shannon,
You and your crew have done a fantastic job — very professional and you certainly did not rush through your work. We are very pleased.

Hi Terry,
I would like to pass along a compliment to all the Blade Runners workers who performed the edging, mulching and clean up service for Forest Hills of Fairfax Community on Wednesday, March 16, 2016.  The quality of work was excellent.  The edging and mulching look really good and all areas in the community were serviced.  Their work made a major improvement in the appearance of the community.
Regards,
Drummond Taylor

Westcove Cluster uses Blade Runners; they have always been on top of our plowing and did a phenomenal job during the recent snow event.

Westcove Cluster President


Ashley Court Cluster in North Reston would like to add our voices to those applauding the job you have done thus far under extremely difficult conditions.  I have received many emails and verbal comments from cluster residents asking me to forward on to you our sincere thanks.  Please let our plow driver know that his tireless efforts and good humor have been recognized by the neighborhood at large and are much appreciated.  We, like all of you, look forward to this all being behind us.

   With sincere thanks,
   Ashley Court Cluster Board of Directors


“I think you all did a great job at Briarwood Condos. Great job in the parking lot and an unbelievably great job at 4:30 am getting our side walks done. Thank you so much!”

Blade Runners handles both snow removal and landscaping for us.  We have a good relationship, and they are responsive to our needs.  Our on-going relationship with Blade Runners has been an asset to Hunters Square.

My name is Janine Leete and I am president of the Pavilions Cluster in north Reston, a community of 34 single family homes. Many thanks for the on-going progress updates. I have been able to share the information with the residents and that has gone a long way toward managing expectations. Several residents have e-mailed me and asked me to pass on their compliments to Blade Runners and the plow operators. We in the Pavilions have been quite impressed with the service. Somehow the driver(s) assigned to our little neighborhood managed to keep an open lane throughout almost the entire storm. We don’t know how they did it but we are grateful. Having heard from other cluster presidents who have contracts with other companies and have yet to even see a plow, I realize just how lucky we are.  Our thanks to the driver or drivers who worked our property on Friday and Saturday. Their diligence and hard work is appreciated.

Regards,

   Janine Leete, President
