🌟 Franchisee Spotlight: Surv Nashville 🌟 This week we’re shining a light on Andrew W. & Danny Phillips in Nashville, a couple of our amazing Surv partners who help their community tackle the never-ending to-do list. From big jobs to the little things that make a home run smoothly, Surv Nashville does it all! Learn More about Surv Nashville: ❓ Question #1: What inspired you to become a Surv franchisee? “I was drawn to Surv because of its strong core values and mission-driven purpose. The idea of helping homeowners stay in their homes longer while also strengthening community ties really resonated with me, especially at a time when close-knit communities and family units are becoming less common.” ❓ Question #2: What’s your favorite type of project to help customers with? “While I don’t have a single favorite type, I particularly value the projects that customers once did themselves but can no longer manage; helping them regain that sense of comfort and independence is very rewarding.” ❓ Question #3: Can you share a memorable customer story or moment since joining Surv? “One memorable moment was a Random Act of Kindness, or “RAK,” for a homeowner in our community who had suffered a tragic loss. We helped them move out of their home and into a new space where they could begin creating new memories. As part of that process, we cleaned and prepared their old home so they could recover their full security deposit, funds they truly needed during that difficult transition.” ❓ Question #4: What’s one tip you’d give homeowners for keeping up with their homes regularly? “Don’t let the small things pile up. Simple tasks like gutter cleaning and routine maintenance can go a long way in preventing major, costly repairs later on. Staying proactive saves both time and money in the long run.” Surv Nashville is proud to be the to-do list partner for homeowners in their community. Whether it’s cleaning, fixing, moving, or those odd jobs you’ve been putting off — Surv Nashville is here to help.

🌻 Calling All Gardeners! 🌷 Summer is your season. The flowers are blooming and the fruits and veggies are ripe and weeds are in all out attack mode. Weed control is an ending task that often takes time. Finding someone to weed a garden is harder than it sounds. Lawn care services do just that, they keep lawns looking good but they do not service gardens and certainly do not pull weeds. Landscapers design gardens but generally do not provide upkeep services. Surv, Your To Do List Partner ™, assists with all types of household maintenance tasks, inside and outside the home. This includes help in the garden and the yard. The Surv team provides weeding, mulching, brush clearing & more yard services!
