JoTo PR Introduces New Client, Aims to Rebuild Trust in Construction Industry
Tampa Bay, Fla. (PRWEB) March 27, 2017 -- Between 1947 and 2010, the construction industry eked out a grim 6% growth in its productivity compared to agriculture (1,510%) and manufacturing (760%). In fact, construction’s productivity is lower today than it was in 1968. BathMasters, a Florida and Virginia-based plumbing, electrical and building contractor company, has aligned with JoTo PR to change the public perception of the industry and regain the trust of consumers.
Low productivity in construction today is the result of a multitude of factors. Although there are many large construction companies around the world, the industry also has plenty of smaller, less-productive firms. Contracts can become beset with disputes, and changes to the basic project specifications have unfortunately become the new norm. In many countries, the complex nature of regulation leads to loose controls and unethical practices. The balance of renovation and repairs to new builds in developed countries adds salt to the wound when worn infrastructure fails, crippling an area and contributing to low productivity.1
In the U.S., untrained, unscrupulous and unlicensed contractors prey on consumers, dragging down the reputation of good companies that take pride in their craftsmanship and workforce. BathMasters is working to bring needed change to the construction industry.
BathMasters was created to specialize in bathroom renovations. Experts in both custom tile and the highest quality acrylic bathrooms, the difference between BathMasters and others in the industry is twofold; each homeowner’s needs are at the center of every BathMasters professional estimate, and BathMasters utilizes fully-trained installers who are driven to install their bathrooms correctly the first time.
“Co-founders and brothers Greg and David Norman stand behind their family-owned business. They recognized the need for trained craftsmen in the industry to rebuild the industry’s reputation,” pointed out Karla Jo Helms, CEO, Chief Evangelist and Anti-PR Strategist for JoTo PR. “BathMasters’ has a rigorous training and internship program that focuses on creating master craftsmen and women—a refreshing concept in the industry.”
BathMasters is rapidly expanding to meet the demand of its customers, purchasing warehouse space in Tampa Bay, Florida, and bringing its 10 years of Virginia craftsmanship, A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau, and expertise to a state that has suffered from a reputation for poor construction quality. “BathMasters has discovered the ‘lost tech’ of bathroom installation and renovation, and its message is one of positive return on investment for homeowners. JoTo PR has signed BathMasters as a client to help it spread the word,” commented Helms.
Bathroom upgrades provide one of the greatest increases in home value, as well as enhancing key safety features. With thousands of custom bathrooms remodeled, BathMasters has become the premier choice for bathroom renovation needs. “BathMasters is changing the face of the bathroom renovation industry—beginning with proper training,” added Helms.
