In this blog post, we wanted to highlight one of our recent videos with a contractor who is benefitting from the loans provided by Greenlock. Tom Reyes is the Vice President of a general contracting company in Los Angeles. His company is like many who operate in the insurance restoration space. They often struggle with cashflow issues.
Reyes points out, in dealing with insurance companies and mortgage companies on restoration projects, payments can be delayed, and when your company has multiple jobs going, it can be difficult to have the funds to get them done when you haven’t even been paid for the last job you completed. On several occasions, Reyes’s company was given a promise that a large payment was coming, but then it didn’t materialize and his company was forced to scramble to make payroll.
Reyes says that the stress was becoming too much. He no longer enjoyed his job and was even ready to call it quits. Fortunately, he found Greenlock.
Greenlock provided Reyes’s company with the funding they needed to keep their projects moving forward. They were able to pay for materials, and more importantly, pay their employees on time. The company’s owners were even able to pay themselves. Reyes says Greenlock gave him “complete freedom.” Cashflow is no longer an issue, and the stress is gone. He’s even enjoying his job again.
If you’re thinking that using Greenlock for funding is just for new or struggling insurance restoration contracting companies, think again. Reyes’s company is like many that we work with—established and well respected in the industry. Reyes describes his company as “solid.” He says, “We had all the leads and the means to get the work. We had great people to do the jobs and make the customers happy, but we didn’t have the financing. [Greenlock] bridged that gap for us and really just turned everything around for us.”
He says now that they have the available funds, it’s much easier to grow his business. He can take on more projects without worrying about cashflow.
When asked about his experience with the team at Greenlock, Reyes says Greenlock is “really, really simple to work with.” He says he feels like we truly care about him and his business (which we do), and that we also understand his business and know what he deals with on a daily basis. Because our team is made up of contractors and others in the development and real estate industries, we know about the challenges faced by contractors and the types of loans they need to help them move their companies forward.
We want to thank Tom Reyes for sitting down with us and sharing his thoughts for this video. It’s our hope that videos like this will help others in the insurance restoration industry understand more about what we do and how we can help.
