BBC Friday 25 January 2013 @ OfficeXpats – New Business: Peninsula Infrared, w/ Grant Furness

This Friday BBC Regular Grant Furness tells his story, starting a new business.

Grant has started a new business, Peninsula Infrared LLC, “The Peninsula’s Certified Infrared Expert” (a veteran-owned small business).

Here at Peninsula Infrared, our mission is twofold: assisting building owners in protecting the investment they have made in their buildings and helping contractors deliver better products and services to their customers. Services include a detailed report of our findings and recommendations for solutions.

We address issues related to water intrusion, after earhtquake work, quality control, preventative maintenance of equipment and radiant heating systems.

“The thing I like most about this work is solving the puzzle. For even the best contractor or professional building manager, having the time to problem solve building issues can be frustrating. Peninsula Infrared has that particular expertise to problem solve issues fast and right. At the end of the end of the day, I like to think about my work, ‘a job well done’.”  (peninsulainfrared.com / [email protected] / 360.362.2299)
