SPECIAL TO THE REGISTRY REVIEW
T
he construction industry, like nearly every other sector in the state, has been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. But for one company, the health emergency hasn’t hurt business, so far. Lynette Rogers, owner of Homescapes of New England, has found that her firm has been able to maintain business as usual, with certain exceptions in place. The company, based out of Epping, provides siding, window and deck replacements to homeowners.
“Take each day as it comes, you never know when things can change.”
Because people are home more Rogers said has seen an increase in sales leads. People are indoors and noticing things that they otherwise might not – the paint peeling around the windowsills or the deck that’s warped. She’s still able to perform measurement calls and presentations over the phone or via email, which has even turned into a time-saver, she said. Still, some work must be completed on-site. “In person, I wear a mask and measure windows from a distance,” Rogers said. The majority of the company’s projects are

For work that must be done inside the home – like windows – safety measures such as zip walls work well. The team cordons off an area of the house to work in, then moves to another once it’s been cleaned up and sanitized. Rogers said that Homescapes’ teams top out at two people right now, in order to allow for safe distancing. Homescapes of New England has work scheduled through the end of July, something that Rogers is grateful for. “Take each day as it comes, you never know when things can change,” Rogers said.

going forward at this point, with few disruptions among Homescapes’ New Hampshire clients. With some towns in Massachusetts stopping the issuance of new building permits, the story has been different across the border. However, if a project had an existing permit, work has been allowed to proceed, Rogers said, and these projects remain Homescapes’ queue. When confronted with a gap in the firm’s schedule, a different project is simply slotted in the empty space. When these projects are ready to move forward, they’ll be taken care of as soon as possible.

he Warren Group is making every reasonable effort to collect real estate data during these unprecedented times. As more registries restrict access and courts close down, we anticipate further collection issues and as a result you will see fewer sales, notices and liens in [The Registry Review/The Commercial Record/Banker & Tradesman]. We will publish this information as it is available. We apologize for any inconvenience this crisis may cause, and we thank you for your understanding and continued support of our newspapers. Please call or email customer service at 617-8965388 or customerservice@thewarrengroup.com if you have any questions.
