Highly Trained Restoration Specialists

Experienced and Certified Professionals in the Unifour Region

At SERVPRO of Alexander, Caldwell, Burke and Catawba Counties, we believe that the best way to run a business is to invest in our employees. By providing them with the tools to succeed, our customers receive high-quality customer service.  It's this philosophy that has allowed us to establish a positive reputation within the Hickory, Morganton, and Lenoir communities of North Carolina.

One of the ways we support our team is by ensuring our employees participate in initial and ongoing training. Each of our production teams attends initial training at our corporate headquarters, and they continue to learn and earn certifications through courses sponsored by the IICRC. We also offer training through self-guided courses and presentations by our management team.

Our employees also have the opportunity to pursue professional development courses, such as through corporate, NADCA or other certified organizations. We want to ensure we're using the most current and efficient tools and methods to serve our customers!
