Spectrum Home Services -- July 12, 2006
This is Fred Ball for Zions Bank, speaking on business.
Spectrum Home Services in Midvale really accomplishes its motto: Services for all seasons. Not only does the company provide quality maintenance, cleaning, homemaking and yard care services during all seasons of the year, but the company provides these services for people in all seasons of life.
Jenny Nelson founded Spectrum Home Services in 2000. While earning her bachelor's degree in physical therapy and master's degree in gerontology, she discovered that many people who receive treatment in therapy will regress when they go back home. So Jenny opened Spectrum Home Services as a way to serve people who need some extra care at home. And while she originally intended the company to serve elderly clients, the company grew very quickly as she found that people of all ages want these services.
Spectrum Home Services provides deep cleaning, yard care, home maintenance and repairs, relocation services and homemaking tasks like meal preparation, shopping, laundry service and more. Services range from going grocery shopping to planting flowers to installing a railing down a staircase. For clients who need help moving, Spectrum Home Services not only helps pack the boxes and move them to the new location, but the employees also help unpack the boxes and get the client settled.
The company's employees focus on the people they serve. Employees visit specific, often regular clients, establishing a relationship with them as they provide custom services. For example, the daughter of one elderly Vietnamese client taught a Spectrum Home Services employee how to cook Vietnamese meals for her mother.
The business model proved so popular that in 2004, Jenny franchised the concept. Now Spectrum Home Services has offices in Davis, Salt Lake and Utah counties, along with franchises in five other states. In Utah alone the business has about 400 clients.
