“Manpower means you can have someone available when someone needs them,” Patterson said. “I’d rather have people on board and the demand be there than the demand be there and I can’t get two people.”

Eventually, Patterson would like to have 3-4 employees in every city with 10,000 residents in each quadrant around Atlanta.

“I would love to have an office in every major city in Georgia,” he said. “If homeowners know there is a reliable, affordable company out there that looks out for them, then that’s where they’re going to go.”
