Safety isn't just a checkbox for us at Premiere Property Services—it's the foundation of everything we build. This month, we're proud to spotlight Steve Swihart, whose exceptional leadership at our Mid Michigan Branch has transformed safety from a requirement into a competitive advantage. Zach Gustafson, Mid Michigan Branch Manager, has already been very impressed with Steve and his leadership.
When property managers entrust their renovation projects to us, they're not just looking for quality results—they want peace of mind. That's exactly what Steve delivers through his unwavering commitment to safety protocols and thorough training programs that exceed industry standards.
Building a Culture of Safety Excellence
Since joining our team, Steve has proven himself as more than just a Account Representative—he's become a true safety champion by completing all of his safety certifications. His approach combines rigorous OSHA-authorized training with practical, hands-on instruction that ensures every team member understands not just the what of safety procedures, but the why behind them.
Safety isn't something they do—it's who they are. When their teams arrive at a property, managers immediately notice the difference in how they operate, from equipment handling to site organization. This attention to detail translates directly to higher quality outcomes and fewer complications.
This dedication has positioned our Mid Michigan Branch as a leader in both quality and safety throughout the state. For property managers and owners, this means reduced liability, more efficient project completion, and the confidence that comes from working with true professionals.
Setting the Standard for Industry Training
What truly separates Premiere Property Services from others in Michigan's property renovation industry is our comprehensive training program. Under Steve's guidance, our Mid Michigan team receives the most thorough safety training available in the state.
This investment in proper training pays dividends in multiple ways. First, it significantly reduces workplace incidents, keeping our team safe and projects on schedule. Second, it enhances overall quality as properly trained technicians simply produce better work. Finally, it provides property managers with documentation and peace of mind that all work meets or exceeds regulatory requirements.
"Many contractors claim to prioritize safety, but few make the investment we do in proper training and certification," notes Steve. "Being fully OSHA authorized and trained isn't just about compliance—it's about creating a standard of excellence that clients can trust."
Transforming Property Management Through Safer Renovations
The impact of Steve's leadership extends well beyond our own team. Property managers working with our Mid Michigan Branch report smoother project execution, fewer unexpected issues, and better tenant satisfaction with renovations.
This stems from our comprehensive approach to property renovation safety. Rather than treating safety as separate from quality, we view them as inseparable elements of successful project delivery. When technicians work safely, they also work more precisely, more consistently, and with greater attention to detail.
For property owners, this integrated approach translates to renovations that not only look better but last longer. Properly installed flooring, correctly applied paint, and expertly completed drywall work all contribute to reduced maintenance costs over time—a direct result of our safety-first culture.
The Future of Safety Leadership in Michigan
As we continue expanding into mid-Michigan and Detroit markets, Steve's safety leadership provides a model for our growth. By establishing safety as a core competitive advantage rather than just a compliance requirement, we're changing how property managers evaluate renovation partners.
This forward-thinking approach aligns perfectly with our mission to provide high-quality, efficient, and cost-saving renovation and repair services to apartment properties and manufactured housing communities.
We proudly recognize Steve Swihart as our Safety Leader of the Month—not just for what he's accomplished, but for what his leadership represents for the future of property renovation in Michigan. Through his example, we're demonstrating that the safest choice is also the smartest choice for property managers who value quality, efficiency, and peace of mind.
