Core Values

When hiring, Top Notch focuses on finding workers who already embody our core values in their own lives. This ensures a good fit for them at our company, which is designed to reward those values, and promotes an environment in which all stakeholders can thrive.

 

Ethical Practice

Top Notch was started on the principal of “Do the Right Thing.” Trust is a key requirement in our industry and we’re thankful to have a team that chooses ethical behavior in every situation. Paying vendors promptly, fair evaluation of work/life balance needs, and clear value communication to clients are a few examples of our values in action. We believe treating others how we want to be treated is central to success.

 

Team Development

We try to make Top Notch a rewarding and fun place to work that’s geared toward Making Each Other Better. Helping and being supportive of other’s ideas is a great way to feel better about yourself and never puts them ahead of you. A “Leader” leads by example. We see our coworkers as equals and teammates. Some people will have more skills and higher pay, yet everyone contributes to success and has to fill their role for us to do well. Management teams can’t operate without crew leads, leads can’t produce without laborers, and laborers can’t get paid without office staff. 

 

Long Lasting Partnerships

In our geographic region, we’ve been interacting with the same clients and vendors for decades. Whether its with material vendors selling products we can rely on or client follow-up via our home maintenance inspection program, we want our connections to last. We’ve been able to maintain these long-term relationships by acting with integrity and showing partners we care about their results as well as our own. A Good Reputation goes a long way.

 

Community Enhancement

Your environment dramatically impacts your experience. Cultivating our surroundings in positive ways increases the well-being of ourselves and others. We want to Improve Where We Live. One way we implement this at our workyard is by maintaining our physical environment for work optimization. We also prioritize local, small business, or value-aligned organizations as vendors. Employees are encouraged to invest in the greater community through our charitable giving policy.

 

Positive Outcomes

Though it’s not always possible, our goal is to have a positive outcome for everyone. When it is impossible, we still try to pursue the most beneficial outcome available for all parties. Whatever happens, happens for us, not to us. We’re in control of how we receive our experiences and can choose to maintain growth and positivity even in hard times. We all have to work together to Reduce Losses so Everyone Can Benefit.

 

Better Life Quality

We’re concerned with the Long-Term Wellbeing of our employees. Many of our policies are geared toward enhancing worker’s lives today and in the future. Our employee-owned structure also enables us to build retirement funds through our 401(k) plan and provide quarterly bonuses for profitable jobs. When families are provided for well, stress levels go down and employees are able to perform their best work.
