We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Ty McBride. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Ty below.
Ty, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Let’s start with the story of your mission. What should we know?
Preservan’s mission is clear: save the future by preserving the past. Americans spend a staggering $9 billion annually on replacing windows, doors, and siding, a significant portion of this expenditure is attributed to wood rot and termite damage. This issue is not unique to a single neighborhood or city; it plagues communities across the United States. According to the American Wood Protection Association (AWPA), almost 50 percent of the U.S. faces high to severe wood deterioration. Because this is a nationwide issue, Preservan is franchising their business model to provide their services across the U.S. Preservan recognizes the need for an alternative renovation approach that won’t drain homeowners’ bank accounts or disrupt their lives. They understand that homeowners are not merely customers but neighbors deserving of an affordable, convenient, and sustainable repair solution.
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?
In 2016, a small but innovative service was born in the heart of Mesta Park, a historic neighborhood nestled in Oklahoma City. Ty McBride, a resident of the neighborhood, embarked on a journey that would revolutionize the way homeowners address wood rot and deterioration. This endeavor, known as Preservan, has not only served the local community but has also changed the way homeowners approach renovations. It began with a simple is: the use of epoxy technology to repair rotting wood on everyday homes. Preservan recognized the need for an alternative renovation approach that wouldn’t drain homeowners’ bank accounts or disrupt their lives. They understand that homeowners are not merely customers but neighbors deserving of an affordable, convenient, and sustainable repair solution. This neighborly approach has earned them rave reviews online and strong local support.
Preservan sets itself apart from the competition with its innovative wood rot repair services that employ advanced resin technology. This allows them to perform repairs at a fraction of the cost of replacement—often up to 90% less—and complete projects in as little as 24 hours.
How did you build your audience on social media?
We find that keeping the voice of our social media in-house is the best way to stay authentic and connected to our neighbors. Our founder regularly records videos sharing updates about the company and daily tasks allowing our neighbors and followers to stay informed and feel connected.
We’d love to hear about how you keep in touch with clients.
We refer to our clients as neighbors and we work to foster that relationship with them before, during, and long after they’ve used our services. Our mission of being affordable, convenient, and sustainable stretches far beyond the wood rot we repair for them. We send out monthly newsletters sharing tips and tricks on how to reduce waste, workshops we are hosting, and any other relevant information to keep them connected to our mission.
