In a world where it can sometimes feel difficult to get quality follow-through, I want to publicly commend a local business that truly stands by its word. Recently, Martel Construction conducted a final walkthrough of the landscaping at the new North Valley Middle School (NVMS) facility. A few issues were identified, and without hesitation, Martel promised to “fix the wrongs.” They didn’t just fix them; they showed up in full force. This past Monday evening at 4:45 p.m.—in stifling 85-degree heat—about a dozen Martel trucks and 18 employees arrived on-site. They spent the evening hauling heavy rock, replacing the underlying weed mat, and meticulously putting everything back in place. I know firsthand that this was not a fun or easy task, especially after a long workday in the summer heat. This is exactly how businesses build a lasting, respected name for themselves. NVMS is incredibly grateful to Martel Construction for their integrity, accountability, and unwavering commitment to excellence. They made it right, and it did not go unnoticed.
