December's Best of ProTec

by Dave Rauch

I’m so excited to share that we have a double winner for December!

Mike Kinney and Abel Toxqui from Dept. 260 were both praised by a homeowner who took the time to recognize their garage repair work. They mentioned how careful Mike and Abel were with their measuring, the quality of their work, and even the heavy lifting they handled. Just as important, they were friendly, organized, and got the job done quickly while communicating well with the homeowners and staying out of their way. You both embody our Core Values (Rules).  

I truly can’t say enough how much it means to hear feedback like this, to know that we are delivering on our "Purpose of Improving Quality of Life". Huge thank you to Mike and Abel for the great work and for representing ProTec so well. What an awesome way to close out the year as our Best of ProTec winners!

Charging into 2026

by Dave Rauch

The new year is a time to reflect, reset, and set new goals, and we’re excited to hit the ground running. There’s a lot of energy heading into this year, and we’re ready to build momentum and keep moving forward together.

Our focus is on making ProTec easier to work at and easier to work with by improving our systems, tightening up our processes, and making sure we’re all moving in the same direction.

Most importantly, we’re committed to our ProTecians. That means continuing to create opportunities, recognizing hard work, and promoting from within whenever possible. When the company grows, it should create real wins for the people who make that growth possible.

We’re one team, heading into this year with optimism and a clear path forward. We’re excited about what’s ahead and ready for many more wins together.

Dave's Success Tips

by Dave Rauch

Tip #82: Question everything. Don't believe it's true or right just because it's conventional. Strip all limits from your imagination on every deal and look for an unconventional creative opportunity in every mistake, crisis or problem. Be flexible, and be willing to turn on a dime when advantageous.
