What retail stores need most
- HVAC and refrigeration that keep the sales floor comfortable and product safe
- Doors, locks and glass that open on time and secure the store at close
- Lighting and signage that stay on, inside and out
- Floor care and cleaning that keep presentation consistent from store to store
- Board-up and glass replacement after break-ins or storms
- Fixtures, millwork and painting for resets and refreshes
- Rollouts and remodels delivered across every location on the same date
Working around trading hours
Most retail work is scheduled before opening or after close. Urgent repairs during trading hours are handled with as little disruption to the sales floor as possible, and noisy or messy work is moved overnight where the site allows.
Luxury retail
Luxury stores need work done to a higher finish standard and with tighter access control. Providers working in luxury locations follow the client’s brand standards and site rules, and McCray can provide officers for after-hours work.
