## Story

APEX, N.C. - Storm Guard, roofing and construction brand, has been named to the winning list of Nextdoor’s 2023 Neighborhood Faves. This is the only annual awards where neighbors vote to celebrate their favorite local businesses. This year, Neighborhood Fave winners like Storm Guard will receive greater visibility and ranking on the Nextdoor app as well as a sticker to showcase their win in the real world.

“Neighbors know best, and Nextdoor’s Neighborhood Faves are the only annual awards celebrating the businesses that are most loved by locals. This prestigious recognition is only awarded to 1% of the local businesses on Nextdoor and is a testament to the positive impact they have had on their community,” said Nextdoor CEO Sarah Friar.

Used by one in three households in the US, Nextdoor is the neighborhood network where veri?ed neighbors and businesses connect to the neighborhoods that matter to them.

Founded in 2003, Storm Guard saw the demand for a company that specializes in roofing and construction. As a single location in Minnesota, Storm Guard found themselves traveling to help local communities that were devastated by natural disasters. After responding to a hurricane in Florida in 2012, the founders saw the need for their services all over the country and decided to turn it into a franchise.

“We were so excited to hear that we were voted a “Neighborhood FAVE” on Nextdoor,” said Chris Cohen, Apex, North Carolina Storm Guard franchisee. “I personally live in a neighborhood in our service area and take great pride in providing exceptional customer service to our neighbors. We hope to continue to serve our customers and neighbors for years to come and remain a Neighborhood FAVE.”
