When it comes to taking care of buildings, Fixed Assets Inc. takes care of any problem. In fact, Vice President Sheila Shedlov says that even others in the industry call her husband, Fixed Assets President Dan Shedlov, when they come up against a problem that appears unsolvable. More often than not, he fixes those, too.
Since 2016, the Shedlovs have approached their business with a can-do attitude. The pair met 30 years ago while working in commercial property maintenance and eventually decided to hang out their shingle and build a company of their own — one known for superior-quality work, top industry accreditations and a company culture that supports and promotes everyone, from administration, construction and grounds policing to property maintenance and HVAC management.
Once a small venture where paychecks were uncertain, the Plymouth-based company has grown into a successful enterprise with 55 employees. Matter of fact, it has earned awards from the Institute of Real Estate Management and accreditation from the American Society for Health Care Engineering, which points to one of Fixed Assets’ specialties: ensuring medical facilities (among other structures) stay up to date with fire life safety and Joint Commission standards. Fixed Assets makes a point to excel in documentation and communication to ensure no detail is ever missed.
As Sheila explains, they also do full-circle business with Bridgewater Bank. Specifically, Bridgewater helps them protect their assets and connects Sheila to the business community through Bridgewater’s robust women’s network. “They provide the sophisticated products and services of a big bank, but with such personalized service,” she says, adding that she receives great support from attending Bridgewater events as well. “I just love hearing how other people in the commercial industry are affected by the economics of the times. Bridgewater provides problem-solving solutions, moral support and community.”
But it’s the reputation of Fixed Assets that brings Sheila such pride. Nothing is perfect, she acknowledges, but they come as close as they can, which is the secret to their success. “For our clients, we will always try to make things right,” she says.
