One of BMS CAT's defining strengths is their ability to prioritize what matters most to customers, whether it's in a home or a commercial property. Mendoza shares how crews recognize and address critical items—like cherished heirlooms—without being prompted. "They'll see grandma's secretary and address that first, easing the customer's stress," he notes.
