Chad Bischoff
Owner, Sales
Chad started his own business at the bright young age of 18 and has been self-employed ever since. He began with the selling of chain saws which led to lawn mowers and his experience in the lawn care industry grew from there. In May of 2009, he purchased a small gutter business called Gutters R Us. He kept the name and began growing the business basically from scratch. Today we work all throughout Calhoun County and occasionally outside of it. In 1993 he started doing snow removal and continues to do so today. Under New Horizon Property Management, this part of the business has continued to grow. We also offer lawn mowing and maintenance programs, landscaping, Bee Safe Organic Land Care including fertilizing and pesticide applications. His knowledge in all the above areas is what has helped grow these businesses to what they are today. Chad enjoys time with his family, hunting, and fishing in his spare time.
