Berlin, NH – Two growing service businesses – Pratti Mechanical Inc. and Affordable Payroll Inc needed extra space and found just the right location at the entrance to downtown Berlin at 179 Glen Avenue. The property closed in early May.

Business owners John and Shauna Pratti said, "We have two successful businesses, each offering different services, and wanted to find a location that could accommodate both. We found just the right property at 179 Glen Ave."

Don Lapointe of Badger Peabody & Smith Realty said, "The location will work great for John and Shuana. The space has overhead doors and high ceilings and a loading dock – perfect for the mechanical & plumbing business and the former retail and office space is perfect for the bookkeeping & payroll business run by Shauna."

Shauna Pratti said, "John has owned his own plumbing business for over a decade and we've had Affordable Payroll for five years. We were pleased to move to the area a few years ago and have been fortunate to expand our business here in the Androscoggin Valley.

The Pratti's are completing some light renovations and expect to be in the new location by early summer. Shauna Pratti added, "As a family run business, we strive to provide great service to our customers and are currently accepting new clients at both of our businesses."
