Even before joining forces with Go-Forth Home Services in 2011, Lake Norman Home Services was a trusted mainstay in the Mooresville community, providing reliable pest control and home services throughout the Lake Norman area.
Sam and Fran Newman, both longtime Lake Norman residents, founded Lake Norman Home Services more than 30 years ago. Offering decades of experience in the pest control industry, the Newmans and their company earned respect as one of North Carolina’s leading pest control providers, serving families and businesses throughout Mooresville, Huntersville, Statesville, and the greater Lake Norman region.
In 2011, when the Newmans decided to retire, they made the strategic choice to merge their company with Go-Forth Pest & Lawn, ensuring continuity of service for their loyal Lake Norman area customers.
As longtime friends of the Hazelwood family, the owners of Go-Forth Pest & Lawn based in High Point, NC, the Newmans felt confident that Go-Forth would continue to uphold their unwavering commitment to professional customer service and high-quality pest control provision that Lake Norman area homeowners had come to expect and trust.
