Juggling contractors can be hard work.
If you need help around the house, you might need a separate electrician, plumber, handyman, HVAC technician, pool cleaner, or housekeeper. I thought I had it bad when I was living in my old house, but I had no idea how hard it would be to juggle all of these different professionals while building a new house from scratch. Just finding a good builder in my city was hard enough as it was. There are so many fly-by-night companies that swoop in with fake Google reviews and sign dozens of contracts before they pocket the money and run. Sometimes it can take some skill to differentiate a fraud from a reputable business. Then, once you know you have a list of legitimate contractors in the area, the hardest part is narrowing it down to someone for each individual job. After all was said and done, I wasn’t thrilled with the level of detail put into my house. I had electrical issues right away that I had to get fixed as it was posing a considerable fire hazard. For maintenance work each month, I really just need help with my central heating and cooling system, my water heater and plumbing, and any electrical inspections and repairs. To my bewilderment, I found an amazing company near my house that specializes in all three, being an HVAC, plumbing, and electrical service, and regularly beating out their competition in reviews and word-of-mouth. Plus, by signing maintenance contracts for each of the three speciality services that they offer, I saved over 60% on each individual contract. When I was looking for this amount of work from the beginning, it’s a nice surprise to find it all in one place.
