Need a Handyman, Electrician, Housecleaner?
Wednesday, September 5th, 2007Erik’s recent post called “Hire a Helper” reminded me of another helpful website. Where Hire a Helper provides helpers for odd jobs like moving, mowing the lawn, etc., ServiceMagic is a one-stop shop for any kind of home service provider.
I’ve been in need of a house cleaner, a painter, a person to tile my floors, someone to finish my kitchen remodel, an electrician, and someone to install my fence. I’ve used ServiceMagic for all those.
You just fill out the online form for the service you need. ServiceMagic sends your information to three local companies that have been prescreened by them. Within minutes you will get three phone calls from those businesses and can compare prices. It’s simple and easy.
And…please hear me…they DON’T sell your information. I’ve NEVER received unsolicited phone calls after using them. I just get the three phone calls from the local businesses and that’s it.
Next time you need any service around the house I hope you have the same good experience as I’ve had.
With the Buyer’s market we’re currently working through, there are many homeowners who can’t sell their houses and for one reason or another are forced to become landlords.
