I think ServiceMagic is great! Since
I discovered it two years ago, I have been using it for every
major and minor project in my home. I am also on the Board of
Directors for my homeowners association and we all use ServiceMagic.
Thanks for your diligence in selecting good companies to
refer. Keep it up and you'll have a lifelong customer in
me."

"Fantastic service! When I thought about all the people I
needed to contact in order to move my home, it was a daunting
task. But I found your service through Google, and from there
have found everyone I needed from floor finisher to movers to
junk removal. I especially appreciate the rating system and
customer feedback. I will be sure to refer to service to family
and friends."

Consider the following home repair article, before you start
Your home is perhaps the biggest investment you will ever make. It is your shelter, your refuge, and a place where you can raise your children and experience pride of ownership. All homes are made to last, but over time you may find that you’re in need of some home repair. There are different kinds of things that can happen to a house, and some can be fixed by you on your own. On the other hand a lot of more serious problems will require the help of a professional contractor. It’s important to be able to distinguish between the two. Know what you can fix on your own to save money, and know when to draw the line and make a call to an experienced repair contractor. Let’s take a look at some issues that can be done yourself and others that will need a professional to step in.
For example, a leaking roof is a common problem. As a homeowner, you need to determine how serious the leak is. If small droplets trickle in from time to time, and you discover it is simply a shingle issue, you should be able to fix the problem yourself. On the other hand, roof problems can lead to serious damage and a lot of heartache if they aren’t repaired properly. It’s best to call a professional contractor and have them take a look at the damage so they can assess whether or not an easy fix can be made, a section of the roof will need to be replaced, or in extreme cases an entire new roof will need to be put on. Another common home problem is the hot water heater. Sometimes when the water heater stops working, it requires an easy fix. In other cases, however, an experienced plumber or HVAC contractor will need to step in. It will really depend on the severity of the problem and how bad it has gotten.
Items in your home like electrical wiring, faucets, and extras like the garbage disposal can usually be either repaired or replaced by you. Electricity is something that should be taken very seriously if there is a major problem. A professional electrician is highly recommended not only to protect your investment but to protect your safety as well. When it comes to much more serious home issues like the foundation, major plumbing, interior walls, flooring, and other structural issues, a professional contractor should always be consulted. This type of repair should definitely be done by someone who has experience and can provide accurate and efficient service that will last a long time. It’s recommended you consult friends and family for recommendations on a good contractor, as well as the Better Business Bureau. This way you can be sure you will get quality repairs and good service, as well as fair prices. It’s important to look for repair contractors who are part of an association or organization so you are protected. The Associated General Contractors of America is a good place to start. There are also groups for all different aspects of home repair, like the National Electrical Contractors Association, the National Roofing Contractors Association, and the Plumbing Heating Cooling Contractors National Association (www.phccweb.org) to name a few. Be sure to always do your homework, and you will find competent and honest companies who will help you fix and improve your biggest investment.
