[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Finding reputable home repair companies and contractors. I used to use Angie’s list and it was great[/quote]

Yes! I’m so tired of researching companies, reading reviews, scheduling estimates, etc. I have a laundry list of things I need done around the house, but it requires managing multiple types of contractors.

I need an electrician to fix some outlets and hardwire some light fixtures. My HVAC is incredibly old (have kicked the can 2x with repairs) and likely needs to be replaced soon. I want to have our sewer line scoped. There is some carpentry work (e.g. shelving and such) I’d like to do. I need someone to do a bit of drainage work and put in a walkway in my side yard. My driveway needs repaving. And on and on.

Obviously paying for this stuff isn’t fun, but I have the money. What I don’t have is time to arrange all these things. And if your project is too small there may not be interest or you won’t be prioritized on the schedule.

I wish there was some centralized contracting service that could come to your house and write up an estimate for everything and send out the people you need for each project. It feels like as soon as I knock 1-2 projects off our to do list another few pop up. I’m always looking around at the things that need fixed but I don’t have time to schedule to fix.[/quote]

You need a property management company if you don't feel like managing it yourself.
They will then go out and hire for each individual trade.[/quote]
I'm a renter who is trying to save the owner from property management company. Now I need to contact better business bureau so I can get them off my back.
The owner ended contract with them. They told me that, but I still get charges left and right as  new month just started.
The company also never cleaned the home before showing it to me. When they finally discovered that nobody cleaned the place, they promised to do so and contact me when it was ready. They never did. I can go on and on how bad they are.
Nobody is doing the job they promise they would do.[/quote]
