Home owners and property owners are always finding things that need maintenance or improvement.  Sometimes it works out that it is simple enough to do by yourself but other times a professional contractor is necessary.  When you decide that it is necessary for a contractor to help you out, then start by looking through our contractor listings.  Find a contractor that is a local contractor and that specializes in your area of need.

Meeting and greeting a contractor is important to most people.  You will find the contact information, a link to their website (when applicable), and some information about their capabilities as a professional contractor.  Pictures and video links are available from some of the contractors as well.

Some folks prefer to have a property manager who provides a turnkey solution.  Property managers will be able to check up on your property while you are away.  They can take video and email the video link straight to your inbox.  A property manager is essentially a middle man between you the homeowner and the contractors who perform the work.  Does that sound like the right fit for you?  Check out the property managers page for more information.

Payment solutions for contractors and property managers can have many nuances depending on the project or the contract.  Someone has changed their mind, or saw a brand new product that is more appealing.  You know the drill.  The best practices page can shed some light on the topic for those who need some guidance on what is expected from both the home owner and the contractor.  Change orders, weather delays, and other variables are legitimate considerations.

Set reasonable expectations ahead of time with proper planning and thoughtfulness.  Your experience with a contractor or a property manager depends on it.
