Not just service, this is magic!
October 15th, 2008 Categories: Tips & Tools
Need a project done at home and don’t know who to call? Try ServiceMagic.com! This incredibly useful site lets you put in your contact info, your location, and details about your desired project — anything from minor jobs like installing a light fixture or fixing a sidewalk, to major undertakings like building a brick fence, re-working a fireplace, installing new flooring, adding onto your home and more. After you submit your project info, ServiceMagic will have three local service providers — licensed, experienced, and highly-regarded — contact you with bids or estimates for your project. One of our staff tried out the service herself for a very small project one evening, and was contacted by two top local vendors the next day (one of whom, Boston Brick & Stone, is a company we frequently hire or refer clients to). The site also includes an enormous library of articles, tips and hints on thousands of home projects.
This is a great service for those who don’t have their own extensive list of builders, electricians, handyman services, and so forth. If you’ve got a project in mind for your own house, give it a try! And feel free to call us at the office if you get bids from companies you’re not familiar with — after 20 years in the local real estate industry, there’s a very good chance that we’ve worked with them before - 310-285-7515.

I prefer something like Angie’s List where I can call the contractor instead of fielding what ends up being sales/telemarketing calls from the contractors who had to pay for my information.
