Based on our research and personal experience, it is very different person to person and home to home.
For keeping track of who their service pros are, some have spreadsheets and Google documents. Others have a rolodex or legal pad. Saved contacts in phones and email are popular. It’s scattered and messy and more work than it should be.
Record keeping methods are similarly varied. We hear a lot of stories about filing cabinets and stacks of papers just waiting to be organized. Some companies do a good job with electronic records like invoices and service history, but it’s hit and miss depending who you use. And forget about trying to locate what was done before you moved in. Most of the time, that’s a complete mystery.
When it comes to finding a service pro for a job, the best approach is to ask a neighbor or friend. It’s the highest level of trust and reliability. But it’s not always that simple, because people don’t know who to ask, they don’t have the time, or when they ask a friend they themselves can’t quite remember. So then it becomes a guessing game based on reviews and searches and cold calls. Lead resellers take your information and sell it to several service pros that then race to reach you first. Homeowners tell stories about how they searched a common service site for a plumber and got 5 calls in 30 minutes. It’s a terrible experience for the homeowner, and unfortunately it’s similar for the service pro.

We believe that the best client and service pro relationships are true partnerships, based on trust, quality, and respect. We want everyone to get what they want: for the job to be a success and their home to be a happy, secure, enjoyable place. If we don’t find ways to support both sides, it makes things that much harder. A pro does better when they know they have a quality client. Homeowners get better results when they have a reliable, skilled pro. We want to make sure everyone is successful instead of just focusing on one side of the equation.
