It’s time for a little improvement

Right now might not be the best time for me to thinking about home improvements with the economy the way it is and my own personal situation, but I just can’t help it! |
Hanging around the house practically 24/7 has opened my eyes to all the things I’d like to improve. You’ve seen my attempts at landscaping and lawn care in the past few weeks, and now I’ve set my sites to indoors. First on my list? Good-bye carpets, and hello beautiful wooden floors!
The only problem is, there is no way D and I are going to attempt to do that kind of job on our own. We would have no idea where to start. That’s where ServiceSpider.com comes in. Their website connects homeowners with local contractors that can help you get the job done.
I know it is frustrating and hard trying to hire and find companies to complete home improvements. You have to go through a long drawn out contract and negotiation process. With ServiceSpider, the process is simple. All you have to do is log on and post about your project. After that, local contractors actually bid to begin working on your job. You have full control over who is selected. Best of all, it is free to use. Every potential contractor has their own information page that includes feedback scores based on customers who have already worked with them in the past, so you can make an educated decision on who best fits your project. I really like that you are able to upload and include photos of what you are looking for too. Since it is free, I plan to use it to see how inexpensively we can get our hardwood floors installed for later this year.
In addition, ServiceSpiderpro.com helps contractors market themselves by building them a professional website that helps bring in potential clientele.
I can’t wait to see how beautiful our house is after installing hardwood floors! What kinds of home improvements are you looking to start? What has your experience been with finding a contractor? What do you think of this online process?
