Remodeling: How Competitive Are We?

Joppa Park

An existing My Handyman customer called to ask if we could compete with contractors on Craig’s List. He was buying a condo in Newburyport, MA and had plans to update the bathrooms, add hardwood flooring and other home repairs. I explained we are competitive when you look at the total package, not just price. I outlined the value we could provide, benefits important for a business owner with limited time.

• Project and budget planning support
• Technicians fully insured and bonded
• Written project updates emailed weekly
• Coordination with other home contractors as needed

Market Square

Given the scope of the project, I also offered a discount for days worked that were 4/more hours. My customer appreciates the work we’ve done for him over the last 3 years and quickly said “… great, I’ve always been happy with your work so let’s go ahead.” We scheduled a walk through for Saturday morning following the closing.

Check back periodically to get the latest news about our condo renovations. We anticipate completing the project in 6 weeks, depending on how quickly we can finalize materials choices from paint colors to vanities, bathroom hardware, etc.
