Looking for New York Homeowners Insurance?
You probably have a list of contact numbers for utility services, 24 hour plumbers, emergency electrical contractors and your New York homeowners insurance provider. Do you have a handyman or maintenance service you can call on for those small jobs that don’t warrant a specialized, licensed contractor?
Small maintenance jobs like a dripping tap in the bathroom, a wobbly power outlet in the study or a droopy garden gate all tend to accumulate and before you know it there is a long list of repairs waiting to be done. It makes sense to outsource these tasks to a service that employs competent staff who are able to tackle a variety of different repair jobs at the same time.
Word of mouth referral is a good way to find a good maintenance service. You could also try looking in the phone book or online for local businesses that offer these services. Call around and ask each service about callout charges and hourly rates, and whether they are available after normal business hours. Check that they carry workers’ compensation and liability insurance, and ask for contact details of satisfied clients. Be sure to call these references to check that repairs were done promptly, competently and at a reasonable price.
A maintenance service that can do all that you are looking for, and offers friendly customer service as well, should go to the top of your emergency contact list! Talk to your agent or insurer if you are unsure what types of household damage are covered by New York homeowners insurance.
