“The Results Were Shocking. I Wish I Had Called A Lot Sooner.”
Location: Arlington
As a solo homeowner and working mom, Erin has a busy schedule. Keeping her house well-maintained is a priority to her, but she doesn’t have the time or ability to tackle all the necessary projects on her own.
Hambleton has been her go-to company for her home repairs and upgrades for the past six years. Once or twice a year, she asks the team to come tackle a few tasks both inside and outside the home. They’ve impressed her with the many projects they’ve completed in her home over the years, and now she is more surprised when they can’t do something than when they can. She trusts them in her home and always feels respected by the craftsmen who do the work, making the experience enjoyable every time.
How One Job Turned Into Many: Her First Experience with Hambleton
Erin lives and works in her two-story home, which she shares with her kids. The home has various spaces that need regular maintenance, including the screened-in porch and stone walkway. She tracks those projects and others as they come up in a list on her phone. Once the list is long enough, she knows it’s time to hire help to make sure the house stays safe, comfortable, and in good condition.
She learned about Hambleton Handyman after using their sister company, Hambleton Lawn and Landscape. The quality of their work and the professionalism of their craftsmen impressed her the first time she hired them. So, she continued to call them for the projects on her list.
The Importance of Talented and Trustworthy Craftsmen in Your Home
Being a single, female homeowner makes finding good handymen and contractors even more difficult than usual.
“Often when I’ve tried to work with other contractors, they will have an attitude with me like they’re waiting to speak to the ‘man of the house.’ I never feel like that with Hambleton. They’re professional, respectful, and very clear in their communication with me. They treat me like an equal,” said Erin.
Whether she’s home alone or her kids are also around, she shared that she always feels comfortable with the craftsmen Hambleton sends to complete the projects:
“I feel safe and secure with them. Some of these gentlemen are in my house for a day or two, in my personal spaces, and I never feel like I have to keep an eye on them. We have nice conversations, and I’m always happy to have them in my home.”
Erin shared that this is true not only from a personal safety perspective, but also from a financial perspective. She feels she pays a fair price for the work the craftsmen complete, and that they stay busy, making each hour you pay for worth the investment:
“I never worry about being overcharged. Everyone is very ethical. The craftsman is transparent about what he buys, and he’ll provide you with the receipts. I always feel like I’m paying for the appropriate amount of time. When they’re here, they stay busy.”
When Help is One Call Away, Regular Home Maintenance is Easy!
While their integrity is part of why Erin considers Hambleton her go-to home maintenance company, the team’s ability to handle almost any job is a large part of why they continue to receive her business.
Over the last six years, Erin has had the Hambleton team help with a vast array of projects. These include:
- Re-screening her back porch
- Repointing the stones on her front walkway
- Moving light fixtures
- Hanging wallpaper
- Installing outdoor lighting
- Removing an oversized, embedded mirror
She shared that whether it’s a one or two-person job, or requires more expertise, Hambleton has been able to provide the same quality work and complete the job well. When she has a long list of general or odd home repair tasks she needs finished, it is a huge help to have a company that can tackle them all at once:
“I almost now just expect that they can do all the stuff. I’m surprised when they say they can’t do something, because they’ve spoiled me!”
She said they always leave things even better than when they arrived, and there are never any surprises waiting when she receives the final bill.
Erin’s Final Thoughts on Why She Continues to Choose and Recommend Hambleton Handyman
“Because I have seen the same craftsmen come out over the years, I assume these men are treated well and with respect at Hambleton. I know how in demand these people are!
Working with the craftsman doesn’t feel like working with a member of a corporate machine. It feels like you’re really working one-on-one with a handyman who’s there to help you. I have and will continue to recommend them to my friends and neighbors
I wouldn’t choose anyone else!”
