HOW DOES YOUR SERVICE WORK?

Whenever you have any home repair or improvement need, give us a call. One of our associates will work with you one-on-one, and using our state-of-the-art referral software, will find the best contractors for your exact needs. Our associate will give you up to 3 referrals from our extensive contractor database. There is no cost or obligation on your part. The contractors will then call you and discuss your needs and provide you with a free, no obligation estimate. If you decide to use them, you pay them directly. We will retain all of your personal and referral information in our confidential database so that you will save time the next time you call us. We take the hassle and headache out of finding honest, reliable, fairly priced, licensed and insured contractors. We will give you peace of mind!!!

HOW ARE YOU BETTER THAN OTHER REFERRAL COMPANIES?

First and foremost, we offer a highly personal service. You get to talk to a live person at our office one-on-one so that we can take the time to understand your exact needs. Although we have state-of-the-art referral software which will correctly identify the contractors best suited for your individual needs and geographic area, we do not give you the referrals over the internet which we feel is highly impersonal. We want to treat you as how each of us at the office would want to be treated…in a friendly, courteous, and highly personal way. We will treat you like our family because we truly care about the service we provide you. We have heard from numerous clients that the service and referrals they receive from our competitors is a “hit or miss” proposition. That is NEVER the case with The End Result. We consistently give you excellent, personalized service and superior referrals each and every time.

I THINK I CAN FIND CONTRACTORS ON MY OWN…SO WHY DO I NEED YOUR SERVICE?

Because we are your guarantee of a smooth and successful experience with the contractor you hire. We eliminate the risk of ending up with a contractor nightmare because each and every one of the contractors in our system have been used by thousands of clients just like yourself over many years and have received the highest positive feedback. We do all the work of making sure they are licensed and insured. Best of all, our contractors stay on our system strictly by merit and by receiving very positive feedback from clients such as yourself. We provide them with thousands of jobs and they truly understand that The End Result expects the highest quality, professional work ethic, honesty, reliability, and fair prices…for each and every client in order for them to remain in our system and continue to receive future referrals from us.

DO YOU DO FOLLOW UP ON YOUR REFERRALS?

A member of our staff will call you to ensure your satisfaction with the job performed. Like the tens of thousands of clients before you who provided their unbiased, honest opinion of their experience, your input will be extremely valuable to us as well. The feedback from our clients helps us do our job better and ensures that only the “cream of the crop” stay in our contractor database.

HOW MANY CONTRACTOR REFERRALS WILL I GET?

That is totally up to the individual client. We have hundreds of contractors representing hundreds of trades in your area. We generally give you 3 referrals so that you have a variety of choices. However, we can certainly accommodate your request for additional contractors or fewer contractors.

HOW DO I GET MY REFERRAL FROM YOU?

WILL YOUR SERVICE COST ME ANYTHING?

Absolutely not!!! There is absolutely no cost or obligation to use our service. You have everything to gain and absolutely nothing to lose!!!

ARE YOUR CONTRACTORS REASONABLY PRICED?

Yes. All our contractors are very reasonably priced. None of our contractors are large corporations. They are all privately owned small businesses where the owner takes a direct interest in all work performed while keeping overheads and management costs at a bare minimum. As a result, the cost savings gets passed onto our clients. You can expect the highest quality of professional service at very reasonable prices for any job in your home, small or large.

WILL YOUR CONTRACTORS CHARGE ME HIGHER RATES?

No. Our contractors thoroughly understand that each client has many sources for finding a contractor. Our contractors want to earn your business and keep you as a lifelong customer. Therefore, they will ensure their prices are extremely competitive. The very nominal fee they pay to The End Result is part of their overall advertising budget and is paid by them from their profits and NOT passed on to our clients. Therefore, you can always expect the same job cost regardless of whether you found this same contractor yourself or the contractor was a referral from The End Result.

WHOM DO I PAY FOR THE WORK?

You will sign a contract directly with the contractor and/or will be invoiced directly by the contractor. You will pay the contractor directly for all work performed and all work will be guaranteed directly by the contractor.

HOW DOES THE END RESULT MAKE MONEY?

Our contractors pay us a very nominal fee to advertise for them. However, this fee is NOT passed on to our clients. Instead, our contractors pay this fee directly from their profits. Their simple business philosophy is that they would rather take reduced profits from a job they would not have otherwise had without The End Result rather than not having the job at all.
