Home Improvement Help-Blog
After months of searching for the right one, I finally found it! It was a beautiful historic Victorian home in Northern New Jersey. Built in the late 1800’s my dream house had a long way to go to become a dream. I had to repaint the exterior and interior, fix certain patches in the roof, rebuild the porch and redesign the functional obsolescence of the floor plan by knocking down some walls and adding a bathroom. It was a contractor’s dream; a great little fixer upper with lots of charm and many things to be revamped. I enlisted my search of an interior designer, plumber, roofer, carpenter and bathroom designer with 123contractorquotes.com. Where else could someone find one stop service finder with every home improvement category under the sun? 123contractorquotes.com provided me with free estimates and up to 4 professionals in each category I was looking for. It was easy as 1-2-3. I am beginning to round up my estimates and comparing the different service offers and will let you know. Stay continued as the dream house makeover is to be continued….
Finding the Right Contractors-Blog

Since Spring has come and gone and my Spring “cleaning” was not done, I was facing a messy abode. I needed to get my gutters cleaned, have my AC checked and possibly clean the air ducts, fix a couple outlets that were not working properly, and some various odds and ends. I wrote out my “To Do” list and then realized, “Who is going to do the work?” I had to find some people and find them fast. I picked up my twenty pound yellow book, otherwise known as the yellow pages and went to work. I started with getting my gutters cleaned. Well, needless to say I had no idea where to look and shuffled through the pages for forty minutes until I got frustrated and gave up. No wonder the yellow pages are becoming obsolete. The next night I tried my search again, this time with an A/C contractor and on yellowpages.com. After some search I called numerous contractors that popped up in my search according to my area and what I needed. I had no luck, either they could not come give me an estimate, could not be reached or were not available to do the work. Once again, frustrated, I gave up. As I was venting to one of my coworkers the next day about my unlucky search for various contractors, he told me what he had done. Used a service online called 123contractorquotes.com. He said they were great and best of all FREE! You went to their website and gave them a general idea of what you were looking for and they matched the contractors to you, up to four. This was four people who were willing to the jobs I needed and I only had to take two minutes to fill out general info and my home improvements were as good as done. Well I went home that night and bee lined for my computer and went to 123contractorquotes.com. I filled out a simple form that took less than 2 minutes and within 24 hours I was contacted by people who wanted to do the jobs I needed to have done and would give me free estimates. To think I took almost two hours searching on my own. I would highly recommend 123contractorquotes.com for anyone needing any sort of home improvement. They match you exactly to what you are looking for and for free!
