• HMR Outcomes

    We will admit that doing the “little things” that keep a home livable can almost escape notice since these maintenance tasks are generally visible only to the homeowner. And that’s ok, after all, it’s their well-being that we are addressing. But don’t ever think that “out of sight changes” to their home don’t have lasting effects . . . because you would be wrong.

     

    Here are just a few of the ways we provide outcomes that add to a homeowner's quality of life.

    Avoided Larger Repairs

    Repairs made early help avoid larger, more costly repairs later. By some estimates, every $1 dollar spent on preventative maintenance, avoids a larger, future expenditure of $100 in repairs.

    Prolonged Independence

    Home maintenance repairs can help keep a homeowner independent, and in their home longer. In fact, it has been shown that homeowners who receive repairs are nearly 3 times as likely to be able to age in their own homes.
