What inspired you to launch your own website?
I feel that there was a need to provide homeowners with pre-screened contractors. Homeowners receive the security of knowing that all of the contractors have been screened for quality, price, references, customer service, licenses, better business, and consumer affairs.
Contractors that get through our screening process pay a small referral fee that they can write off as an advertising expense and receive pre-qualified leads.

My first website was called Handyman Referral Club and it lauched about 2 years ago.

We Provide local air conditioning services in Arizona as well as an air conditioning referral service for the lower 48 States. Somewhere down the road we may offer home referral services for all of the different trades. Like a one stop shop for ALL your home service needs. With that in mind, we decided on the name A/C Handyman.
