Cease and Desist Rental companies are screaming “Cease and Desist” at us. Why are HVAC Rentals bad for homeowners? It’s simple math. Equipment is amortized over 15 years with up to 3.5% compounded annual rental increases built in - how does that look over the term? Water heater at $35/month - $9157 with hst Furnace+Air Conditioner at $200/month - $52,329 with hst They tell you that maintenance is included? When was the last time you received maintenance? They tell you repairs are included- how often has your equipment needed to be repaired, and are these repairs really worth the fee you’re paying? They tell you that you will get priority service- that really means you can only allow them to touch the equipment and it’s going to be when they are available.

In the home improvement industry, convenience is key. Homeowners often seek extensive solutions that address multiple needs at once, reducing the hassle of coordinating with multiple contractors. To meet this demand, savvy roofing businesses are now offering bundle deals that include gutter and siding services, providing a holistic approach to exterior home maintenance. Bundling roofing, gutter, and siding services not only streamlines the renovation process but also enhances the overall customer experience. By offering these combined services, contractors can position themselves as a one-stop shop for all exterior home repairs. Benefits of Bundle Deals: 1. Increased Customer Convenience: Clients appreciate the ease of dealing with one contractor for multiple services, which simplifies scheduling and project management. 2. Enhanced Customer Satisfaction and Retention: Delivering a comprehensive service package enhances the customer experience, increasing satisfaction and encouraging long-term loyalty. 3. Cost Efficiency: Bundled services can be priced more attractively compared to sourcing each service separately, offering financial benefits to both the homeowner and the contractor. 4. Competitive Edge: Offering a one-stop solution differentiates your business in a crowded market, making it more appealing to potential clients looking for efficient and comprehensive care. Implementing Effective Bundle Deals: 1. Clearly Define Service Packages: Offer well-defined bundle options that are easy for customers to understand and choose from based on their needs. 2. Marketing Strategy: Promote your bundled services through all your marketing channels, highlighting the convenience, cost savings, and quality of work. 3. Training and Cross-Skilling: Ensure your teams are trained across all services offered in the bundle, maintaining high standards of quality and efficiency. 4. Feedback and Flexibility: Listen to customer feedback on these packages and be flexible in adjusting them to meet evolving needs. By offering bundled roofing, gutter, and siding services, your business not only meets a broader range of customer needs but also enhances its marketability and growth potential. Embrace this strategy to provide value-packed deals that will attract more clients and keep them coming back. #HomeImprovement #RoofingBusiness #CustomerSatisfaction #OneStopShop

One thing I won't stop telling new homeowners? Budget for repairs and replacements. Taking this advice early in homeownership can be a lifesaver down the road. Here are some notes I’ve shared with my buyers — I’ve updated it with life span estimates, 2024 replacement costs, and monthly savings goals. Roof  Life span: 20 years  Average replacement cost: $9,353 Savings plan: Save $20 - $40/month HVAC/Furnace  Life span: 15-20 years Average replacement cost: $7,500 (replace both at once to save) Savings plan: Save $10 - $30/month Smoke Detectors  Life span: 8 years Average replacement cost: $20 - $50 each  Savings plans: Replace one detector each year. Wood Deck  Life span: 10-15 years Average replacement cost: $4,100 - $11,700 Savings plan: Save $20 - $50/month Washer and Dryer  Life span: 10-15 years Average replacement cost: $1,000 to $2,300 per set Savings plan: Save $10 - $50/month per appliance Stashing funds away in a High-Yield Savings Account (HYSA) each month can give your savings an extra interest boost. Plus, platforms like Ally let you set up 'buckets' for each savings goal. Even if you can’t save for all of these at once, start a general home repair fund.  Plus, I've created a tracker that will help you manage it all. Just shoot me a message, and I’ll send over my Homeowner Maintenance Tracker.  How Much Does Roof Replacement Cost in 2024? | Angi Cost to Replace Furnace and Air Conditioning [2024 Data] | Angi Deck Replacement and Repair Costs [2024 Data] | Angi How Much Does a Washer and Dryer Cost?
