Amazon now offering home services - looks interesting

[Account Closed]

I was just about to sign into Amazon and they are introducing a new home service, where you can get guaranteed work done including cleaning, landscaping, handyman, electrical, plumbing, etc.  Haven't read the entire deal yet, but was thinking this might be nice for landlords who want to handle their own management.

Just like any other home service provider including homeadvisor.com.  Keep in mind these companies typically contract with large contractors and large contractors with 100s of service vehicles cost MONEY.  Great if your in the service providing industry and need new/more clients.  As a landlord/contractor I would never call them for work on my home/rental.  I recently dealt with a plumbing contractor from a large home warranty company and they recommended a repair for $290 which I was able to get done for under $200 and included other work at residence.  They even quoted $500 for a garbage disposal replacement which I get done for about $180.  Your best bet is to use google maps and locate a small ma and pa company in the area or get referrals from other landlords.
