DIY do-over or dreaming, enter the #FixMyHouseSweeps from ServiceMaster

If you own a home there is a great chance that you’ve worked with ServiceMaster in one way or the other. The first home that I bought came with a warranty from American Home Shield that covered the component in the house like the plumbing, electrical, HVAC and much more. At our current home we’ve used Merry Maids and Terminix ensures that termites don’t think of the wood in our house as a snack. ServiceMaster is the parent company of these, as well as, AmeriSpec, Furniture Medic, SericeMaster Clean, ServiceMaster Restore and are having a contest for $2,000 in GE appliances each week through July 6 and a Grand Prize Drawing for $5,0000 in Home Depot gift cards.

 

Either of those prizes would go a long way toward either improving or renovating your home. When it comes to home repairs and renovations it’s important to know your limitations. According to a study done by ServiceMaster they discovered that 58% were unprepared to address any issues, 54% weren’t knowledgeable on how to fix it and 83% said that they wanted one resource that could fix everything.

Personally, I know not to even attempt electrical or plumbing.  I learned that through trial and error, mainly error. It’s always been safe, but the results did not have the professional appearance that you want.  Do you have a DIY project that didn’t turn out the way that you wanted it to? Do you have a project at the house that needs to be done?

Either way just take a photo of it and share it to ServiceMaster’s Facebook page. Be sure  to tag it #FixMyHouseSweeps and you are entered.
