Want the Uber of Home Services or Home Improvement? Check the Fees to make sure you get aren't blindsided!

The basic and and easy answer to why Baltimore Startup EFynch saves your money.


Baltimore, MD: When looking at that image (below), it is clear to see why EFynch members are able to obtain some of the lowest prices. There is little known secret within the Online Home Services Industry and we are changing that.

Basically, other guys- many with the same options we offer Maryland, D.C. and Virginia homeowners- take a S__T ton of money- that is the "easy answer".

Rates Calculated on information collected on 6/12/17. Information on the calculations can be found here.




As a former contractor who still does some handyman work from time to time- this could be one of the biggest problems I have with online groups in our industry. Most handyman have to either pay these exorbitant fees or pay high, up front, online advertisers (because home improvement is competitive). EFynch is meant to offer easy and free access to bid on jobs for this contractor, and capture the opportunity of the competitive nature- giving the homeowner the savings.

And results are clear, here is the cost for TV Installations in the Baltimore Area.






For the record- Online platforms are expensive to develop and require regular maintenance. They bring efficiency to our lives and add convenience and therefore a value.  Uber is successful in the Freelance Economy because the benefits they bring help both riders and passengers.

So, you can spend half a day calling around to get bids, explain/ re-explain your problem and meet with countless contractors BUT- there are better ways. Unfortunately for our competition- we are the better way!

Next week we cover "Pay Per Lead"- a popular payment system among sales sites.

The Big Fuzzy Bumble Bee- What are they? Do they Hurt? How to Kill them.

 EFynch is a handyman and homeowner community board based in Baltimore, Maryland. We provide advice, guidance, and help facilitate communications so, as a homeowner, you can manage any project like a pro! (Baltimore, MD ) Every spring my home is flooded with big, bumbling, furry, clumsy bees. It literally looks like the early stages of some biblical catastrophe. When I first saw them, I didn't know what to do. They'd swarm, swoop, dive, and worst of all- they were living behind my gutters and in my deck digging holes in the wood! I immediately turned to social media where, just as expected, I received a host of conflicting information in which each respondent was more sure than the previous one. So, I rolled up my sleeves, put on my reading glasses and after intense research I compiled the information below and I hope this helps. Grab your tennis rackets and a can of WD-40, because we're in for a wild safari! 1. What are they? They are commonly known as wood

Shovel your driveway for convenience. Shovel the sidewalk or be FINED!

By: Teris Pantazes of EFynch.com Timonium, MD: After every snowstorm you will ultimately hear the scrape of distant shovels and snowblowers. These are your good neighbors who are out clearing their driveways in order to avoid busting their Phisteris' or just taking a terrible slip.  But I have to tell you, it doesn't end there. As a dog owner (actually, 2 mutts in my household!), I take them out for an stroll every evening. I constantly encounter a lack of sidewalk clearing and because I don't want to be a nosy neighbor, I politely trudge through the snow risking my own demise. Therein lies a problem because without resolution, you are opening yourself to fines and even worse, HOMEOWNER LIABILITY. I live in Baltimore County. But, I have also managed properties in Prince George's, Montgomery, Anne Arundel, Baltimore City, and Washington D.C.  I can tell you without any hesitation of doubt that within each and these jurisdictions- THE SIDEWALK IS THE HOMEOWNERS

Hire a Handyman- Risk Identity Theft- The Pay Per Lead Industry you don't know exists

Image
Baltimore, MD: You've seen the ads on TV. By using that service the trusted home repair advisor who has made the "list" is only a click away. Your home improvement/ handyman fears are now diminished and the smiling (sometimes made up) personality is assuring your comfort. However, there is a glaring problem and it has to do with profits and the security of your personal information.  *The "Before We Start Disclaimer": Not every online home improvement company does what I am about to describe but, it is prevailant. It generates fast and easy income and even us at EFynch had once been heavily advised to participate. But in truth, it is simply sleazy (IMO)- we are not participating in this practice. Pay Per Lead is the horrible and deceptive practice that even the well-known brands in home improvement use. They collect your information (often without your knowledge) and then sell it to local contractors. Sometimes for a hefty fee and without your kno
