If you’re like us, quarantine has affected you one of two ways: You’re either renovating your entire house and picking up 5 new hobbies, or you’ve put everything on your to-do list on hold.

Because home repairs can wait, right? And you’re not sure if it’s safe to have another human in your house, fixing your AC unit right now. Wrong.

While avoiding crowded public places is still very much recommended, it’s not a good idea to put a needed repair or maintenance on hold for an extended period.

That’s why local company Preferred Home Services is taking extra precautions to ensure the safety of their customers during home service visits. Every truck carries waterless soap, hand sanitizer + surface wipes for frequent cleaning of hands, tools + surfaces. They’re also taking cues from their customers and are more than happy to wear a mask, distance themselves and not offer a hello handshake if the customer isn’t comfortable. With all these precautions in place, customers can feel safe setting up needed service visits.
