Site enhancement makes it easier for homeowners and contractors to communicate and work together.
Denver, CO - May 23, 2007 - Taking on a home improvement or remodeling project just got easier thanks
to a new feature that allows homeowners to share photos of their projects with the contractors who are
bidding on them, announced BestContractors.com today.
"This is an easier way for homeowners and our member contractors to communicate on projects," said CEO
Mark Henninger. "Now a contractor can view photos from a homeowner to see what the project work site
looks like before setting foot inside the homeowner's house."
He used the example of a kitchen remodel to explain the value of this site enhancement: "Bidding contractors
can view a photo of a homeowner's kitchen to get a better idea of the project's scope and use it to provide
preliminary feedback. That homeowner might also upload a photo of a friend's recently remodeled kitchen to
give contractors an idea of the type of cabinetry, hardware, granite and lighting desired."
Henninger went on to describe the versatility of the feature. "You might be at your home improvement
store and, using your cell phone camera, snap a picture of a sink you want for your new kitchen. You can
then upload that photo on our site so that your contractor can include the sink in his materials list."
The site, located at http://www.BestContractors.com, has made user-friendly features a focus, especially
when it improves communication between homeowners and service professionals. That emphasis has earned
it praise from the public who have also embraced the company's "Predicated on Choice" philosophy of putting
decision-making in the hands of homeowners.
"We work hard to make sure our web site is one that people will want to come to for help with their home
projects, and once they're here they'll have a useful and pleasant experience," said Henninger. He noted the
positive word-of-mouth the company has received along with a healthy amount of return visits from homeowners.
This latest announcement highlights a busy time for the company. So far this year they have expanded their
service into San Diego, Ft. Lauderdale, Miami, Tampa, Sarasota, West Palm Beach and Atlanta with plans
to add more markets before year's end. Other markets they serve include Colorado, Minneapolis and
Dallas-Fort Worth.
