A Planned, Professional Process That
Keeps You in Control
HOMEfree®’s one-stop, problem-solving process
covers all aspects of your home’s changing maintenance needs,
from seasonal chores; to replacement of structural and mechanical
systems; to refurbishment and restorative care.
Using proven project management techniques, a HOMEfree Specialist™ will
help you evaluate your home’s maintenance needs and make informed
decisions. We'll help define and translate your vision and expectations.
Then we'll manage the projects for you. This process follows four
basic phases:
| Phase
I |
Complete a baseline home inspection of your
home’s condition |
|
| Phase II |
Plan, prioritize, budget and schedule projects and maintenance
services |
|
| Phase III |
Implement planned project and maintenance services |
|
| Phase IV |
Develop an analysis of residence expenses over a 10-,
20- or 30-year period |
