I had some three-way switches that weren't behaving. Porch sent a great young man from a local company and he fixed the problem quickly. Imagine having an electrician come to your house and work for 1 1/2 hours and only charge you $88. That is not just a great deal, it's a miracle and Porch made it happen.
He was very polite, considerate. He was on time. I explained where I wanted the curtain rods hung up & he got right to work. He was a fast worker. It did feel a tad warm in my home & I turned on the air conditioner for the 1st time this year!. It took a little doing to finally get an appointment arranged. I am so glad that they came today. I am definitely going to have them for any kind of maintenance problems that come up.

These guys called after my recent experience with a home inspection, little did I know that it wasn't going to be a phone call I could ignore. We talked about home insurance, and I had planned on keeping the insurance place I originally went through. However, after being on the phone I went through with getting a new quote, and boy, let me tell you it was worth it. They set me up with an extremely reasonable policy and even saved me $200 more a year by helping me find a different company. Thank you so much!
On Monday, August 16, 2021, I called Cris ** at Solo and asked him if he could move a pool table from Louisville to New Albany, IN, by Friday of the same week. Cris called Dave **, who drove with two coworkers from Cincinnati to Louisville on Friday, August 20, 2021, and moved the table in perfect condition to my home in New Albany. I deeply appreciate the professionalism of Cris, Dave, and Dave’s crew.
We had a really bad wind storm that ripped our rubber roof back a few feet. I got on Porch.com and advertised for the project to get done. Scymanski Enterprise Inc. called that same day. He had someone here to repair the roof the next day. They undid the original rubber roof, repaired the original decking,, stretched the rubber material and cemented it back down again. Added a drip edge and secured the roof so the wind couldn't get under it again.
Had serviceman scheduled 3-4 times and each time they cancelled after confirming time and dates. Had cancelled other service folks based on their communicating their appointments. They then cancelled a 4th time and said they could not deliver an electrician based on availability even after scheduling them. Learned my lesson to not use this company again. I give them credit though they communicated every failed upcoming appointment. One after another. Good luck if you choose to use their service.
Found the best home owners policy and price in minutes which saved me a lot of time. He followed up with a car insurance quote. Chris was friendly with no pressure. Thanks for being there with the right words and answers.
I asked several questions and he was able to answer all of them. Very nice person. Would have him do my home inspection again if I bought another home. I will definitely tell my friends about the well job he did. My husband was also very satisfied with him and would tell his friends
After a referral from Pottery Barn I scheduled 2 services with Porch. My appointment came and I realized 'scheduling' doesn't mean that a job is scheduled. After a week of emails and calls Porch 'booked' my appointment. I spoke with a representative to confirm. Today I made arrangements to be home and waited for someone from Porch to show up. I told our contractor this morning that he did not need to find someone to do the work because I had someone coming. It is an hour past my appointment and I finally got a call from Porch. I couldn't get through to Porch via their 'help' line. You get a busy signal if you try to call Porch.
Porch called in response to my three emails. They said they are 'very sorry.' They don't have someone to come. They didn't have someone last week and won't have someone next week. I was looking for a HANDYMAN!!! I could find someone faster than cheaper than Porch. Someone more responsible should set up the same type of business and actually make calls to find service providers. It's shocking that a respectable company like Pottery Barn refers to Porch.
Ruben was great and efficient. He was very transparent and made sure the TVs where exactly where I wanted them. He also had me checkout everything before leaving to ensure I was satisfied. He cleaned up after himself and was very customer friendly.
