Taking the headache out of Homeownership: Home Care
Home Care is a very different approach to home improvement. The nearest comparison is a handyman. But rather than you calling one out to fix things once they’re broken, Home Care provides a flexible schedule of preventative maintenance. By grouping the work together, Caulk, Putty & Paint can save you about 50% on the same number of calls to a handyman service. And if you compare the Home Care approach to traditional remodeling (like we see advertised on T.V. or online) the savings jump near 90%.
The goal of Home Care is to take the headache out of homeownership. Through 6 scheduled appointments, your home is looked after from top to bottom, inside and out: preventing costly repairs. Each visit we’ll discuss the state of your home, any problem areas you’ve noticed, tackle the work for the day, and do a little planning for our next trip out.

Value Comparison
Now, we’re sure you’re wondering how Caulk, Putty and Paint stacks up against other companies running home improvement ads. So, let’s take a look and compare the cost of Home Care versus having 10 quality replacement windows installed. Ten good windows (with a good warranty) installed by a medium sized company will run you somewhere in the neighborhood of $15,000.
For that same sum of money, you can have your ENTIRE home cared for by Caulk, Putty & Paint for nearly 15 years! We tackle the parts of your home that a lot of companies enjoy charging an arm and a leg for. Believe it not, a number of the big-ticket items in your home are actually designed to be repairable and last for a very long time. You just have to know your way around the situation.
When we decided to come to market, we knew we had to make something different. We couldn’t tell you how many people just hate dealing with home improvement pros. It’s not because their bad people. One homeowner actually told us it’s because they don’t have any clue about home improvement stuff. It made them feel anxious and defensive because no matter how good a deal was, they could never truly know. So, they always rolled the dice and take the lowest bid.
Here, we found our starting point.
As a company, we want to build something that will last, and almost more importantly, something to enjoy. We don’t want there to be a big stress about missing out on a one-day deal. Nobody likes that. We all know the biggest deal is what you have going on inside and around your home. It’s actually the people and activities. That’s what every home improvement project is designed to enhance and protect.
The same way insurance helps you recover after disaster strikes; Home Care addresses the countless wear and tear items that insurance does not. When your friends ask you why you’re not worried about your home… What keeps it in such good shape? You can just smile and say: a little Caulk, Putty and Paint. 😉
