Columbus, Ohio (PRWEB) May 19, 2015 -- Since Central Ohio consumers are looking for companies to help with planting, home repairs and improvements during this time of year, BBB created a one-stop, home improvement microsite to provide resources for planning projects and finding trustworthy companies, all found at bbbhomehelp.com.
Over the past month, consumers have gone to bbb.org to search for trustworthy home improvement contractors. Construction & remodeling, plumbing, roofing and landscape contractors are among the top ten list of most inquired about businesses with over 19,000 Business Reviews requested by consumers. The most inquired about businesses by roster view include roofing contractors, concrete contractors, lawn maintenance, electricians, painting contractors, plumbers, general contractors and fence contractors.
“It is shaping up to be a very busy season for landscapers and home improvement contractors,” explains Joan Coughlin, VP of Marketing and Public Relations at BBB serving Central Ohio. “With summer just around the corner, homeowners are searching for reliable businesses, and we know how important it is that we had a helpful, easy way for consumers to find local, trustworthy businesses. That is why bbbhomehelp.com was created.”
Consumers are encouraged to visit bbbhomehelp.com for suggestions on how to avoid home improvement scams, how to get the best value for their money, and to check out reliable contractors before starting work.
