You never know when something will go wrong in your home: a pipe bursts, your heater goes out on the coldest day of winter, a storm destroys your roof (which many of us in Northwest Arkansas are all too familiar with this year).

For homeowners in Northwest Arkansas, it’s absolutely essential for you to proactively build a network of trusted subcontractors you can call when you need something fixed in your home. Instead of calling the first number that pops up on Google when you need something repaired or serviced urgently, allow NWA Look to arm you with key professionals in our area.

Calling ahead, getting quotes, and building your network of subcontractors before disaster strikes could save you thousands of dollars.

1. Plumbers

Water intrusion is one of the biggest costs for homeowners (mold, flooding, etc.), which is why you should be protected by trusted and reasonably-priced plumbers in NWA. Allow us to help you find a low-cost option.

Who We Suggest:

Benefits of Preventative Maintenance:

  • Preventative Maintenance: Regular inspections can catch issues early, saving you from costly emergency repairs.
  • Increased Home Value: Well-maintained plumbing systems enhance your home’s resale value.

2. HVAC Specialists

We’ve all been there: the AC goes out when the temperature outside is in the triple digits, and then naturally, the heater goes out on the very coldest day of the winter. With the turbulent weather of NWA, knowing who to call for your HVAC needs is crucial.

Who We Suggest:

Benefits of Preventative Maintenance:

  • Energy Efficiency: Routine checks can lower energy bills by ensuring your system runs optimally.
  • Cost Savings on Replacements: Addressing small issues promptly can avoid the high costs associated with complete system replacements.

3. Electricians

Electrical issues pose the greatest risk for fires in your home. Malfunctioning electrical systems are one of the leading causes of home fires. Preventative maintenance and calling a trusted electrician when you suspect or smell electrical issues could be essential to keeping your home and family safe.

Who We Suggest:

Benefits of Preventative Maintenance:

  • Avoiding Hazardous Situations: Preventing electrical fires or other dangerous situations can save lives and costly damages.
  • Increased Home Value: Properly installed and updated electrical systems make your home more attractive to potential buyers.

4. Roofers

In recent years, due to rising costs and changes in insurance practices, roofing has become one of the hottest topics in real estate and home maintenance. Leaks in your home can be indicative of faulty roofs, mold, or rot that you’ll want to get ahead of before you’re dealing with major damage.

Many roofing companies will come inspect your roof for free before or after a major storm or incident and give you a quote. Here’s who we’d call.

Who We Suggest:

Benefits of Preventative Maintenance:

  • Extended Roof Life: Routine maintenance can prolong the lifespan of your roof, delaying the need for costly replacements.
  • Insurance Compliance: Regular inspections can help maintain compliance with insurance policies, potentially lowering premiums.

Conclusion

Cultivating a reliable network of subcontractors isn’t just about convenience; it’s about safety for your home and family, not to mention potentially saving tens of thousands of dollars. Being proactive, calling ahead, getting quotes, and getting to know trusted professionals in NWA can give you peace of mind, keep you safe, and save you money.
