One handyman,One Call Home Preservation,  really put in the extra effort to let us know what they are about and what services they provide.  So, I thought we should highlight them to let you know what they are all about.  I noticed they are offering a coupon for repairs on their website.  It’s an extensive repair list which is great for all of you Cobb County homeowners!  The following is straight from One Home Preservation’s owner Rod Vodjdani-

“As a long-time homeowner and a landlord I understand both the time and cost involved with keeping one of your biggest investments in tip top shape.  All too often minor “fixes” lead to major repairs.   My prices are negotiable and can be adjusted based on the volume we do together.  We cover Atlanta all the way to North Georgia.  Once you get to know me better, you will realize that I am looking for a long-term relationship with you and not a one time sales job.  Therefore, I will work with you to get the job done in the most cost effective and timely manner as possible.  With only one call to us and the list of your tasks and your approval we will have the property ready for you to put it back on the market.  Please check us out at  www.onecallhp.com and also our page in FaceBook at www.facebook.com/OneCallHomePreservation for our customer’s reviews.”
