Tell us a little about HomeSmiles.
HomeSmiles is dedicated to providing comprehensive annual property maintenance services. We tackle essential home maintenance tasks that often get overlooked, such as gutter cleaning, pressure washing, dryer vent cleaning, and many more. Our goal is to create safer, healthier homes for every client by addressing deferred maintenance and “honey-do” items.
Where and how did you get started in this type of business?
I started HomeSmiles Eugene as a natural extension of my passion for community welfare and public health. After spending over two decades in public service, focusing on water supply and treatment, maintaining public infrastructure, and safeguarding public safety, I decided to transition to a business that aligns with my commitment to maintaining safe and healthy environments. This led me to HomeSmiles, where I can leverage my expertise to help homeowners.
What services do you offer and what makes HomeSmiles unique?
We offer a wide range of property maintenance services, completed in a single appointment, to ensure homes are safe and well-maintained. Our services include window washing, flushing water heaters, gutter cleaning, pressure washing, dryer vent cleaning, and many more. Additionally, we perform home water safety checks, and smoke and carbon monoxide alarm checks. What makes HomeSmiles unique is our comprehensive approach and our commitment to addressing deferred maintenance and “honey-do” items in a single visit, providing convenience and peace of mind for homeowners. By taking care of these essential tasks, we help bring happiness home with easy maintenance and give homeowners valuable time back to spend with their families.
What do you like most about this work?
What I enjoy most about this work is the opportunity to make a tangible difference in people’s lives. Ensuring that homes are safe and well maintained helps prevent potential hazards and improves the overall well being of our clients. It’s rewarding to see the positive impact our services have on the community and to know that we are giving homeowners more time to enjoy with their families.
Do you have any advice for others?
My advice for others would be to find a career or business that aligns with your passion and values. When you are genuinely committed to what you do, it shows in your work and the positive outcomes you achieve. Also, always prioritize building strong relationships and delivering exceptional service.
Anything else you’d like to share?
I am grateful for the opportunity to lead HomeSmiles Eugene and work with a dedicated team to serve our community. I believe in the power of collaboration and continuous improvement, and I am always looking for ways to enhance our services and expand our impact.
