From what I've seen (especially in markets like Phoenix and San Antonio), it's often a matter of alignment rather than luck.Make Your Property a No-Brainer: ALE primarily works with displaced families - think floods, fires, or other home damages.

Houses that sustained fire events have long term consequences including structural damage and mold that results from water intrusion required to extinguish the fire.

The home is just a block away, in the Sanctuary, but not technically ski in/ski out. 

Do damage to the industry as a whole. 

Quote from @Ana Mills: The high quotes for the electricians will be way cheaper than having your handyman do it and it causing damage, causing a fire, or even worse causing a fire later when someone is living there and that person/persons getting hurt because of the work being done by an unlicensed worker doing the work. 

They want to hear from a local down the block, not a fake company.

This sewer line runs under 2 of the other subdivided lots that were intended to have houses on them about 400' away and ties into a city main 1 block away from the houseOct 2008 - I purchase the home and everything is great, assuming all is per plan.2010 - Developer sells one of the lots that my sewer runs under to the water district for a future clean water well site.
