In fact, the properties on either side of the house are commercial - one a house that was converted to a nursery school some years ago, and on the other side, a former gas station that is now major wireless carrier's cell phone store. 

Thank you for the tip 🤝

However, for this property, we'd like to outsource that service.Any tips would be helpful.
