Nov. 2, 2012 - PRLog -- We all know that our homes need maintenance as they age. Sometimes they need maintenance even in the early years of ownership. Whatever the age or stage, questions inevitably pop up: Who should we call? Who will do a good job, at a reasonable cost? Who is trustworthy? Do we know enough about the particular issue to know if we’re being quoted an equitable fee?

Enter HOCOA Triangle, the home repair network serving Durham, Orange, and Wake Counties, as well as the surrounding areas.

“HOCOA is designed to alleviate the stress and worry of home maintenance and repair,” says HOCOA President Rachel Bath, who also serves as Executive Vice President/Chief Financial Officer for award-winning M Squared Builders and Designers. “We enable home owners to make one local call to receive qualified, reliable contractors to take care of any problems concerning their homes. HOCOA Triangle hit the ground running in 2009. We’ve found it very rewarding to help people throughout the area.”

HOCOA is a complete referral service for all home repair and maintenance needs. No job is too big or too small for HOCOA. Contractors range from tree removal, handyman and remodeling services to painters, plumbers, electricians, HVAC professionals and much more.  The company is available to take live calls 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year, including holidays. Prompt response to fit the caller’s schedule is guaranteed. All contractors are local, pre-screened, and insured; their qualifications have been thoroughly reviewed via reference checks and performance records. Upon completion of the requested work, home owners receive a call from HOCOA to verify that the work was completed to their satisfaction and in a timely manner. In addition to the above services, members receive discounts like wholesale pricing on appliances, flooring, and cabinets. Even discount tickets to shows at the Durham Performing Arts Center are available through HOCOA. The best part? HOCOA membership is only $58 for one year, $89 for two years or $100 for three years!

“I joined HOCOA in 2009,” says Triangle resident Barbara Hardison. “I’ve worked with HOCOA contractors on seven or eight jobs already, and I’ve been nothing but pleased with each interaction. As a single female, I wish I’d known about HOCOA years ago… I’ve never known who to call for the little or the big jobs needed in and around my homes. HOCOA has made it a very easy process. I call them and tell them what I need; they have insured, trustworthy, expert contractors contact me promptly to give me estimates. I’m very happy with this service.”

Barbara has worked with HOCOA contractors on jobs as small as replacing a bathroom doorknob and exchanging a pantry bi-fold door to a standard door, to having trees removed that were a little too close to her home’s foundation and installing a drainage ditch along the length of her driveway to alleviate erosion due to heavy rains. She has also worked with HOCOA to install stonework throughout the natural areas in her yard.

“In that particular situation, the HOCOA contractor talked to me about what I liked; then he selected the materials for me,” says Barbara. “It was really nice – I didn’t have to spend time reviewing lots of choices – He knew just what I wanted through our conversation.”

Barbara had the exterior of her home power washed through HOCOA, along with painting of the exterior trim and staining of her front porch, screened porch, and deck, all with beautiful results. Her favorite HOCOA experience, however, has been the reorganization of her sewing room. “I called HOCOA and asked if they had a professional organizer,” Barbara comments. “They had an organizer contact me, an absolute jewel, who transformed the hodgepodge of bookcases and plastic containers in my bonus room into a wonderful workspace. She sketched out what she thought would work, and other HOCOA contractors installed shelving, cubbies, a closet, and new lighting. Then the organizer came back after the work was done and helped me organize the room! I just love it – I continue to be delighted every time I go in there.”

Another Triangle resident who has enjoyed the benefits of HOCOA membership is Real Estate Broker Krista Cutler of Cary-based Fathom Realty. “I joined HOCOA years ago in Charlotte,” says Krista. “I have rental property there, and I use HOCOA regularly to take care of ongoing maintenance needs. I was thrilled to find HOCOA in the Triangle. I give all of my clients a HOCOA membership as a closing gift. It’s an invaluable service.”

“I had a recent situation where HOCOA came to the rescue,” Krista continues. “A buyer client of mine had a home inspected and learned of a chimney problem. The seller’s Realtor® found a chimney sweep, but that individual couldn’t come in till after the closing of the home. I called HOCOA, and got a chimney sweep out immediately. And guess what? It was the same chimney sweep! He responded more quickly to HOCOA than to an ‘ordinary’ request. Now that’s service… I’m definitely a HOCOA fan.”

Originating in Charlotte in 1993, HOCOA has expanded over the years to areas as far reaching as Oklahoma, Michigan, and Florida, with many locations in between. Each location is locally owned and operated. Rachel Bath of HOCOA Triangle views her work as that of helping her neighbors here in the Triangle.
