Why You Should Avoid Referral Companies Some things you should know about referral companies such as www.servicemagic.com/ and why you should avoid using them when selecting a drywall repair contractor or any contractor for you home or business.



Referral companies charge contractors a monthly or annual fee to be members. When people call a referral company the company contacts several skilled trades members (at least 3) in that area to give the caller an
estimate. Keep in mind that each contractor that agrees to bid the job is going to pay a referral fee.


When the contractor agrees to go bid the drywall repair job servicemagic.com charges the contractor from $35.00 and up for the referral. This process is done on every job for each contractor and by the time the contractor figures out that it's a loosing proposition he or she has spent hundreds of dollars that could have been better used in effective advertising.


The problem with using a referral company is that they are being paid for the referrals by each contractor that they send to your home and do not care who they send. All they care about is the bottom line. They do not check out the qualifications, experience or even references of the contractors nor do they know them personally. Absolutely no type of criminal background check has been done on any of these contractors.


Another problem is that the referral company will send as many contractors to your home as you like. The more the merrier for them! Only one contractor will get the job, the others have wasted a $35.00 referral fee not to mention gas and time to estimate the job.


There are many well known referral companies in The US. The basic operation of these companies is always the same no matter how good they make their service sound their only concern or goal is making money and it doesn't matter weather it's from you or the contractor!
