Best Kept Home

Do you ever wonder how you'll get it all done? Spring is here and help has arrived -- at least for all your home maintenance worries!

Two moms with a passion and talent for household maintenance and repair have joined forces to create a woman friendly handyman service, Best Kept Home, LLC.

"As women, we typically hold the major influence in the care of our homes. Even with our busy lives and multiple commitments, we often enjoy that extra responsibility" says Margie Nugent, co-owner of Best Kept Home, LLC and mother of two. "What we don't enjoy is missed appointments, unfulfilled promises and lack of proper communication. We intend to bring a much needed woman's touch to the industry by raising the bar for accessibility, responsiveness, and superior customer service. As we see it, it's a privilege to be trusted with your home".

"I always used to struggle with who to call for my list of mismatched repairs" says Michele Campbell, co-owner and mother of one teenaged daughter. "I wanted to be able to make one call and have it all taken care of, and I knew many women who felt the same frustration. That's how we came up with our business concept. We will take care of anything you need around the house -- change hard to reach light bulbs, install cat doors, and" she adds with a grin, "finish almost anything your husband started."

Best Kept Home, LLC is a full-service handyman business committed to superior customer service, high quality craftsmanship, fully ethical business practices, and continuous service to community. Services include, but are not limited to, carpentry, painting, exterior maintenance, and general household repairs. The company is fully licensed, bonded and insured.

For additional information and to set an appointment: 914-666-4BKH (4254) info@bestkepthome.com.

Special sneak preview rates are available until the end of June 2006 while the company puts the finishing touches on their Mount Kisco-based operation.

Margie Nugent, a formally trained designer, who has a knack for keeping jobs moving and customers satisfied, has spent the past seven years involved in the lives of her residential clients, either during transitions between homes, as a certified moving consultant, or in helping them maintain and transform their homes, as office manager for a local home services company.

Michele Campbell has nearly ten years experience running multi-million dollar construction projects for corporate and institutional clients such as Avon Products, Amerada Hess Corporation, and the New York Botanical Garden, as well as for private residential clients in Connecticut and the Hamptons. She is a former member of the prestigious NYC consulting firm Levien and Co.

Gift certificates make great gifts...take care of Mom's list for her!
