Who we are

We live here.

We are Sarah and Rodney, with 25+ years in Grand County.

Grand County works a little differently, and we help owners through the local details. When a job needs a specialist, we call trades we already know and troubleshoot first, so they arrive with the right parts.

  • We know your property. Shutoffs, access instructions and property information are on file before you need them.
  • Parts on the shelf. Common repair parts and supplies are kept at our shop in Granby, subject to what’s in stock.
  • Trades we already know. We have working relationships with the local vendors Grand County properties need.

We stay small on purpose, which keeps costs down.

Neighbor On Call

Local support for your home when you can’t be local.

From $100/month.

Repairs and on-site work are billed when used.

  • After-hours support for members
  • Local contacts for your permit
  • Repair and trade coordination
  • Member pricing on field work

FOR SHORT-TERM RENTALS

Hospitality is part of the job.

When a cleaner no-showed on a check-in day, we brought fresh linens, helped finish the turn and gave the guests a gift card for dinner in town while the house was finished.

The guest does not care whose fault it was. They care whether someone takes responsibility and works out what is possible.
