ARS Contracting

Company Overview

We prioritize our customers and we work hard to offer reasonable prices. We cannot significantly decrease our prices because of the costs involved in running a business. When we find individuals facing hardships, we do our best to help; we focus on people, not just profits. Everyone faces challenges, and a lot of businesses see only dollar signs. We believe in a different philosophy. Occasionally, we encounter clients that don’t meet the criteria for our assistance program, because I must comply with certain regulations. After they share their circumstances, we work together to develop a strategy that makes sure they have access to essential services. This could include a payment plan, a loan, or a sliding scale rate. Sadly, we cannot bring our prices down too much because of the expenses associated with materials and labor, but we find a way to accommodate our clients while ensuring our business remains sustainable. This allows us to continue helping and doing what we love.

We are a women-owned business, and my father contributed before he passed; he was a veteran. We take great pride in our craftsmanship, and many on my team view their work as a form of art. We strive to make a difference in every way we can.

My path began as an independent contractor, because I faced homelessness and couldn’t find a conventional job. I decided to take on side jobs. I would ride my bicycle everywhere, carrying a backpack filled with essential tools for home improvement and gardening. Slowly, I attracted consistent clients for gardening, window services, and administrative projects. After almost a year of being homeless and toting that bag of tools, I finally found stable housing. I have continued to take on side jobs ever since. My passion for helping others makes this work fulfilling. That’s the reason I established a low-income program when I grew my small job into a company. This program is designed for families who cannot afford standard repairs like most others can. I hope to one day separate that aspect and create a nonprofit to help at no cost.
