Add-On Services
Our Add-On Services are based on the unique needs of your home, and managed by a dedicated Home Manager
Depending on your home, you may need to deal with five or more different contractors in order to handle all of the work you want done. This means finding, scheduling, overseeing and ultimately paying multiple providers whom you may or may not know. We take all of the hassle out of this process by managing it for you. Just tell us which services you would like from a long list of options, and we will handle all of the details. We work with our trusted, vetted subcontractors, and all costs are rolled into your annual package. All you do is pay the one monthly bill you receive from Mantel Home Services and we take care of the rest!
If you do not see the service you need listed, just ask your Home Manager and we will take care of it for you.
