Consumer Spending Behavior Favors Launch of New Cityblock Home Service in Arizona
(PRWEB) July 30, 2007 -- Homeowners in the Phoenix Metropolitan area spend more on home maintenance than they do on personal care products and beauty treatments. According to a U.S. Census report on consumer spending habits, the average homeowner in Phoenix spends $984 a year on household operations. Included in these expenditures are bills for repairs done by contractors, handymen, or for the materials a homeowner buys for a 'do it yourself' project'. These home maintenance expenditures are almost 48% higher than the $666 that an average Phoenix area homeowner spends on personal care products, cosmetics, and trips to the barber and salon. As a result, companies like Cityblock Home are launching new services for handyman and air conditioning repair to meet this consumer demand.
"This spending pattern really reflects the priority that people place on their homes," said Craig Mathews, Marketing Director for Cityblock Home. "We specifically launched Cityblock Home to appeal to time stressed homeowners who want to enjoy their home, but don't have the time to maintain it themselves." Cityblock Home offers air conditioning, heating and handyman services to homeowners throughout the East Valley of the Phoenix metropolitan area.
Cityblock Home is a service extension of Cityblock, a commercial construction and building services company located in Tempe, Arizona. "We had commercial clients ask us for years about offering our air conditioning and repairmen for residential services," said Doug Deyo, Company President, "we are glad that we can now do that."
Cityblock Home anticipates that the hot Phoenix summers will keep their air conditioning technicians busy all summer, but that other services will keep people using their service year round. Mathews stated, "We have a number of services that people need all the time. In addition to our handyman services, we offer Realtors and home sellers a special service to get their properties ready for sale. We will also be promoting energy awareness, as well as helping people getting their homes ready for seasonal changes."
