AESTARGas smell, smoke, anyone hurt
Ava follows the 911 rule before anything else.
For handyman businesses
Five small jobs, one visit, booked while you work.
Handyman calls come with lists. Ava writes down every item, gives your hourly rate or your fixed prices, and books a visit long enough to get it all done.
