We are delighted to announce that our company, 1-800 RID-OF-IT has just won a HomeStars ‘Best of 2013’ Award!  This coveted award goes to the one company in each category in our city that earned the highest reputation ranking last year, based on thousands of reviews made by homeowners on the homestars.com website.

These awards began in 2008 to distinguish the very best home improvement companies from the rest.  According to HomeStars Founder, Nancy Peterson, “We created the Best of Awards to recognize the best-of-the-best in each category.  These awards help us achieve our mission to be the most trusted source for homeowners so they can have the best home improvement experience – before, during and after the work is done.”

A special note to our valued customers:  If you took the time in 2013 to write a review on homestars.com about the service we provided you – a big thank you!  Because your review helped us win the award. And if you did not write a review yet, it would be greatly appreciated since it helps build our company’s online reputation.

I invite you to see all our homeowner reviews by going to www.Homestars.com and then typing
