Decision fatigue? Text your radically convenient homeowner advocate

How this savvy homeowner efficiently lowered stress and avoided wasteful spending when deciding what to do with an aging roof

“I was frustrated, stressed, fed up, and confused,” shared Susan Marandett. As a mother of 3, an accomplished estate attorney, and 3-time homeowner, Susan is organized, experienced, and more than capable of critical analyses. When Susan saw moss on her cedar roof, she wanted to do the right thing for her home. Unfortunately, Susan didn’t know what that “right thing” was.

Realizing that expertly booking the right roofing services would take time, effort, and specialized knowledge, Susan resourcefully texted Wellesley Home Hero for help. “Different roofers were proposing different services. Estimates were coming in as low as $1,500 … and as high as $200,000!” Susan remarked. “I hired Wellesley Home Hero to help me easily figure out what I should do.”

With me representing her, Susan enjoyed delegated outreach and proposal analyses for however long her decision-making might take – in this case, 2 months. Susan offloaded a major investment of time and mental energy by having me drive her booking as if it were my own. I personally invested hours interviewing roofers Susan had already contacted, creatively booked a visit with star Wellesley realtor Melissa Dailey to help Susan incorporate unbiased resale perspectives, and summarized the pros and cons of 4 potential paths. One path that Susan hadn’t considered – replacement with asphalt – ended up being the right one. Susan remarked: “I’m not a roofer, and I would have otherwise replaced cedar with cedar.”

Before ultimately deciding, Susan received a custom pricing comparison matrix, so she could quickly evaluate the 2 highest-potential proposals among dozens of options:

As Susan’s “Home Hero,” I helped her overcome decision fatigue not just on 2 obvious questions – who should she hire and when should she do potential roofing work – but also on several others: repair or replace? what specific cedar or asphalt material? what about copper sections, accents, and coatings? how to get good value? and how to evaluate proposal factors beyond price? Reviewing her first expert-led booking, Susan shared that Wellesley Home Hero was "spectacular."

Your guidance saved me time, stress, and money. And was worth much more than I paid.
