Hello from MD!

Hey everyone, and hello from the state of Maryland! 👋

We’re The Good Life Company, a small, family-owned home improvement company specializing in outdoor living projects like decks, patios, fences, roofing, and more.

We got started with a pretty simple goal which was to build a company that homeowners could feel comfortable working with and one where "our family could help bring yours together". We wanted to bring a more personal, honest approach to the contractor industry and show that communication matters just as much as the finished project. So far, we’re incredibly grateful for every homeowner who has trusted us with their home.

As a small business, we’re always learning and looking for ways to grow while still keeping that personal, family-business feel.

Our question for the Community: What is one thing you’ve done that has made the biggest difference in growing your small business without losing the personal touch that helped you get started?

We’d love to hear what has worked for you!

Welcome to the Community, @goodlife—we are so happy to have you here. I love your story and your mission to build a family owned company that helps bring your community together! I grew up working in a dry cleaners that my great grandmother had started over 50 years earlier and I have the fondest memories of working with my family and getting to know the folks in my city.

I'm tagging in some of our Thumbtack Pro Advisors who may have some great tips for growing a business while keeping that personal touch. @ShaquealThomas @AR2i @Bretdouglas67@Bretdouglas @busyb @amccarthy @MaidThis_SLC @Chuva @ClayRiser @CodyRisner @AntilleanRestoration @callargo @Jack_Marquardt @Juliano_50 @Nick_Bennett @PhilZDPDX @Bkhomeservice @Cliff @TechExpert @SheilaHarris @Frederick_Haywood @JWC @Jonathan_Stickland @kdiddy01 @AR2i @DreamClean @MarlonC @Shanez_Padgett

As the owner, I love to take phone calls into the office every day. Even if it is just a couple. Helps keep you connected to their concerns, their needs, and remind you who you work for.
