Construction-Savvy Local Resident Begins New Career with House Doctors

(West Palm Beach, FL)---Trust. It’s an integral part of any relationship and the trait people seek out above all others before aligning themselves with another individual or organization. West Palm Beach resident Tom Wila not only shares this mindset but made sure his new business, House Doctors, was committed to it as well.

For 16 years, Wila supervised various construction projects and for the past six years managed the construction and remodeling of various golf course clubhouses for The Weitz Company but when he was laid off last fall, he began looking for a new career that would not only utilize his existing skill set but would provide a much-needed service to his community. Noticing more and more local residents were improving upon their existing homes, Wila began researching home improvement concepts and found House Doctors – a professional handyman service and one of the leading property repair, remodeling and maintenance companies in North America – to stand head-and-shoulders above the competition.

"People are foregoing costly moves and are instead transforming their existing residences into the homes they always wanted but to do that effectively, they needed someone they could trust to get the job done," said Wila, 55. "The level of reliability and professionalism I saw in House Doctors far exceeded what I found in any other concept and knew local residents would appreciate this unparalleled commitment to a job done right."

Wila officially opened House Doctors for business on May 18th and has already begun addressing the needs of homeowners throughout West Palm Beach, Wellington, Royal Palm Beach, Lake Worth, Green Acres and Palm Beach Island. Though he is still new to business ownership, Wila is already thinking about expanding to better serve residents throughout Palm Beach County and the surrounding counties of St. Lucie and Martin.

"A home is one of the most important investments anyone can make and they want to be assured that investment is protected at all costs," said Wila. "What House Doctors offers to any homeowner is that necessary peace of mind that we’ll complete every task as if we were doing the work in our own homes."
