About the referral service
Is Small Town Home Services a contractor?
No. Small Town Home Services is a referral service. It does not perform plumbing, heating, electrical or other contracting work. Work is carried out by the independent provider you choose, under the agreement you make with them.
What happens when I call?
Calls may be recorded and may be routed to an independent local service provider. Describe the problem, the property ZIP code and your timing, and ask the provider to confirm availability, price and scope before any work starts.
Which towns and counties do you cover?
The site focuses on Indiana County and Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, with local pages for Indiana, Blairsville, Greensburg, Latrobe and Murrysville. Provider coverage depends on the provider, so confirm your address on the call.
Can you guarantee an arrival time or 24/7 service?
No. Availability and arrival times depend on the independent provider and on demand in your area. Ask about timing directly on the call.
Who gives the estimate and sets the price?
The provider gives the estimate and sets the price. Ask about trip or diagnostic fees, after-hours charges, materials, and how changes to the work are priced before you agree.
How is the referral service paid?
The operator may be paid by service providers or call networks for referrals. The referral disclosure page explains how this works.
What should I do in a gas, fire or carbon monoxide emergency?
Leave the building and call 911 or your gas utility's emergency line from a safe place first. Do not rely on this website or a referral call for immediate danger.
Does the project planner book a provider?
No. The planner creates a project brief in your browser that you can copy or print. It does not send a request, match you with a provider or confirm a booking.
