In other words, sometimes these home service emergencies just can’t wait. Luckily, Yelp is here to help. We’ve searched near and far to find home service heroes who have come to the rescue when Yelpers were in a time of need.

Bed bugs are a serious situation that leave people panicked. Finding trustworthy help is top priority and being able to reference Yelp reviews can make the process easier. John, owner of B&B Pest Control and Johnny B’s Pest Control in Boston, knows that Yelp reviews are very important for his customers.

“The best reviews are the ones that speak to how our company is always very understanding with questions and concerns. In pest control people can get very frightened and worried. Many times other companies take this fear and capitalize on it, charging large amounts of money to solve the issue. On top of that, many companies rush these people with questions off the phone. We hear this all the time. My office staff is very courteous and always willing to stay on the line to answer any questions. We also love the reviews that point out how I might come out personally or how I followed up with them personally. It shows that I take every single customer seriously and want to help them. Which is very true. We treat our biggest and smallest customers the same. The pay us for a service and they expect a professional job done quickly and fairly priced, and we give them that. I love the reviews that mention they reached out to many other companies and nobody got back to them. We don’t use any answering services, either. I have staff, including myself, readily available at least 12 hours per day to take calls, answer Yelp messages or reply to emails. People love how we return messages late at night or on the weekends. That really separates us.”

While many save-the-day stories come from businesses like locksmiths, exterminators and movers, let’s not overlook the fact that every home service business owner is a hero. Hristo, who owns Boston Gutters, had an extra busy season because of all of the nor’easters that hit New England.
